Question about a default template macro

here is the macro i have written: &{template:default} {{name=Blink Attack}} {{blink=[[6]] }} {{dc and attack roll=[[1d20cs>18+@{Sakura Hiboshik|Class1-BAB}+@{Sakura Hiboshik|Class2-BAB}+@{Sakura Hiboshik|Class3-BAB}+@{Sakura Hiboshik|MAB-Ability}+?{Other bonuses|0}]]}} {{damage=[[2d4+18+?{plus other|Nagashi,#Nagashi |none,0}]]}} #Nagashi should execute the following macro: [[1d10]] piercing + [[1?{which dice|d10,d10|d6,d6}]] electricity + [[1d6]] concussion however it does notwhat am i doing wrong?

You are running into the problem with nested roll queries. Doing this requires using advanced roll query formatting . The tl;dr of that is that you need to html encode bars, commas, and end curly braces of the nested query. Note that this will make #Nagashi not work if called outside of being nested in a roll query, and will only work at that level of nesting.

if i understand this i would need to make two #Nagashi one with html and one normal

Pretty much, looking at your set up, I might actually suggest something else. Make two macros: #Nagashi ?{Which Dice|#NagashiDice } #NagashiDice Nagashi d10,d10|Nagashi d6,d6 Then in your default macro you posted you'd do the following: &{template:default} {{name=Blink Attack}} {{blink=[[6]] }} {{dc and attack roll=[[1d20cs>18+@{Sakura Hiboshik|Class1-BAB}+@{Sakura Hiboshik|Class2-BAB}+@{Sakura Hiboshik|Class3-BAB}+@{Sakura Hiboshik|MAB-Ability}+?{Other bonuses|0}]]}} {{damage=[[2d4+18+?{plus other|#NagashiDice |none,0}]]}} Then you don't need to deal with the annoyance of html encoding or the global macro editor eating the html encodings.

on the character there is a tab called attributes and abilities. in there on the right had side there are the abilities. i made a bunch of them. is there a way to make one ability or macro to call one of them but have a drop down list for each one? i think i am getting terms mixed up.

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0in; mso-para-margin-right:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:8.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0in; line-height:107%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} Alright here is what I need A query that has a dropdown menu that has the following choices: Choice 1 runs this [[1d8+2d6+1d10+?{crit|yes,1d10|no,0}]] Choice 2 runs this [[?{which release|Nagashi1,1d6|Nagashi2,8d6+?{how many dice|0}d6]] Choice 3 runs this [[1d8+1+1d6+1+1d4+1+?{empowered,?{how many dice 2|0}d8+?{how many dice}+?{empowered,?{how many dice 2|0}d6+?{how many dice}+?{empowered,?{how many dice 2|0}d4+?{how many dice}]]

Or you could just create a macro for attacks that use each of those, and then create a chat menu macro that gives you a clickable button for each of those options.&nbsp; Or have your attack macro print out buttons for 3 different damage options. If you haven't checked out the stupid tricks thread stickied at the top of this forum, you might want to do so.&nbsp; Chat menus are one of the ideas from there.&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/5927072/" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/5927072/</a>

i haven't figured out how to make buttons cos that would be perfect for me. i have seen it but i haven't read in-depth yet but i guess i will now so i stop harassing you guys...lol
