Title of Macros in Chat

First up, congrats with the Rugged Reroll! Performance has never been better, and the new macro shortcuts are gonna be oh so useful. With this new macro-token interaction, can we have a bit of an update on the chat in the future? The only way to properly "title" dicerolls so things stay neat and clear (the /em technique) now faces a small problem. When you roll the dice of another character, often your name will appear instead of the token's. I know I can select the character in the list below, but that sort of devalues the character-macro relationship. Maybe it's just obsessive compulsive disorder, but I would like a better way to title a dice roll or a macro in the chat, so we can easily look up what got rolled. (Ignore the smaller font size) I know it's pretty much a non-issue, but it would make the chat log look a LOT cleaner. Currently, if one simply adds a line of text to the macro, it gets lost in midst of all the rolls and more often than not, the thin dark-blue line meant to emphasize who/what character is rolling, splits the roll and the text apart, making everything look disjointed. I hope this will get recognized and if I missed a very obvious, alternate way of titling, apologies. Cheers in advance!

Assuming I understood correctly: you can select the name you want via a couple of different methods. /emas @{target|token_name} /emas @{selected|token_name} /as @{target|token_name} /as @{selected|token_name} Now, this wont change the rolling but it will change your emotes or as statements. If you want to include your dice rolls in that you can use inline rolls. Example: Input: /emas @{target|token_name} swings his mighty greatsword and rolls a [[ 1d20+5 ]]! Output: Killer McKillington swings his mighty greatsword and rolls a 17!

If anything, I'd like the chat to get a cleaner look. The only way to divide rolls is emoting, which makes for a very messy way of doing things. One way to do this would be to just perhaps add the name of the macro clicked in the chat message and have a proper dividing space (See Axe of Greyskull mockup). Also, I believe /emas and /as are restricted to just GM's. I wonder why?
