Is it possible to Read a Page Variable from a Token Macro?

I would like to be able to set a universal DC on each different Map Page, and have the character tokens be able to use that value when checking for success or failure. I don't need logic just the ability of the macro to read a value from the current page. Is this possible. Or would it be possible to place a token object on the GM Layer and have it's value read without having to click on it.

Pages do not store variables, unfortunately. You could set up a DC as a character attribute they could access, and change that variable when you change pages.

KeithCurtis said: Pages do not store variables, unfortunately. You could set up a DC as a character attribute they could access, and change that variable when you change pages. I don't want to have to change the value on the character every time the page would change, if there was a way to have something on each page that could hold a value that could be accessed that would be the answer.

Well, you could set up a character and make a variable for each page, but then you need a much more complex macro set up to access the variables.  If it is just one variable that you set each time you change maps, the macros are much easier to deal with. 

If you set the variable in Bar 1 of a token (linked to the sheet as mentioned above), and kept that token on each map page, it would allow you to change it fairly rapidly. However, what you are asking for cannot be done with regular tools. It might be possible with a custom API script.

I figured out a work around, thanks for your suggestions.

Care to share the workaround, in case others have a similar problem?

System I am using for this, uses the bar2 to hold that variable, normally this is used for AC however in the system I use for this Armor Stops Damage, so that is simply a Character Attribute. Now it is still kind of a pain because you have to set the bar2 value each time the variable changes, but that is still a simple quick click on the token to change it. Works on PCs and NPCs and Creatures as long as the bar2 is used for that variable. Ideally it would be nice to have a few variables set on the page itself that could be read by a macro, might be something the DEVs could consider, or someone could write a script to do it.

A script couldn't add attributes to pages as pages don't have a place to put them.  There might be other solutions though, if you could share a bit more detail about your use case. For example, a script could proactively set an attribute on a character named "PlayerPages" that has some value for each player based on what page a player is on.

The easiest way to use it would be a token on the GM Layer that could carry the value in one of the bars. The application I want use this in is for a Universal DC for each particular page. When Rolling for Checks Players would be rolling against that Universal DC, which would compared to the Dice Roll Results. The object of this would be being able to place something on a page that could hold a variable, that a player's macro could read for comparison. Whew!
