First time poster, first time Roll20 GM so please excuse the lack of correct terminology.
I'm using the following 5e character sheet, specifically to create a monster template. What I am trying to do is create a macro that presents the GM with monster attack options. For instance, let's say my monster has 3 attack options. 2 of them can be used as part of a multi-attack action. The other is a standalone action. Instead of having three macro buttons, one for each attack option, I want one with two options: option A, multi-attack (which would roll the corresponding two attacks) and option B (which in turn rolls the appropriate attack). I've already set up the attacks through the character sheet but I suspect the problem is the nested pipe "|" symbols. I tried to escape them by using the appropriate HTML entity but that ends up throwing another error. I scoured the internet for hours but none of my examples showed nested pipe symbols. I even tried creating variables to hold the attack rolls and leverage them from within the query line but but alas I am defeated. Hoping you guys can chime in with some working code.
