/w gm &{template:default} {{name=Open Locks: [[@{openlocks} or less}} {{[[1d100]]}} is the macro. Now what I want to do is add @{DEXbonus)*5 to the @{openlocks}. For the life of me I can not remember the additional bit used to group @{DEXbonus}*5 together so I can add it to @{openlocks}

Would [[ @{openlocks} + @{DEXbonus} * 5 ]] work? If @{DEXbonus} is a sum, e.g. floor(@{dex}/2) - 5, you'd want to surround @{DEXbonus} in parentheses, i.e. (@{DEXbonus}) * 5

I thought so to but I need only the dexbonus affected by the *5 and not the whole string. I've forgotten how to group stuff together and couldn't find it in the wiki.

Within [[ @{openlocks} + @{DEXbonus} * 5 ]] (i.e. [[ @{openlocks} + 5 * @{DEXbonus} ]]), 5 will only multiply @{DEXbonus}. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations</a>
