Macro for adding hit dice

Hey everyone, I'm trying to make a script that: -Checks if you're above level 9, and returns 1 for the number of hit dice. -For every 4th level after 9, it returns one more hit dice, so 2 for 13, etc. Right now, using the conditional statements section from the wiki, I have this: [[(ceil((level+1)/4)-1) + round((3)/(10*((level+1)-21+.1)))]] But I don't have any way to test it atm. Would something like this work, or am I on the wrong track? Thanks

I don't know about that exact function, but here's the one I would use: Number of hit dice: [[ (ceil((@{level} - 4 ) / 4) - 1) * {@{level} + d0}>9 ]] As you currently have, [[ (ceil((@{level} + 1) / 4) - 1) ]] counts the number of times @{level} has increased by 4, starting at 0th level. This is close to what we want, but not quite. Subtracting 5 from (@{level} + 1) starts this count at 5th level (such that it equals 1 at 9th level, etc.) [[ {@{level} + d0}>9 ]] equals 1 if @{level} ≥ 9. Otherwise, it equals 0. Multiplying by this is probably the easiest/most convenient way of setting the output to 0 if the minimum level (9) is not met. I realized just now that ceil((@{level} - 4) / 4) - 1 already equals 0 when 5 ≤ @{level} ≤ 8, and equals -1 when @{level} < 5. So, we could alternatively use a Keep / Drop function to restrict the output: [[ {(ceil((@{level} - 4) / 4), 0}kh1 ]]

[[floor((@{level}-1)/4)-1]]

Thanks for the help! I feel a little bad asking for more, but it turns out the criteria I gave were wrong. My friend actually needs it to start at 6 if they're below level 9, and increase by 2 instead of 1 for every 4 levels.

Is it 8 at level 9? If so, how about this? [[ 6 + (ceil((@{level} - 4) / 4) - 1) * 2 * {@{level} + d0}>9 ]]

I think he's saying it's 6 at level 9, 8 at 13. So I guess I'd just change that 6 to a 4? Really appreciate the help
