Hovering over Inline Rolls

Hey everyone! First off, is everyone as excited as me about the new character sheets? I play Star Wars Saga Edition and I use the available character sheet and compliment it with my own ability macros. In Star Wars Saga Edition, a basic attack roll would be 1d20+[Base Attack Bonus]+[Dexterity Modifier (if it is a ranged attack)]+(any misc modifiers). So I would write out the macro like this [[1d20+@{BAB}[Base Attack]+floor((@{DEX}/2)-5)[Dex]]] In this case the roll was 8 and, in the chat window, when I hover over the inline roll it reads something like this: Rolling 1d20+4[Base Attack]+floor((18/2)-5)[Dex] (8)+4+floor((18/2)-5) The result is 16, which is correct, but is there any way for it to print out like this? Rolling 1d20+4[Base Attack]+4[Dex] (8)+4+4 In other words, instead of it printing out "+floor((18/2)-5)[Dex]" could it instead print out "+4[Dex]" ??? This way, while you hover over the inline roll, it is much easier to understand how the roll is broken down. Thanks for reading my question! -Johnny
Depends on the character sheet in questions, but I don't believe you can break that out. Most sheets from what I've seen have derived values instead of raw numbers. That lets them update dynamically while changing only one or two values (Like how changing your Dex score changes your rolls affected by it).

I do not believe there is a way to do that, since I don't think the math in autocalculated fields is the same as rolling. However, the following as a macro would spell it out before providing the result: "Rolling 1d20+[[@{BAB}]][Base Attack]+[[floor((@{DEX}/2)-5)]][Dex]: [[1d20+@{BAB}[Base Attack]+floor((@{DEX}/2)-5)[Dex]]]"
