Cortex Dice Rolling Revisited

Okay in the past I have posted and dug through threads months to years old asking about a Cortex Macro (specifically Marvel Heroic). &nbsp;Some threads include: &nbsp; &nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/67856/slug%7D" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/67856/slug%7D</a> and&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1575/slug%7D" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1575/slug%7D</a>. &nbsp;Luckily I finally found a guy who gave it a shot after Google+ Dice Stream went bye bye. &nbsp;So he created this character sheet which acts like Dice Stream. &nbsp;Now you just put in the number of dice to roll vs typing: /roll1d4 + 3d8 + 1d10 + 1d12. &nbsp;The dice icons display in chat in which the roller can type in chat below that their total for possible success and nominate their effect die. &nbsp;Or 2, drag the dice they want to use and the effect onto the play area. &nbsp;He has some scripting knowledge, I have none but this was his "just a quick" give it a try version. &nbsp;I thought I would post incase anyone had some thoughts from here or would like to make a version of this that could be added to the Wiki so others could just take it and put it to use in their Cortex Games. &nbsp;Incase anyone (like me) is plannning on running Cortex games for Roll20 Con. .

If the number of dice frequently change, it might be easier to use Roll Queries , e.g. /r ?{d4's|0|1|2|3|4|5|6}d4 + ?{d6's|0|1|2|3|4|5|6}d6 + ?{d8's|0|1|2|3|4|5|6}d8 + ?{d10's|0|1|2|3|4|5|6}d10 + ?{d12's|0|1|2|3|4|5|6}d12 There is a also Roll20 Character Sheet for Marvel Heroic Roleplaying, which may have its own roll buttons.

Thanks Silvyre! &nbsp;I will look into this and share it with the Google+ players.

Very brief testing of the suggestions so far comparing what exists to what my friend made. &nbsp;Obviously the existing MHRP character sheet, would have to fill it all in or just skip Bio and Power Sets and go right to attributes to get the rolling. &nbsp;Using the Roll Queries macro was nice as it asks step by step from d4 to d12 how many of each want to roll. &nbsp;But currently liking my friend's design the best because it fits on the screen but more so - you can edit back and forth the dice going to roll. &nbsp;Forgot an asset die? No problem. &nbsp;Or complication die? &nbsp;No problem. &nbsp;Change your mind from rolling a d10 and rather roll 2d8 sfx power? &nbsp;No problem. &nbsp;Then hit roll.

I was able to connect with my friend again and this is the code you put in the 'ability' of a character sheet:&nbsp;/roll [[0+@{d4}]]d4 + [[0+@{d6}]]d6 + [[0+@{d8}]]d8 + [[0+@{d10}]]d10 + [[0+@{d12}]]d12. &nbsp;Then you just make 5 attributes named D4, D6, D8, D10, D12. &nbsp;Now you have something that works similar to dice stream. &nbsp;For us this helps picking out the dice desired to roll and then taking a last look at anything forgotten or overlooked. &nbsp;Then hit roll button.

There is a very smart man from our Google+ group. &nbsp;Since the transfer over to Roll20 and with some free time. &nbsp;He has been working on making Roll20 more user friendly for Cortex System players. &nbsp;This above is fantastic. &nbsp;He is close to recreating Dice Stream in Roll20. &nbsp;And we can now have our character sheets with a mini roller right above them. &nbsp;I no nothing of html or scripting, but thank Odin he does. &nbsp;
