Help with skill marco

I have a 3.5 dnd character. I have alot of skills. I would like to create a single button that will do a pop up to allow me to select the skill and then make the roll. on the sheet every time I do it it output the text I want.  ?{skillcheck?|test,@{Lurch board Swing "Marchand"|knowarcanamacro} |} I select test and it output to the screen the correct marco execute. But doesn't execute it.  Outputs: @{Lurch board Swing "Marchand"|knowarcanamacro} Which is what I want if I manual type it runs the macro and produces the effect I want.

Hi Steven, please see the  advanced roll query section of the wiki for details on this. Briefly, you will need to do a lot of html replacement. I've made a  template Google sheet to help automate the process if that will help. EDIT: What is the text of knowarcanamacro?

&{template:DnD35StdRoll} {{skillflag=true}} {{name=@{character_name} }} {{check=[Knowledge](<a href="http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Knowledge_Skill" rel="nofollow">http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Knowledge_Skill</a> ) (Engineering) check:}} {{checkroll=[[1d20 + [[@{knowengineer}]] ]] }} {{notes=@{knowengineernote} }} Is the text doesn't seem to work with using your templete? do I need to escape something else? DOing similar to mine it producing the text.(though with this it doing to the input dropdown too) Which makes me think something finished correctly.?

hmmm, what gets output to chat? and what are you inputting into the spreadsheet?

<a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17RHWG1Dtf-" rel="nofollow">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17RHWG1Dtf-</a>...

Knowledge (Arcana),&{template:DnD35StdRoll {{skillflag=true}} {{name=Lurch board Swing "Marchand"}} {{check= Knowledge (Engineering) check:}} {{checkroll=12}} {{notes=}} } Note it putting this on the input box as well. And I can't seem to select multiple skills They all get put to the skill if I do multiple.&nbsp;

Hmmm, well, it will only do a drop down if you have multiple possible selections, otherwise everything just gets put into the default input field.

If you want to nest roll queries, you have to escape the html entities which gives you a macro which looks like: ?{Which skill?|Appraise,/w gm &amp;{template:DnD35StdRoll&amp;#125; {{checkroll=[Appraise](<a href="http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Appraise_Skill" rel="nofollow">http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Appraise_Skill</a> ) check: [[1d20 + [[@{appraise}]] ]] &amp;#125;&amp;#125; |Balance,&amp;{template:DnD35StdRoll&amp;#125; {{checkroll=[Balance](<a href="http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Balance_Skill" rel="nofollow">http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Balance_Skill</a> ) check: [[1d20 + [[@{balance}]] ]] &amp;#125;&amp;#125; |Bluff,/w gm &amp;{template:DnD35StdRoll&amp;#125; {{checkroll=[Bluff](<a href="http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Bluff_Skill" rel="nofollow">http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Bluff_Skill</a> ) check: [[1d20 + [[@{bluff}]] ]] &amp;#125;&amp;#125; |Climb,&amp;{template:DnD35StdRoll&amp;#125; {{checkroll=[Climb](<a href="http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Climb_Skill" rel="nofollow">http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Climb_Skill</a> ) check: [[1d20 + [[@{climb}]] ]] &amp;#125;&amp;#125; |Concentration,/w gm &amp;{template:DnD35StdRoll&amp;#125; {{checkroll=[Concentration](<a href="http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Concentration_Skill" rel="nofollow">http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Concentration_Skill</a> ) check: [[1d20 + [[@{concentration}]] ]] &amp;#125;&amp;#125; |Craft (@{craft1name}),&amp;{template:DnD35StdRoll&amp;#125; {{checkroll=[Craft](<a href="http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Craft_Skill" rel="nofollow">http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Craft_Skill</a> ) (@{craft1name}) check: [[1d20 + [[@{craft1}]] +(?{Artisan&amp;#39;s Tools?
