A couple more macro questions.

Forgive me if this has been addressed already, but my searching didn't come up with a definitive answer. Okay, I've created some macros that access a specific character's stats, but when I make it show up on the Macro bar it seems to be visible by all players. Is the macro bar more of a "Global" macro repository? Also, is there the capability to make a true GM only roll? The way I'd like to play my game is with 3 main kinds of rolls. 1: Everyone sees the results. (Firing a laser pistol) everyone can see if he/she hits their target or not. 2: GM & Player, so the rest of the party may not know what this one player & GM does. 3: GM ONLY. I like to use this for things like stealth/hide checks. The character tries to hide, but doesn't really know if they're successful or not. Of course I'd let them know if they fumble the hide roll and it was obvious to them that hiding behind that stop sign isn't fooling anyone. Thanks again.

1)  /roll for everyone.  2) if the player does /gmroll then only the player and GM will see it. 3) if the GM does /gmroll then only the GM will see it. 4) Are you using Macros (settings tab) or Abilities (journal)?  5a) If you are using Macros have you selected the macro to being visible by some or all players?  5b) If you are using Abilities is the Journal field 'In Player's Journals' set to some or All Players? Is the Journal field 'Can be Edited...' set to some or All Players? Just for clarification, are they seeing the macro button in the macro bar or are they just seeing your roll? No, the macro bar is not a global repository. But there are ways to make macros visible for everyone. First you set the macro (or Journal) to be visible (or visible and editable) by the players and then the player has to checkmark the Macro/Ability in order to see it in the macro bar. - Gauss
