[PF] New to macros, Pathfinder system trying and failing.

As stated I'm new to macros, my head us swimming and I have little to no programming/macro knowledge. I am willing to attempt to learn, but the pages I have read have not been muche help. I am using the pathfinder sheet and I am attempting to add a line to specific skill rolls to add a designated note at the end of the roll to state either the information from a specific feat listed in the feats section of the sheet or to make a note of the +'s for select misc bonuses. example: survival roll but adds the notes for favored terrain and book.  is this possible and/or where can I find info on attempting to make this work? thanks, carto

Hi Jeffrey, The  pathfinder sheet wiki is a great resource (although I believe it is a little behind the live version). The current  Pathfinder sheet thread is also a great resource, and one of the best way to get in contact with Vince, Chris, and the rest of the creators. There isn't a field on the sheet to easily do what you want to do, but you can use the fact that the Pathfinder sheet exposes all of it's macro code for editing by the user. You can find the macro code for each skill roll to the far right of all the skill details: The macro code that is in that text field by default is: @{PC-whisper} &{template:pf_generic} @{toggle_accessible_flag} @{toggle_rounded_flag} {{color=@{rolltemplate_color}}} {{header_image=@{header_image-pf_generic-skill}}} {{character_name=@{character_name}}} {{character_id=@{character_id}}} {{subtitle}} {{name=Survival}} {{Check=[[ @{skill-query} + [[ @{Survival} ]] ]]}} @{Survival-ut} @{skill_options} @{Survival-ut}'s value is {{untrained=}} @{skill_options} pulls the global skill description (at the very bottom of the skills page) in and wraps it in {{description=...}} for use in the roll template description field So, there are two ways to do this, if you don't need the global skill description you can simply remove @{skill_options} from your macro fields and replace it with {{description=WHATEVER YOU WANT TO SHOW IN THE DESCRIPTION FIELD AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ROLL TEMPLATE}} Alternatively, if you do have global skill notes you want to have output, you can put {{=WHATEVER YOUR NOTES ARE}} at the end of the macro like so: @{PC-whisper} &{template:pf_generic} @{toggle_accessible_flag} @{toggle_rounded_flag} {{color=@{rolltemplate_color}}} {{header_image=@{header_image-pf_generic-skill}}} {{character_name=@{character_name}}} {{character_id=@{character_id}}} {{subtitle}} {{name=Survival}} {{Check=[[ @{skill-query} + [[ @{Survival} ]] ]]}} @{Survival-ut} @{skill_options} {{=WHATEVER YOUR NOTES ARE}} Giving this as output: You can also tag your notes with lefttext_X where X is a number 1-10 but this will always put this text right beneath the black backgrounded header, and above the roll. Happy Rolling, Scott
