Help request scripting the 5e Sleep spell for hit points effected

Hello all, I am trying to script the hit points effected by the 5e Sleep spell where it effects 5d8 plus 2 more d8s for every level it is cast above level 1. My first thought would be something like: [[5d8+(?{Spell Slot Level|1}-1)d8]] but of course that is not correct.  Any ideas? Thank you! Barry

[[(5+(?{lvl|1}-1)*2)d8]] should work, but aren't you using 5e sheet? In that case you could just set the spell as "attack", and let it do the calculation and level selection, putting 5d8 as "damage" with "HP" as type, and 2d8 more per level above 1 EDIT: formula correction, I forgot it's 2d8 for each slot level
