Roll dice as character

Hello all is there a way to roll as a character without changing the "as" in chat? We have a round in which we play several characters and the change between the rolls is always very tiring.

there's a chat command that pretty-much does that, I think: /as /emas but those commands are only available to GM's not to players, but as a PRO you can install an API Script that lets players do it too using !emas

Yes that with the /as I had also seen, but that with the GM only is the problem and I would like to make the sheet usable without API's.

Do the sheets have dice-buttons on them? If yes -- Drag-and-drop the button from the (each) Sheet, onto the Macro Quick Bar.  It'll show initially with a long funny ID name, you can right-click and RE-name it, to name's like: Sword from Bob's Sheet Sword from Shannon's sheet Crossbow from Leroy's sheet If not you may still be able to program/write such macros, it would be using the ID to specify a known-character that has a sheet.

But then the correct name is not displayed when rolling the dice?

What sheet are you using? Many sheets use roll templates which have the character name in them already...?

I write the character sheet myself, but then you have a name duplication, for example: Tealk: Character name: Dice roll
When we're rolling multiple characters, we set the Player Name for the "speaking as" and use the roll template to output the character name. So you'll see Player Name - Roll details - Character Name.

Is there an API which automatically changes the "as" to a token when you select it?
