need help with creating a macro

I want to play "Shadows of Brimstone" on roll20 and to include some macros as well. In this game you sometimes have to make skill-rolls for strength, etc. and you get 1 dice for each point of the attribute you have (Strength 4 means 4d6 eg.) Can somebody pleese tell me what the macro should look like so that I get one macro for all players that is linked to their attribut sheets? I was unable to find an answer in the forum.

Assuming a n attribute named Strength on the Attributes and Abilities tab, you can Sdd an Ability with: Strength @{Strength} Check: [[@{Strength}d6]]

If you also mark that as a Token Action, it will spear as a button when they select their token (provided it represents their character)
Thanks for your help. But how do the macro should be when I want to get the single results, not the added value. The 6's are written in green in the original macro formula, that is ok, since it often means a bonus effect.

If you haven't checked out the dice reference, you might want to do so (and maybe bookmark it):&nbsp; <a href="https://roll20.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037773133-Dice-Reference" rel="nofollow">https://roll20.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037773133-Dice-Reference</a> One way to do that would be to sort the dice, which would just be adding an "s" (sort ascending) or "sd" (sort descending) right after the 6.
The macro posts the sum in the chat and only when I move the curser above it the single rolls are shown. I can use it that way in the game. But it would be nice if the rolls would be shown directly. I've tried to modify the macro,but with no result.&nbsp;

I forgot how some things work differently as an inline roll (in between double square brackets) than they do using the /roll command.&nbsp; Try this: /roll @{Strength}d6sd That should show each individual die (sorted highest to lowest) with the total at the end.
