Hard to tell what you are talking about without examples. Are you talking about Roll Templates? Chat Menus?
So when the macros roll in the chat screen and they look all cool instead of just listing dice rolls.

Sounds like you want your macros to include the roll template that's included with the sheet you are using.  What is the macro you would like to roll, and which sheet are you using?
So I saw them from the 5E sheet. And I would like to add it to a bunch of different dice roll macros. I have a list of macros that are like xdx+x type macros and I use 3dF for luck generation

Here's a whole page dedicated to the 5e OGL sheet's roll templates. <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/D%26D_5e_OGL_Roll_Templates" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/D%26D_5e_OGL_Roll_Templates</a> (not really familiar with the OGL sheet and I'm not sure what "3dF for luck generation" means...) simple macro with prompts &amp;{template:simple} {{rname=modifier}} {{mod=?{mod|0}}} {{r1=[[?{number of dice?|1}d?{die size?|20}+?{mod}]]}} {{always=1}} {{r2=[[?{number of dice?|1}d?{die size?|20}+?{mod}]]}} {{charname=@{selected|character_name}}}
Holy Crap that looks hard LOL

You have to be using the 5E sheet though, since roll templates are part of the character sheet code.&nbsp; Just thought I would throw it out there since you mentioned seeing them from 5E, but not whether you were actually using that sheet in your games.

Joey V. said: Holy Crap that looks hard LOL lol It's not that bad once you start playing around with it.&nbsp; Some sheet's roll templates are more complicated than others, but they all basically do some formatting/layout to match the sheet and apply some basic logic to rolls.&nbsp; Truthfully, most sheet's handle most any roll you might want to make without the need to make custom macros.&nbsp; You can also drag/drop sheet buttons to the quick bar (rename and colorize).&nbsp; But, macros do offer a whole lot of customization...

@kraynic Good point.&nbsp; 5e OGL.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Im the Gm so I wanted my rolls to look cool so i was trying to get something like this [[?{Number of dice?|1}d4+?{Modifier?|0}]] So it comes out in the cool brackets
&nbsp; I would also like these combined &amp;{template:default}{{name=Luck Dice}}{{=[[3df]]}} /w gm [[?{Number of dice?|1}d4+?{Modifier?|0}]] So to me it would look cool LOL
