Spell book Macro (nested)

Ok I am working on creating a spell book macro.  Each Macro level that I make works by creating the named button as expected, except that when I push the button it returns "No ability was found for %{Algar Deepdelve|​;Toll-the-dead}"

This is a result of pushing the button created by this code

/w Algar Deepdelve &{template:default}{{name=Spells: Lvl-1}}{{Spell Slots Total/Remaining=**@{selected|lvl1_slots_total}**/**@{selected|lvl1_slots_expended}**}}{{Spell Levels= [Bless](!
%{Algar Deepdelve&#124​;Bless&#125​;)}}

The results in chat look correct, but the button fails as mentioned.


Any suggestions?

Use a vertical pipe instead of a comma between the character name and ability name. 


It looks like you’re playing D&D 5th edition using the ‘D&D 5E by Roll20’ sheet. If you don’t want to recreate the wheel, you can use my Universal Statblock MacroMule


Since you have a Pro subscription, it only takes about a minute to set up. Copy the GitHub code from that link, and paste it on a New Script on your game Mod scripts page. Then go into the game and type !macromule and click on the three buttons in chat. The script will create the MacroMule and Collections Macros and then you can select any PC or NPC token on the screen for the token action buttons to display the chat menus.

you mean in this spot here?


{Algar Deepdelve&#124​;Bless&#125​;)

I thought | was a pipe character

Unfortunately I am not the DM for this, he does not have a pro sub

I fixed it by changing the | to an actual | character

Ah whoops yeah I misread it on mobile. Glad you caught that. 

The Statblock MacroMule is available to all subscription levels. Pro just simplifies the creation of the MacroMule character. 

Every game can export up to 3 characters from the Characters/Character Vault, and I have a game set up with the MacroMule character available to be imported into anyone’s Characters/Character Vault page.

Barring that, it’s also possible to copy/paste all of the attributes into a MacroMule character by hand as well. It just takes a bit of time. You could copy all of the attributes and abilities into your own character in the game and just use it yourself. 

Thanks, I'll look into it
