This is a limitation of the script. There are so many things that can affect an PCs save or Skill (Ability) check (global modifiers, Reliable Talent, Jack of Trades, Remarkable Athlete and so forth) that I suggest reserving those functions for NPCs. The way abilities are stored however, they cannot be put into a dropdown query. The Order of Operations wants to expand the abilities into roll templates before forming the query, which breaks the syntax. We discussed several ways to get around this on one of the pages of the feedback thread , but nothing really worked well enough without requiring an API call at run time. I'll see if I can revisit the issue. Oosh posted some code that was promising. If I can work out a solution, It will be posted in that thread.
