Help with default template

I am trying to write up a simple summon template macro for shadowrun, I have the following so far &{template:default} {{name=?{SummonType|} Force=?{Force|0} Pool=?{SummonDice|0}}}{{[[?{SummonDice|0}D6sd>5]]Vs[[?{Force|0}D6sd>5]]}} {{Drain Resist[[(?{DrainDice|0}D6sd>5)]]}} This works pretty well but I would like to be able to save off  [[?{Force|0}D6sd>5]] 's result and then re-use that value to calculate the drain which would "SavedValue"*2- [[(?{DrainDice|0}D6sd>5)]] Any way to store that value in a variable.

Hmm. So what you're want is doable... you just have to do it in one go, then peel off the rolls you need later. Anything between template parts won't print, so you can put your grandest, totalest roll there. Then reference the component parts where you need them. Your large roll would be to use the Force roll with the drain dice roll... [[ [[?{Force|0}d6sd>5]] * 2 - [[(?{DrainDice|0}d6sd>5)]] ]] That would produce three rolls you can reference elsewhere by their roll marker ID: $[[0]] = [[?{Force|0d6sd>5]] $[[1]] = [[(?DrainDice|0}d6sd>5)]] $[[2]] =  [[ [[?{Force|0}d6sd>5]] * 2 - [[(?{DrainDice|0}d6sd>5)]] ]] So you can do: &{template:default}  [[ [[?{Force|0}d6sd>5]] * 2 - [[(?{DrainDice|0}d6sd>5)]] ]]  {{name=?{SummonType|} Force=?{Force|0} Pool=?{SummonDice|0}}}{{[[?{SummonDice|0}D6sd>5]]Vs$[[0]]}} {{Drain Resist=$[[1]]}} {{Drain Value=$[[2]]}}

That seems to do it thanks!, as a follow up any way to set the final subtraction to a 0 floor instead of going negative?

That also got it, awesome thanks. For anyone else interested here is the final version. &{template:default} ?{SummonType|} [[ {[[ [[?{Force|0}d6sd>5]] * 2 - [[(?{DrainDice|0}d6sd>5)]]]], 0}kh1 ]] {{name=?{SummonType|} Force=?{Force|0} Pool=?{SummonDice|0}}}{{[[?{SummonDice|0}D6sd>5]]Vs$[[0]]}} {{Drain Resist=$[[1]]}}{{Drain=$[[3]]}}

Just make sure you're using the correct roll in each part, now, as the new formation will have 4 indexed rolls (0 - 3).
