Advantage on Death Saving Throw

Can anyone help me please? I have been looking for a way to make my death saving throw with advantage, but none of it works. Anyone have macro that works?
What game are you playing? Which character sheet are you using for the game? (There are 10 different character sheets for D&D 5th edition - if you’re not sure please post a screenshot.) What macro are you currently using? Please post the contents of the macro so that it can be copied and pasted and not just a screenshot (I don’t want to retype a macro from scratch to fix it.) What is the output that you are currently getting, and what would you like it to be?

For D&D 5e, you could create a macro that uses the inline roll [[ 2d20kh1 ]] which will roll 2d20 and display the highest result. If you are using the D&D 5e by Roll20 (2014) character sheet, you can create an ability on the Attributes and Abilities tab and designate it as either a token action or put it on your macro bar. Hovering your mouse cursor over the result will let you see both rolls.
I tested it out, if you run an ordinary death save, click the Chat Bar, and press UP on the Arrow Keys, it'll display the actual roll you used for the Death Save: IE @{Character|wtype}&{template:simple} {{rname=^{death-save-u}}} {{mod=@{Character|death_save_bonus}}} {{r1=[[@{Character|d20}+@{Character|death_save_bonus}[MOD]@{Character|globalsavingthrowbonus}]]}} {{normal=1}} {{global=@{Character|global_save_mod}}} @{Character|charname_output} You can take this, and find the part where it says "@{Character|d20}", and replace that with "2d20kh1", and then paste this into an Ability Macro as shown by Rick A. in the above post Replace "@{Character}" with your character's name, though since this is being placed inside of an ability macro, it will not be necessary to include your character's name. If you want to trim this down (very optional), replace all instances of "@{character|<attribute>}" with just "@{<attribute>}". The only caveat to trimming this is that it won't work if you test it while editing it. The macro must be saved and closed here. You can then name this macro "Death-Save-Adv" if you would like, and add it to either your Token Action and/or your Macro Bar for quick access. Additionally, if you wanted Disadvantage, replace the "kh1" in "2d20kh1" with "kl1" for Keep Lowest 1 Doing it this way will keep the visual usage of a regular save, but also automatically add the success/failure mark on your sheet
I think the version that automatically adds it onto the character sheet is pretty dope!  Here are two simple versions.  One for anything that isn't a halfling. One for the halfling with the reroll on 1 lucky ability. There is a dropdown.  You can pick if you're going to roll your death save regular or with advantage or with disadvantage.  There is a small note that makes it clear which version you've picked (in case you do something like accidentally roll regular instead of with advantage).  The halfling version will reroll a result of one (once per die). It's not fancy.  It can be copy/pasted and it'll work for every death save you need to roll (unless you get modifiers to your death save somehow).  You don't need the halfling version unless you're a halfling. &{template:default} {{ Death Save = ?{Death Save| Regular, Regular [[ 1d20 ]] | Advantage, Advantage [[ 2d20kh1 ]] | Disadvantage, Disadvantage [[ 2d20kl1 ]] } }} {{ Roll = ?{Death Save} }} {{ Death Save = Pray for me }} Halfling version -  &{template:default} {{ Death Save = ?{Death Save| Regular, Regular [[ 1d20ro ]] | Advantage, Advantage [[ 2d20rokh1 ]] | Disadvantage, Disadvantage [[ 2d20rokl1 ]] } }} {{ Roll = ?{Death Save} }} {{ Death Save = Pray for me }}
Thanks guys! I got it!
