Hi, I need to create a macro that allows me to sum only double dice. Example /roll 2d20  --> 5 and 7 --> no sum /roll 2d20 --> 10 and 10 --> sum can you help me? thanks!

Sounds doable. But what should the macro output if the two rolls are not equal? The larger one?

Yes! For now I use this macro: /me [[?{D20|0}d20kh1+?{QP|0}+?{AM|0}]] I would like to integrate the possibility to sum only double dice.

Impossible without the API. Aaron has written some scripts for similar situations, but there's no way without a pro sub.

Thanks, If I passed a pro ... how should I set the API that I need? ...and second question. how can I improve the existing macro?  /me [[?{D20|0}d20kh1+?{QP|0}+?{AM|0}]] My goal is: - Roll 1 or more D20 and take the high. - Add the Primary Quality (QP) - Add the Enhanced Action (AM) 2 dice -> +4 3 dice -> +6 4 dice -> +8 5 dice -> +10 etc

Regarding the API, you'd make a post in the API forum describing the game you are playing and it's various mechanics and ask for someone to automate it for you with a script.  You'd give some details on what the interface should be like and then hope that someone would write it for you.  (and in all likelihood, that would be me...).

ok... thanks. I'll talk to my players and we will evaluate the possibility to upgrade to pro.
