Nesting attributes

I want to be able to use @{weapon-?{weapon|longsword, 1|longbow, 2|}-attack} such that I can use one button to use either weapon 1 or weapon 2, but the system panics when it reaches the query. Basically I want to end up with a dropdown so i can choose between the @{weapon-1-attack} and the @{weapon-2-attack} attributes.

Attributes/abilities are expanded before queries, you can do what you want, you just need to wrap the attribute calls in the query instead of the query in the attribute call. Make sure to read up on advanced roll query usage as you may have problem characters in there. <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Macros#Advanced_Usage_for_Roll_Queries" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Macros#Advanced_Usage_for_Roll_Queries</a> <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Dice_Reference#Order_of_Operations" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Dice_Reference#Order_of_Operations</a>

All right I fiddled a bunch and now i have this, which is very close to what i want, but i have to answer the weapon query twice instead of once (once for damage once for attack role) &{template:dnd4epower} {{atwill=1 }} {{emote=**@{character_name}** swings his weapon. }} {{name=Basic Attack }} {{level=Character Attack 1 }} {{type=At-Will ♦}} {{keywords=Weapon}} {{action=Standard Action♦}} {{range=Melee OR 15/30 }} {{target=one creature }} {{attack= ?{weapon-attack|Longsword, [[1d20+@{strength-mod-level}+@{weapon-5-attack}]]|shortbow, [[1d20+@{dexterity-mod-level}+@{weapon-6-attack}]] } vs AC}} {{**Damage**= ?{weapon-damage|longsword, [[@{weapon-5-num-dice}d@{weapon-5-dice}+@{weapon-5-damage}+@{strength-mod}]]| shortbow, [[@{weapon-6-num-dice}d@{weapon-6-dice}+@{Weapon-6-damage}+@{dexterity-mod}]]} Weapon damage}}

An&nbsp; Advanced Roll Query can combine those two Queries: &amp;{template:dnd4epower} {{name=Basic Attack }} {{emote=**@{character_name}** swings his weapon. }} {{level=Character Attack 1 }} {{atwill=1 }} {{type=At-Will ♦ }} {{keywords=Weapon }} {{action=Standard Action♦ }} {{range=Melee OR 15/30 }} {{target=one creature }} {{attack= [[ 1d20 + ?{Weapon| &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; @{weapon-5-name}, @{strength-mod-level} + @{weapon-5-attack} ]] vs AC &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &amp;#125;&amp;#125; {{**Damage**=[[ @{weapon-5-num-dice}d@{weapon-5-dice} + @{weapon-5-damage} + @{dexterity-mod} | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; @{weapon-6-name}, @{dexterity-mod-level} + @{weapon-6-attack} ]] vs AC &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &amp;#125;&amp;#125; {{**Damage**= [[ @{weapon-6-num-dice}d@{weapon-6-dice} + @{weapon-6-damage} + @{dexterity-mod} &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; } + ?{Modifiers|0} ]] }}

Edit: Actually I've narrowed it down a step further, %{Wren|Chain-Trip} works just fine %{Wren& #124Chain-Trip} does not work at all :( (the space between & # was just to be able to get it in this text box)

You don't replace characters in an attribute or ability call, you need to replace those characters in the actual abilities you are calling. see the order of operations wiki I linked to above; roll queries are resolved after attributes/abilities have been expanded to their values.
