3.5 Where is the damage field in the weapons?

Seriously, I know it sounds like a very stupid question, and it probably is, but where is the weapon damage field?

The leftmost box under damage calc/macro. You can see the 1d6+@{ showing in the field. If you mouse over it, the title will display it's name: weapon1damage
thanks!! now a second question: if I roll the attack through the button in the sheet, I can't select the target (So the macro runs, but it attacks agains some random AC).If I copy the macro the "macro" session, create a quickbar button, etc and roll, it gives back errors saying it can't find any of the variables. What should I do?

The value it gives you is the AC that that attack could hit. The built in macros do not ask for an attack target; it is up to the GM to compare the target's AC vs the value rolled and displayed to determine whether it actually hit or not. If you put it under your macros in the gear tab, it unfortunately does not know which character you wish to pull data from so you have to tell it in the macro. For example you could use @{George|weapon6attackmacro} to run George's macro. If you copied the full macro, you would have to insert the George| in the macro for all the variables ie: {{name=@{George|character_name} }} You could also use a selected or a target instead; that would look more like: {{name=@{target|character_name} }} or {{name=@{selected|character_name} }} . Using target will prompt you for a target; if you use selected, you will have to have a token which is linked to a character sheet selected to get it to work (the initiative button/roll works that way).
Awesome! thanks for explaining :D
there is also the option of using each characters abilities tab to add the macro there... that automatically assumes that the field being referenced is the one the ability is tied to, without having to edit any field references at all. it also lets you click token macro and have it come up in the token macro list at the top of the page, meaning you just have to select the character to bring up the attack you want to use, and click the right macro.

also has the added benefit of the macros being available to anyone else who might need to use them - generally the GM when you've been dominated or charmed, or when a friend plays your character while you're afk for half an hour because you leave for a few minutes.
