[5e Shaped] Skill check with Advantage

Trying to figure out how to make a macro for Athletics roll with Advantage, anyone have any insight?

I don't think there's a way to permanently give Athletics alone an advantage. It's pretty much global. You could do the following, using the Shaped Script commands:

!shaped-at --advantage
%{-Kxuzh6nmVSyQctBaYDP|repeating_skill_-l2c8q2l2r3tstrnm7jg_skill}
!shaped-at --normal

The middle line would have to be tailored for the character in question. Click on the athletics check from the character, and then click in the chat input window and press the up key.


EDIT: There's a timing issue. The advantage does not have time to register before the check is made. Advantage is never turned on. I'd just do:

%{-Kxuzh6nmVSyQctBaYDP|repeating_skill_-l2c8q2l2r3tstrnm7jg_skill}
%{-Kxuzh6nmVSyQctBaYDP|repeating_skill_-l2c8q2l2r3tstrnm7jg_skill}
and take the higher of the two results.

You can definitely set a skill to roll with permanent advantage. Click on the left most select element to choose how a skill is rolled.

Thanks Kryx. I had totally forgotten that feature. I shall now do the Dance of Shame.



Stop looking at me!

I did not know that feature existed, very cool.  What I was using it for was when raging to get the advantage on STR ability checks (and Saves i guess too). Playing an ancestral guardian with the Shield Master feat and trying to make it one button (or attacher) for the shove/prone part of the action.
