Hi want to create a Makro which targets an active player. E.g. I usually have Steph, Alex, Chris, Kim & Andi in my game. Andi is missing today so the Makro rolls a D4 and chooses Alex. Next week Andi's back. And the makro rolls a D5.  Is something like this possible ?

It's possible, but it won't be automated in any way. You can create a macro which will need to be manually adjusted each time you play, for the active players in the game. What do you want the macro to actually do - just print out the name of the character who has been chosen by the die? Or does it need to do something else?

Easiest might be to just make a rollable table with everybody's names, and a macro to roll it. Then just re-roll results for the person missing, or you could edit the table prior to the session to remove the player from the rollable table. /r 1t[TableName] or within a template: &{template:default} {{name=Fate}} {{Fate Chooses:= [[ 1t[TableName] ]]}}
