Total Damage for an attack?

How can you get a total damage shown on an attack? How can I get a standard attack roll show me the damage types as normal AND show me a total for damage? I want the rolls to show me 50 for the first attack and 33 for the second. During games, it gets annoying adding up rage, piercing, fire damage, poison damage, etc for every single roll. 2+5+10+7, etc... I know attacks show you the individual damage types, which is perfectly fine, but I also want a total at the end. Is this possible?

It is possible, but requires custom macros. This is easy enough for a player, but would take a very long time for NPCs - you need to alter every attack on every NPC sheet. As an example, for the Bite attack you have screen-shotted, you would need to change the attack macro to link to a custom critical damage macro by changing the {{rnamec}} or {{typec}} field. Then create the damage macro, which, instead of {{dmg1=[[2d6]]}} {{crit1=[[2d6]]}} would be {{dmg1=[[2d6 + 2d6[CRIT]]]}} {{crit1=}} That will give you mouseover info, but add the damage together. Your second example looks like it's using global damage modifiers. To get these into the main roll, you need to add @{global_damage_mod_roll} to your {{dmg1=[[ ]]}} template field, and remove the {{global}} one. This also requires custom macros to function properly.

Thank you! That is exactly what I wanted!
