Forgive me if this has been posted already, but I was wondering if there is some way to write a macro so that it's available to all characters but changes depending on who calls it. The most obvious example I can think of is an initiative roll for D&D 3.0/3.5. The macro could be called Init and rolls 1d20 and adds an initiative bonus (attribute or skill) which could be different for each character. If Player A calls #Init, it's 1d20 + 3; if Player B calls #Init, it's 1d20 + 5; etc. That's the simplistic view. I'm working on an Outbreak: Undead campaign and trying to figure out an easy way for the players to roll a Ranged Attack. In this game, you have to kill the zombie, as wounding one just won't stop it. To do this, you have to determine your Zombie Kill Percentage (ZK%), which is equal to Ranged Attack (attribute?) + Skills + Lethality (based on weapon). To make things more difficult, each weapon has a Short, Medium, and Long range Lethality. Now, imagine that a character owns a pistol and a shotgun. On top of that, the games skills aren't always universally applied - the Marksman skill only comes into play if the character hasn't moved that turn. What's the best way to create a macro that Player A or Player B can click on or incorporate into his character journal to quickly roll and compare against the ZK% with a particular weapon/range? I'm not opposed to upgrading to the Mentor level to get access to the API's to do this. I was planning on doing it, anyways. While we're on that, the game also has a mechanic of degrees of success/failure - 1 degree of success/failure for each 10 points the roll is below/above the target number.
