Monk AC question (Pathfinder)

I'm brand new to Roll20 in particular and have very little experience with PnP RPGing in general. (I've only played a couple levels of DND several years ago). Despite this, I'm trying to set up something to play with my kids. The problem is that in setting up the character sheets, I'm running into a lot of confusion about how to make them work. So with that long-winded (and perhaps unnecessary backstory) let me get to my question. Is there a good way to set up the monk class wisdom bonus to armor in the character sheet so that it automatically updates? I've tried inserting a formula in the miscellaneous modifier box, but I'm either doing it wrong or it can't be done that way. I don't see a place where the formula for the AC total is calculated so I can't insert something there to add in the wisdom bonus. Bonus question for the monk. Setting up "flurry of blows" is proving tricky too. Do I just delete all the prewritten stuff in the macro and try to write my own when I add it as an attack, or is there a way to make the existing stuff work? In general, I'm finding it very difficult to figure out how to work with macros and formulas since I can't find a place where there is a description of all the options and how to use them. When do I use "@", "%", "{ }", "( )" etc. Is there some sort of dictionary available or something. I saw the option to use "kl1" to keep the lowest one, but is there a way to keep the highest one ("kh1" maybe?)? (That would be useful for writing a macro for the toughness feat.) I know very little about macros and programming, but am usually fairly good at figuring stuff out if I can find the right place to look. That has been a challenge though. I'd appreciate help locating the dictionary if there is one. Thanks.

Hi Ainoster. I believe the Misc(@{AC-misc}) column on the Defenses tab is the best(only?) way to add the Monk's Wis modifier to AC. It doesn't auto update when Wis changes, but that shouldn't happen that often. You would have to adjust @{AC-misc} when needed. Inserting a formula into the field probably won't work in most cases unless the sheet's html is written to use it. Like the @{HP-formula} attribute. For flurry of blows, create separate Flurry of Blows attacks for (insert unarmed strike or the monks special weapon). Make the appropriate adjustments/penalties on each, such as -2 to all attack rolls, and adjust for BAB=monk level.(just change the attack mod). You could also make your own macros based of the attribute from the PF sheet. This normally creates a very large macro due in no small part to the use of repeatable sections. For example (taken from the wiki Pathfinder Character Sheet Guide ); Repeating Weapon Attack Roll for Slot 0 - this works for melee/ranged depending on "attack type" and "damage ability" used on the sheet. Attack macro for slot 0: [[1d20 + (@{selected|repeating_weapon_0_proficiency} + (((@{selected|repeating_weapon_0_enhance} + @{selected|repeating_weapon_0_masterwork}) + abs(@{selected|repeating_weapon_0_enhance} - @{selected|repeating_weapon_0_masterwork})) / 2) + @{selected|repeating_weapon_0_attack} + @{selected|repeating_weapon_0_attack-type} + @{selected|armor-proficiency})]] Repeating Weapon Damage for Slot 0 - this works for melee/ranged depending on "attack type" and "damage ability" used on the sheet. Damage macro for slot 0: [[@{selected|repeating_weapon_0_damage-dice-num}d@{selected|repeating_weapon_0_damage-die} + (@{selected|repeating_weapon_0_enhance} + @{selected|repeating_weapon_0_damage} + @{selected|repeating_weapon_0_damage-ability})]] Of course you will probably want to customize these very sterile attack and damage macros, but you get the idea. The Dice Reference and Macros on the wiki are great resources to learn about how to manipulate dice rolls and create your own custom macros. Some hints; use @ in combination with { } to call an attribute e.g. @{BAB}, @{character_name}, @{Fort}, etc. You can also add information in front of the attribute like "selected" or "target" to signify who's attribute you want. e.g. @{selected|BAB}, or @{target|AC}. When using "target", you will be prompted to choose a target before the macro will continue. Use ( ) to help satisfy the the order of operations(math). The math inside parenthesis will be executed first. I'm sure this can all be explained much better by other's. Read over the wiki links for sure and post back with questions. Lot's of helpful and knowledgeable people here on the forums. Cheers
