Help multiplying damage by successes

1603004977

Edited 1603005075
&{template:default} {{name=Change this}} {{attack=[[1d20+@{Frey|BAB}+@{Frey|DEX|Max}]]}} {{Number of Hits=[[{5d8!!}>5]]}}{{Effect= Change this. It rolls extra die for the success}} {{damage= [[1d6+@{Frey|STR|Max}]]*(Number of Hits)}} I have this I want the Number of hits to be successes rolled in the previous line? Is there a way to do that?  So that 5* what is rolled in Number of hits.

If I understand what you're asking, this should do the trick using the Reusing Rolls technique from the roll20 wiki. It's not possible to this normally - but the Reusing Rolls method uses an undocumented trick, possibly a bug. &{template:default} {{name=Change this}} [[ [[{5d8!!}>5]] * [[1d6+@{Frey|STR|Max}]] ]] {{attack=[[1d20+@{Frey|BAB}+@{Frey|DEX|Max}]] }} {{Number of Hits=$[[0]]}}{{Effect= Change this. It rolls extra die for the success}} {{damage= $[[1]] }}

edit - dammit, GiGs was too fast.... though I think the damage should be $[[2]], not $[[1]]? There's a stupid trick to reference previous rolls that achieves this in a round-about way. You need to do all the math outside the template fields, then grab the bits you want with $[[0]] calls: &{template:default} {{name=Change this}} {{attack=[[1d20+@{Frey|BAB}+@{Frey|DEX|Max}]]}} [[ [[{5d8!!}>5]]*[[1d6+@{Frey|STR|Max}]] ]] {{Number of Hits=$[[1]]}}{{Effect= Change this. It rolls extra die for the success}} {{damage= $[[3]]}}

It rolls extra die for the success}} {{damage= $[[1]] }} Basically if number of hits rolls a 1 I want the damage dice to roll so 1d6+3 * 1 If it Number of hits rolls a 5  I want the damage dice roll to be 1d6+3 * 5  If that makes sense? Or if that is possible. If it isn't then it is fine we can easily do the math ourselves.

Try out the macro I posted, after changing the damage section to {{damage=$[[2]]}} and it should do what you want.

I tried it out and I got this.  It isn't multiplying the 8 by the successes rolled in Number of hits. Edit :  Literally after posting, I just changed the number to 3 and it made it what I wanted. It works with 3 not 2 or 1 for whatever reason.

Did you use Oosh's version of the macro? That requires numbers that are each 1 higher due to the different order of inline rolls.
Nope. I just copied your code and stuck it in there and changed the {{damage= $[[1]] }} to a {{damage= $[[3]] }}
