Tip for a World Of Darkness just one Button macro

Hi all, I have been working for a while trying to make a nice macro to use on a Old World Of Darkness Campaign. I end up with a solution, that it may be obvious for you guys, but I will share it just in case =D What I did to have just one Macro button for all  players to quickly throw Nd10 at an X difficulty and having count its successes minus the 1's , is this: I create a Character named DiceMacro. Set to be used by All Players. One of its Attributes is DicePool set at a value of 5 and another Attribute named Difficulty set at a value of 6. You have to use a token on each map assaigned to that "DicePool" character and set BAR 1 as Difficult, and BAR 3 as DicePool Then, create a macro as fallows: /roll @DiceMacro: DicePoold10>@DiceMacro; Difficultyf1 Be aware that when entering the Attributes, an empty space is created next to it. It is best to write all the macro, and then remove the spaces before "d10" and "f1". Set this macro so all players can use it, and show it on the Macro Bar. And this is it! Whenever a player has to throw the dices, she has to set on the token's first input the quantity of dices to roll, and in the second input, the Difficulty. Then, hit the macro button, and there it is. Nd10 at a designated Difficulty, counting the successes minus the 1's! Hope someone find this useful and sorry for the poor english!
That's fantastic, very creative.  I hadn't thought of using a token to handle dice variables.  I know there was another questions previously about how to use variables before the end of a macro and this is definitely a solution.  Perfect for WoD where you don't necessarily know what the difficulty is going to be (so making preset character macros doesn't work that well). Thanks!

Moved to On-Topic forum. :)&nbsp; Thank you for reminding people how to do this. This question comes up a lot. If you ever want to write a how to guide about how to play World of Darkness on Roll20 we do accept submissions. While there is already one for nWoD there is not currently one for oWoD.&nbsp; <a href="http://help.roll20.net/system-specific-guides/" rel="nofollow">http://help.roll20.net/system-specific-guides/</a> - Gauss
