I need help with making a variable macro

I wish to make a macro and don't know how to write/ implement it. I want the macro to have the following effect: [spellname] /roll 1d8 + [additional effect name] roll 1d20 if >4 roll 1d4 if <17 roll 1d6 I'm really new to this and apologize if the question seems redundant or bothers anyone but I googled how to do macros for roll 20 but can't figure out how to make the type of macro I want to work. Please help anyone.

Unfortunately this is beyond the ability of the base roll20 dice roller. If you (or the creator of your game) had a pro subscription, you could use the recursive tables script to do this via some nested rollable tables.

That's unfortunate :( well I guess I'll just have to do the rolls manually then and maybe I'll look into getting a pro sub seeing as I am quite active in my friend's current campaign also thank you for answering, I really appreciate your help :D

I should have been more clear, the script requires that the creator of the game have the pro subscription. If you are just a player, you won't get much benefit from being a pro subscriber (plus could still give you some benefit)

roll 1d20 if >4 roll 1d4 if <17 roll 1d6 Did you mean: if the d20 roll is less than four, roll 1d4; otherwise, roll 1d6? If so, you can accomplish that using this macro: /r 1d[[4 + 2 * 1d20>4]]

Nice Silvyre.

If so, you can accomplish that using this macro: /r 1d[[4 + 2 * 1d20>4]] No, I meant if the roll is equal to or less than 4 roll 1d4 or is equal to or greater than 17 then roll 1d6

so what is the output if the roll is a 5-16? I have accomplished something similar to this by creating 2 macros, the first is the roll, then the second prompts for the value of the first roll to output 2nd roll value.

You could create a Rollable Table for this. Otherwise, try one of these macros: /r 1d[[ abs(ceil(ceil(1d20>17f<4 * 4.1) * 1.1)) ]] Additional damage: [[ 1d[[abs(-4 + {5,5,5,5,17,17,17,17,17,17}<[[1d20]])]] ]]

Thanks very much this actually works the way I needed it to, I tip my hat off to you sir! :D
