Reliable Talent, but only with Cook's Utensils

I am trying to convince my DM to allow this, but it would help if I didn't have to do it manually. I want it to take my modifier for Cook's Utensils (currently expertise) and do a reliable talent roll where base rolls lower than 10 get replaced with 10. So that I can always be good at cooking.

You will need to make a macro for this. Which character sheet are you using? 
Roll20's 5e sheet. The old one.

Then yes, you need to make a macro.  To do that, click the Cook's Utensils, then go to your chat tab, click the box where you type, then hit the up arrow on your keyboard.  Copy the text and post it here please.

Here we go: @{Chester Tinkerstar|wtype}&{template:simple} {{rname=Cook's Utensils}} {{mod=6}} {{r1=[[@{Chester Tinkerstar|d20}+6[Mods]@{Chester Tinkerstar|pbd_safe}]]}} @{Chester Tinkerstar|advantagetoggle}+6[Mods]@{Chester Tinkerstar|pbd_safe}]]}} {{global=@{Chester Tinkerstar|global_skill_mod}}} @{Chester Tinkerstar|charname_output}

Alright, I see a problem. Advantage via advantage toggle will not work correctly with the macro method. To fix that you need to make a choice, either I set the macro up to always roll advantage, or you roll manually twice if you have advantage/disadvantage (ie: hit the macro twice). Which is your preference?
Always advantage is fine. If it displays two numbers like normal advantage rolls, I take the left by default, then the higher one with advantage and the lower with disadvantage.

One more question, which ability score do you want it set to? (Right now it says +6[Mods] but I can set it up so you don't have to edit it later)
Cook's Utensils use Wisdom, and I have expertise, so it's my Wisdom (+2), plus my proficiency bonus times two (2*2=4)

Alright, here you are, it goes into your Attributes and Abilities tab under Abilities:  @{Chester Tinkerstar|wtype}&{template:simple} {{rname=Cook's Utensils}} {{mod=[[@{wisdom_mod}+@{pb}*2]]}} {{r1=[[{@{Chester Tinkerstar|d20},10+0d0}kh1+[[@{wisdom_mod}+@{pb}*2]][Mods]@{Chester Tinkerstar|pbd_safe}]]}} {{always=1}} {{r2=[[{@{Chester Tinkerstar|d20},10+0d0}kh1+[[@{wisdom_mod}+@{pb}*2]][Mods]@{Chester Tinkerstar|pbd_safe}]]}} {{global=@{Chester Tinkerstar|global_skill_mod}}} @{Chester Tinkerstar|charname_output} Let me know if you have any difficulty with it. 
You can actually make it work with the advantage setting - the setting includes the toggle for showing the r2 row, so you can include a custom r2 row that shows only if the advantage setting allows a second roll to be shown, which will overwrite the default r2 row. @{Chester Tinkerstar|wtype}&{template:simple} {{rname=Cook's Utensils}} {{mod=[[@{wisdom_mod}+@{pb}*2]]}} {{r1=[[{@{Chester Tinkerstar|d20},10+0d0}kh1+[[@{wisdom_mod}+@{pb}*2]][Mods]@{Chester Tinkerstar|pbd_safe}]]}} @{Chester Tinkerstar|advantagetoggle}+6[Mods]@{Chester Tinkerstar|pbd_safe}]]}} {{r2=[[{@{Chester Tinkerstar|d20},10+0d0}kh1+[[@{wisdom_mod}+@{pb}*2]][Mods]@{Chester Tinkerstar|pbd_safe}]]}} {{global=@{Chester Tinkerstar|global_skill_mod}}} @{Chester Tinkerstar|charname_output}
