Wild Magic Surge

Hi, I am new to API scripting, and I am kind of stuck on the basics here. Let me outline what I want real quick. I have a Wild Magic Sorcerer, and I am trying to make his gameplay with the Wild Magic Surge Table as easy as possible. So what I would like is a Macro that he can run, that will give a command. That command will essentially roll a d20, check if its a 1, display the result regardless, and then add on a roll of the Wild Magic Table if the result is a 1. My idea was basically to have the script create a trait template output the info, using the template below. (Mocked up for general idea of use) &{template:traits} {{name=Wild Magic Check}} {{source=Character Building}} {{description= Rolling Wild Magic Surge: [[1d20]] Wild Magic Table Roll if 1}} I like the way this looks and I use it for a lot of my macros, so having this be the intended output would be amazing. Really I guess my question is, how do I craft output like this to display how I want? The actual logic of rolling and checking for a 1 is the easy part. I just need to know how to output right.

I use Powercards fpr pretty much anything, so my solution requires the powercards api. I don't even know if standard macros support conditionals. In powercards it would be somewhat like this: !power {{ --hroll|[[ [$Surge] 1d20]] --name|Wild Magic Check --leftsub|Source --rightsub|Subclass --Wild Magic Roll:|[ ^Surge.base] --?? [$Surge.base] = 1 ?? Wild Magic activated:| Roll on Wild Magic Table }} To actually roll on the wild magic Table you could use the recursive tables api with something like this: !rs [[ 1t[Wild-Magic] ]] to combine those two you can probably do something like !rs !power {{ --hroll|[[ [$Surge] 1d20]] --name|Wild Magic Check --leftsub|Source --rightsub|Subclass --Wild Magic Roll:|[ ^Surge.base] --?? [$Surge.base] = 1 ?? Wild Magic activated:| [[ 1t[Wild-Magic] ]] }} This is untested and out of the top of my head, and I probably made some stupid mistake, but you should get the principle.

Okay awesome! So this is working great. Like you said a few small changes needed to happen to make it work (no big deal, this was already a HUGE help) !power {{ --hroll|[[ [$Surge] 1d20]] --name|Wild Magic Check --leftsub|Source --rightsub|Subclass --Wild Magic Roll:|[^Surge.base] --?? $Surge.base == 1 ?? Wild Magic activated:|[[ 1t[Wild-Magic] ]] }} Recursive tables were not necessary. The double command of "!rs !power" didn't even run. "$Surge.base" didn't need to be in brackets. Double equals were required for the conditional "--?? $Surge.base == 1 ??" Thank you for the help. I might get addicted to these things now.

A real Danger...PowerCards just look so much better, than the standard templates, especially once you start customizing their looks. ^^ As I said...a bunch of really stupid mistakes, I always have them in the first versions of my macros...I probably spens more time fixing those stupid mistakes than actually writing macros xD But I'm glad you figured it out :)
