Changing attributes with a macro

Hi guys, I know it's possible to add or subtract from the tracket using the &{tracker} functionality, but is there similar functionality that allows (the GM) the do similar things to a character attribute? My guess is no. In which case, is this something that is being considered for addition to the macro functionality, or would I need to get access to the API layer in order to do this sort of thing. For that matter, would the API give me what I needed to do this? Thanks, Philip

You are correct, no. Yes, the API can do this. :)

Thanks, Gauss. Is this something that you believe may be added to the macro functionality at some point? Do you know if there is a way to use the ampersand marker to effect anything else other than the initiative tracker? e.g. &{somethingelse:+}

Sorry, we Moderators cannot tell you what may or may not be added to Roll20 until it becomes public knowledge (assuming we knew at all). Perhaps you can post a suggestion in the suggestion forum. No. :)

This answer almost should be in a scrolling marque across the forum. :P
