Stuff I can't figure out CAN'T figure out on my own

Err Stuff I cant figure out So this stuff builds - I appreciate the time you guys take to answer questions I know how to create a "Dice Box" that appears in chat that you can click a button and it rolls the die - but how do I take that knowledge and turn it into a box that allows me to roll Skills Checks - I guess add Text and have it roll like a D20 and Access the Skill from the attributes. Note: I am not accessing a Character sheet but only accessing the Attributes section of a sheet Here is what I am using for the Dice box Macro: &{template:default}{{name=Dice Box}}{{Dice=[D3](! #D3)[D4](! #D4)[D6](! #D6)[D8](! #D8)[D10](! #D10)[D12](! #D12)[D20](! #D20)[D100](! #D100)[2D4](! #2D4)[2D6](! #2D6) [D??](! #D??)}}

Your dice roller menu is an example of using&nbsp; API Command Buttons (contrary to the name, you do not actually need to have access to API scripts to use this trick ) to execute macros directly from chat.&nbsp; Be careful with those since you must escape/substitute for the special characters and if you ever need to open/edit the macro roll20 will convert the special characters and break your macro(info in the link above). Make sure to keep copies of these types of macros outside of roll20 in case you ever need to copy them back into roll20. So depending on your needs, you can use API command buttons to create a menu of choices in chat.&nbsp; You can create your individual macros, then make a menu that includes those macro's according to their macro's name.&nbsp; More info: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5899495/stupid-r" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5899495/stupid-r</a>... example: #Perception &{template:default}{{name=Perception}}{{check=[[1d20+@{selected|Perception}]]}} #Skills &{template:default}{{name=Skill checks}}{{=[Perception](!&amp;#13;#Perception)}} Since you are not using a sheet, you may need to make LOT'S of macros.&nbsp; How many skill, attack, spell, etc. macros do you want to make?&nbsp; One of the advantages to using a sheet is that most of this work is already done by the sheet author and you merely include sheet rolled macros by their name.&nbsp;
