How to roll different dice for different attribute values

I want to make a character sheet, but for that i need help with a command, in this case how do I call for example : 2d6 if STR = 10 or 2d8 STR=11 ...

Depends on the exact progression. It may require a sheetworker if it's super complex, and even if it isn't I might still use a sheetworker. But for your specific example, a pure macro solution is: [[2d[[{@{strength},0}<10*6+{@{strength},0}>11*8]] ]] Which would roll 2d6 if your strength is 10 or less, or 2d8 if it's 11 or more.

A need for this Table bellow.

Oof. That's possible to do using the technique I showed, but it would be one FUGLY macro. I think a sheetworker, if you're making your own custom sheet, or an API script are going to be much better options.

Does strength often change during play?  If this is something that gets set once during play and rarely changed, you could either have an input where people put the dice formula, or just use a dropdown that sets the dice when you select the strength value from the drop down list. Also, is 15 supposed to be 5d6 instead of 5d10?  It seems like that would make more sense for the overall progression.

I'd go for a sheet worker, and store the damage dice in a stat called "damage" or "strength_dice". But to construct the sheet worker we'd need to know: Is this dice progression only for the strength stat, or do other stats use it too? Are the dice ever subject to modifiers (like +1 STR), and if so do they modify the stat or the dice?

Are the dice ever subject to modifiers (like +1 STR), and if so do they modify the stat or the dice? This dice progression is for the 4 basic stats; And for exemple ; STR 10 is 2d10,  10 STR + 1 STR  = 11 STR Or 2d12

Okay, you didnt answer the question about whether stats ever get modified, so i am ignoring that. Here's a sheet worker that will calculate dice values for your stats. There's some prep work to do: Step 1: Assuming you have an input for the attribute like <input type="number" name="attr_strength" value="10"> create a matching dice attribute for each one like <input type="text" name="attr_strength_dice" value="" readonly> It doesnt have to be visible, you could hide it like <input type="hidden" name="attr_strength_dice" value="" readonly> The attributes must start the same - spelled exactly the same - as the attribute they are based on, and then have _dice added to the end. Step 2: Now check if your html sheet has a script block. If you dont have one already, create the following at the bottom of your sheet: < script   type = "text/worker" > </ script > Any and all sheet workers go between the two script lines. Step 3: Finally add the following sheet worker between the script lines. The first two lines need adjusting. Enter the extra dice roll values in order, in the same way the first few are listed here, on the dice_values line. And on the stat_names line, enter the four attribute names (I wrote strength and dexterity, just as examples, you can replace them). They must be spelled exactly the same as on the character sheet - though whether capital letters are used or not doesnt matter. In this array, only use lower case. const   dice_values  = [ '1' ,  '1d2' ,  '1d4' ,  '1d6' ]; const   stat_names  = [ 'strength' ,  'dexterity' ]; const   name_end  =  'dice' ; //if you want to use a different name end, change it here. stat_names . forEach ( stat   =>  {      on ( `change: ${ stat } ` , ()  =>  {          getAttrs ([ stat ],  v   =>  {              const   score  = + v [ stat ] ||  0 ;              const   dice  =  dice_values [ Math . max ( 0 ,  Math . min (dice_values.length -1 ,  score ))];              setAttrs ({                  [ ` ${ stat } _ ${ name_end } ` ]:   dice             });         });     }); }); And voila, with that in place, your dice values will calculate automatically, at least up to scores of 39. You'll be able to use the dice in a macro or a roll using @{strength_dice}
