[Card] Card Activated API, API readable data in cards

Some game systems, Simple System for example, don't use dice. Said system works entirely on cards. It would be extremely awesome if I could write data into, say, a Fireball card. It could read my Intellect or Resolve from my character sheet, automatically flip a card from the Resolution Deck, and use the checks of the color corresponding to my Int to deal damage to a chosen target. A Resolution card would have six data fields: Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, Initiative and Direction. Scripts and macros could read and use this data, just like they can use a dice roll. I think there are other game systems and games out there which could benefit from something like this also. =)

Simple System resolution cards would actually need ten data fields. RYGB checks, RYBG pips, initiative and direction. I love this idea. Right now card-based games on roll20 can't benefit from macros.

Derp, completely forgot pips, thanks Z.

I think this is a great idea, I'd like to be able to do stuff with this to make my own games more fun or to just have fun quick reference cards that can be played to give an effect. All round good idea and i support it.

As someone who has published card-based RPGs (Against the Dark Yogi, Shadows Over Sol), who has a Mentor account and who is a coder, this feature is the one I want more than any other. When I Kickstart my next game I want to be able to offer up Roll20 macros and scripts to supporters. But as it is, the API and macro support for cards are rather lacking.
