Thanks. I made a post in the sheet's thread.

Gambling Macros

Are your adventurers spending some time and coin in the local gambling establishment?  Then this is what you are looking for!

Here are some quick and fun gambling macros that I made up for my 5e game, but they can easily be adapted to any setting. I used my old 1st ed AD&D Dungeon Master's Guide as inspiration to create these games, it's honestly the best source for games of chance.

Slot Variant (A simple 6 number slot machine, the results show at the bottom of the template) 

&{template:5eDefault} {{title=Slots}}{{subheader=Gambling}} {{subheaderright=?{Bet|5} GP}} {{emote=Pulling the magical lever....}} {{rollname=}}{{roll=**Payouts**}} {{6-6-1=[[?{Bet|5}*2]] GP}} {{6-6-2=[[?{Bet|5}*3]] GP}} {{6-6-3=[[?{Bet|5}*4]] GP}} {{6-6-4=[[?{Bet|5}*5]] GP}} {{6-6-5=[[?{Bet|5}*6]] GP}} {{1-1-1=[[?{Bet|5}*4]] GP}} {{2-2-2=[[?{Bet|5}*8]] GP}} {{3-3-3=[[?{Bet|5}*10]] GP}} {{4-4-4=[[?{Bet|5}*12]] GP}} {{5-5-5=[[?{Bet|5}*24]] GP ***Winner***}} {{6-6-6=[[?{Bet|5}*36]] GP ***Jackpot***}} {{Results=[[1d6]] | [[1d6]] | [[1d6]]}} @{selected|classactioncustom1skill}

Zowie Slot Variant (a higher stakes version of the slot machine with more higher payouts)

&{template:5eDefault} {{title=Zowie Slots}}{{subheader=Gambling}} {{subheaderright=?{Bet|5} GP}} {{emote=Pulling the magical lever....}} {{rollname=}}{{roll=**Payouts**}} {{6-6-1=[[?{Bet|5}*2]] GP}} {{6-6-2=[[?{Bet|5}*4]] GP}} {{6-6-3=[[?{Bet|5}*6]] GP}} {{6-6-4=[[?{Bet|5}*8]] GP}} {{6-6-5=[[?{Bet|5}*10]] GP}} {{6-6-7=[[?{Bet|5}*12]] GP}} {{6-6-8=[[?{Bet|5}*15]] GP}} {{1-1-1=[[?{Bet|5}*8]] GP}} {{2-2-2=[[?{Bet|5}*12]] GP}} {{3-3-3=[[?{Bet|5}*14]] GP}} {{4-4-4=[[?{Bet|5}*16]] GP}} {{5-5-5=[[?{Bet|5}*20]] GP}} {{6-6-6=[[?{Bet|5}*24]] GP}} {{7-7-7=[[?{Bet|5}*50]] GP ***Jackpot***}} {{8-8-8=[[?{Bet|5}*100]] GP ***Zowie!!***}} {{Results=[[1d8]] | [[1d8]] | [[1d8]]}} @{selected|classactioncustom1skill}

In Between (the object is for your center roll to be in between the two house rolls)

&{template:5eDefault} {{title=In Between}}{{subheader=Gambling}} {{subheaderright=?{Bet|10} GP}} {{emote=Come on for papa....}} {{Results=[[1d20cs>21cf>1]] • [[1d20cs>1cf>1]] • [[1d20cs>21cf>1]]}} {{odds= **5/2**}} {{payout= [[?{Bet|10}*5/2]] GP}} {{rules= Center die must be  between the other two. *Tie=loss*. 
**If outside dice match automatic loss.** }} @{selected|classactioncustom1skill}

Roulette (a simply variant of the classic roulette, the number will come up either red or green ranging from 1-36)

&{template:5eDefault} {{title=Roulette}}{{subheader=Gambling}} {{subheaderright=?{Bet|5} GP}} {{emote=Lucky Numbers!}} {{Result=[[{1d36cs>37cf<0}*{ceil(1d2/2)}]]}} {{[[?{Bet|5}*2]] GP=Red/Green}} {{[[?{Bet|5}*2]] GP =Odd/Even}} {{[[?{Bet|5}*35]] GP=Number}}  {{Number=***or   Color***}} {{Bet=***♦ ?{Betting number 1-36, Red/Green, or Odd/Even| Green} ♦***}} @{selected|classactioncustom1skill}

Happy gambling!

Nice work Ed, I've thrown climb the greasy pole, catch the pig, arm wrestling, archery contests, wrestling, spell craft contests and performance contests at my players but it would be great to have something more casino based for when they hit those larger gambling dens!

Thanks for these :)

[edit] You've inspired me to see how these could be translated into powercards.

Good idea, you have conditionals with power cards and can let them know they are a winner.

I'm currently using this for my monster initiative macro:

/w gm  &{template:5eDefault} {{character_name=@{selected|character_name}} @{selected|show_character_name} {{title=Initiative}} {{subheader=Determines the turn order}} {{rollname=Result}} {{roll=[[1d20 + @{selected|dexterity_mod} + (@{selected|initiative}) + [[1d20*.03]] &{tracker}]]}}}

It only works on a single target.  is there a way to make it so I can select multiple monsters and execute the macro once?

To do that you need the API. Check out the groupinit script from here 

For Pathfinder users (we are still here! :) ) I updated Morbidsoul's macro so that it checks whether a skill that requires training has ranks. If it does not have any ranks, it forces the result to zero. It does this by multiplying the skill (roll plus mod) by {1,@{skill-ranks}}kl1 which is the lower of 1 or the ranks, so that it either multiplies by 1 or 0. When you hover over I collapsed the calculations so you only see the roll, the 0 or 1 multiplier, and the modifier:



The key was replacing the brackets and commas with the html &# codes. Thanks to Ed S. above, I could not figure it out until I read about also replacing the commas, that was the trick.

Why did I do this? Because I didn't want more than one macro. This way I can use one for all players and not worry. The only thing I can't do is use the dropdown to pick a skill and have each player roll separately by calling all the macros. Trying to use the dropdown and pass the name of the skill to each doesn't work, since it actually passes the value which is the roll and modifiers. (I also tried a dropdown where the names and values were merely the skill names, that also just resulted in the name of the skill being printed). So my "roll all perceptions" macro is still campaign specific.

Here is the macro:

Search and replace & #  with &#  to remove the spaces. the forum keeps parsing it.

@Chris B. Looks great! It's the great community here that makes all the difference. Thanks for sharing!

Great addition to a great macro for all PF's  Going to update the wiki with this.  Thanks Chris

Awesome Chris! Copying this and updating the code in my own game with yours. Great idea.

The only thing I can't do is use the dropdown to pick a skill and have each player roll separately by calling all the macros. It uses the first (or last, I forget) player's roll and modifiers. So my "roll all perceptions" and "roll all Will saves" macros are still pretty campaign specific.

Chris, I'm very excited to see this development on te macro.  However, I've copied & pasted this one and I'm running into a glitch.  The drop down won't show anything past Disable Device, and using the macro results in a LONG block of code instead of a chosen roll.  I cannot see what's causing the code to stop at that point.  Anyone have any ideas?

@Joshua F, the macro was updated and Chris b, gave some special instructions. Check the bolded statement above.

@Ed S. Ok.  Thank you for the correction.  Kinda wish I'd refreshed the page before typing.  

Yeah sorry, it took me awhile to figure out how to paste in the codes. :) Had to go back and see how someone else did it. Though as someone pointed out there are traits that let you use a skill untrained, if a player has that then the macro still has to be changed anyway.
