Wild Talents / ORE - API or Template?

Hello sorry if this is the wrong forum, if so please just direct me where I need to go. I am trying to run a Wild Talents game with roll20. I am going to need to upgrade my account which isn't a big deal if the API/Template is what I need to add or get created to make the game run smoothly.  What I currently have is several macros working together in my game to get me back my skill/ability used via the query option and my dice rolls sorted descending. Now I need to add an additional d10 to be rolled separately as part of this. I added another macro which is fine, but the screen space it is taking up is getting a bit out of hand. When you have 4 players then NPCs rolling and you have to keep referencing back to things since everyone rolls at the same time its gets chaotic to keep track of. So here are my questions: 1) Is there a way to edit the default template (or copy and create as new) to have it NOT show a total of the dice as this is just taking up space on the screen for information I don't need. 2) Outside of stringing macros together is a custom API the way I would want to approach this? 3) I am not a programmer but am willing to learn...am I looking at delving into javascript, html and CSS to accomplish all of this? Or is there someone I can talk to about getting this created? Not trying to bribe someone here I am just curious what kind of skill set I am going to be trying to build up. Thanks for your time

Hi!  I'll try to answer these for you. =D 1) As a Pro subscriber, you can create custom character sheets and with them create custom Roll Templates.  Short of individually specifying the dice rolls in something like [[1d10]] [[1d10]] [[1d10]]... I don't believe there is a way with Roll Templates that you could split out the individual rolls to view. Skills: HTML, CSS,  CharacterSheets ,  RollTemplates 2) The API can generate just about any sort of output you can imagine, so is a great choice for custom formatted rolls. 3) The output from the API can be as simple as you like (literally just text) and ramp up to much more complex (HTML and CSS, hover tool tips).  It is programmed in JavaScript within a sandbox (no DOM like traditional browser JavaScript).  You can get a decent amount of work done without being a professional programmer and there are lots of people on the API forum that are happy to help you with learning, debugging or even writing scripts. Skills: Javascript,  API , HTML, CSS
OK so sounds like API is the way to go if I am gonna try to get this up and running. I will start going through that API link you have in there and see where that can get me.  Thanks for the reply, hopefully will be back before too long with some kind of API questions due to progress!!
