On the Fly DMing - Custom Attack Macro

1554200862

Edited 1554202022
Have your PCs derailed from the story and decided to fight something that WASN'T PLANNED?!  Here I hope this helps you BS your way through that dumb encounter.  With this macro just bullsh- I mean act like you knew all along this encounter was gonna happen! &{template:pf_generic}{{name=?{Name Of Weapon}}}{{attack= [[1d20 + ?{BAB, Dex, Strength or Any bonus to hit?|-10|-9|-8|-7|-6|-5|-4|-3|-2|-1|0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15|16|17|18|19|20}]] }}{{Damage Type= ?{Type of Damage|Slashing|Bludgeoning|Piercing|Fire|Cold|Electricity|Thunder|Poison|Necrotic|Radiant|Psychic|Force|Acid}}}{{[[ ?{Number of Dice|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15}d?{Type of Die|2|4|6|8|10|12|20|100} + ?{Modifiers|?} ]]}} Adjust template as needed.  I personally feel like this is faster then making an entirely new sheet for things that were never really intended to be fought. ++++++++ Will prompt you for a weapon name Modifiers Available in a list format Typed damage in a list format Number of dice in a list format Type of dice in a list format ++++++++ Let me know if you found this useful!
Tried it, but it doesn't produce anything in the chat?  What might I be missing?

Kharmin, you and Muckbuckle might not be using the same sheet. Muckbuckle's macro is calling "&{template:pf_generic}", which is used by the PF Community sheet . Is that the same sheet you are using? If not, you will need to adjust the template tags to match those used by your sheet, most likely the Roll20 Official Sheet . ( Roll Template instructions here .)

So I tried what KeithCurtis suggested using  &{template:default} instead of &{template:pf_generic} and it worked. If you are using another character sheet you'll have to find a template that works for you unfortunately.

Fortunately, &{template:default} works for everybody. If you would like to change its appearance (for your browser only), look here .
