Chat Set Attr Create Damage Mod

{Updated) This is how I created an item that also creates a damage mod. Figured I'd share incase someone else needed a template.

!setattr --sel --replace --repeating_inventory_-CREATE_itemname|totem --repeating_inventory_-CREATE_itemcount|1 --repeating_inventory_-CREATE_itemweight|1 lb --repeating_inventory_-CREATE_itemcontent|A carved object imbued with the power of nature, amplifying elemental spells. Grants a +1 bonus to fire, cold, and lightning spell damage. --repeating_damagemod_-CREATE_global_damage_name|Totem --repeating_damagemod_-CREATE_global_ac_val|2 --repeating_damagemod_-CREATE_global_damage_damage|1 --repeating_damagemod_-CREATE_global_damage_type|Fire, cold, and lightning spell damage.

Hope it helps!

Hi Corgi,
Thanks for sharing your macro. What sheet are you using? Each sheet has it's own attributes and unique repeating sections, so the attribute names are important.
Cheers

It's the standard 2014 5e sheet. Just need the chat set attr api.

Hi Corgi, 

Just a note, there is no "standard 2014 5e sheet", there are many D&D 5e 2014 sheets on Roll20 (depending on how you count them anywhere from 7 to 23).

Please provide the name or a screenshot so folks are certain which sheet is in use. :)

I find this response interesting.

I agree with the importance of sharing which character sheet the question relates to and that there are a large number of 2014 5e sheets (none of which are recognized as a "standard 5e 2014 5e sheet").

But I'm surprised that someone might think that the phrase "standard 5e 2014 sheet " would be something other than the D&D 5e 2014 by Roll20 sheet.

I've also noticed that when I create a game from "official" content (e.g., Curse of Strahd), the default character sheet is D&D 5e 2014 by Roll20.  I'm not sure if this is standard behavior for anyone using WoTC modules, or just for my games.

Because unfortunately if you've been around the forums (or Roll20 subreddit or any Roll20 Discord servers) for long enough, you'll see people who say they are using some version of 'standard sheet' and after troubleshooting for long enough discover that they are not in fact using the D&D 5E 2014 by Roll20 sheet.  Sometimes the entire issue is that they think they are using it, but have unintentionally selected a different sheet but never bothered to double check.  

Asking for that kind of clarification usually helps get better responses to any other questions that get posed as well.

What Jarren said. :D

I've been doing this for many years and I cannot count the number of times someone says they are using one thing, but in reality are using something else. Such as a certain character sheet. 

So when someone says "default" or "standard" I ask for clarification. If that means they have to jump through a couple of extra hoops for specificity, well I hope in the future they are specific about which of the many character sheets they are using. 

Oh, another fun one: "5e" COULD mean D&D 5e, but it can also mean other RPGs which are either D&D 5e based, or have 5e in their name and are not D&D 5e based. 

D&D 5e 2014 by Roll20 sheet. I figured it's standard since when you load up a 5e module it's the one that shows up.

Yeah, that is usually the one folks mean, but the problem is when it isn't. :)
