Adding Successes from One Roll to the Dice of another

Hello:  I'm fairly new to Roll20 and working with the Die system, but I've run into a problem that I can't solve.  I need to Roll an attack roll that looks something like this: /roll ({Ability}+{Attribute})d10>7cf1 I've got that roll figured out no problem.  THEN I need to roll a damage roll for this attack that looks something like this: /roll (5+{Successes Rolled in Last roll})d10>7 But I can't figure out how to pass the number of successes rolled in the previous roll over to the damage roll without using a query. Ultimately I'd like to run these two rolls automatically as a macro.   I seems this issue has had to be addressed at some point, but I can't find anything in the Wiki or the Forums that deals with this specifically. Maybe I'm just looking for the wrong information.

It isn't possible to reuse the results of prior rolls in future formulas without the use of the API (Pro Subscriber Perk).  The API doesn't so much make this possible in formulas, as provides a different environment that is capable of more complex behaviors.

Darn! Well, thanks for the information. I find it interesting that the dice roller can't handle this behavior since its a fairly common aspect of many White Wolf games.  How have other GMs dealt with this issue?

I think the most common way of dealing with it is to print out a link to a damage roll macro along with the attack roll, and that link will prompt the player to enter the damage modifier.
