WoD and NWoD Problem

Hi there, I was using the site for a New World of Darkness game and I found a few problems with the Dice Macros. These are the main problems: A) What modifies a roll in this system is always the N in the /roll NdX formula, so Macros without Variables are pretty much useless when it comes to this. I can type "/r 4#Macro" where Macro is "d10!>8" but is not a great solution though. B) I can't sum two Attributes to generate the dice pool for N. In the WoD system Attribute1 + Attribute2 + Modifiers are the N on the NdX formula, whenever I try to use a Macro with @att1+@att2d10!>8 I get a N1 + N2d10!>8 instead of a (N1+N2)d10!>8 no matter if I use {} [] or (). It would be nice to be able to use brackets or something for this =) In an ideal world, a Variable number could be defined on the formula, for instance a #Macro with "/r $d10!>8" can be invoked by typing #Macro$4 and get a /r 4d10!>8... and if this macro is used from a button... a nice pop up with a text field to type the Variable $ ;) All of this together could generate something like: #Macro = "/r (@Att1+@Att2+$)d10!>8" could be invoke typing #Macro$4 obtaining a dice pool of whatever value Att1 has plus, whatever value Att2 has, plus 4. Thanks for reading!!!

We're having the same problem trying to set up L5R macros, so i'm very much in agreement. Being able to use () in standard math fashion alone would be great.

I plan on using this for an oWoD game as well. The dice bag itself looks pretty decent for this set up, though the macros may not work out as desired. I anticipate no macros for a while.

Here is a workaround for A) (single variable): Step 1: In the attributes section of your character sheet label something variable. Step 2: make your macro with the attribute variable in the macro. Example: /r @variable d10!>8 Step 3: Delete the space between 'variable' and 'd'. Save Macro Step 4: Link the character sheet to a token. Step 5: Link one of the token's bars to 'variable'. Now you may change the variable by changing the number on the token bar. Then hit your macro normally. Unfortunately, I have no workaround for summed variables (or summed numbers) that are first in the order of operations (inside parenthesis). - Gauss
