IF and Then statements for Macros

If and Then Statements would be extremely useful for Macros. It would allow that if something happens for example a roll is over a certain amount for something else to happen. For example I could use an simple attack roll. Normally for my npcs I might use this macro: /gmroll 1d20 /gmroll 1d6 This is fine but what if my attack roll wasn't high enough to actually hit, the 1d6 wasn't a necessary roll and just clogs up my chat space. But with the combination of IF/THEN statements and variables this could easily be avoided. See this as a possible example IF '/gmroll 1d20>AC|15}' THEN '/gmroll 1d6' So in this example the user would use the macro and would receive a prompt to enter the AC then if the d20 roll was higher then the target it would roll 1d6.

IF/ELSE logic most likely will not be added to the base macro's. You'll need to become a mentor to access that kind of scripting.

You can use a combination of /w GM and inline rolls to clean up your chat. Example: /w GM Attack: [[1d20]] Damage [[1d6]]

As a mentor and GM of a couple campaigns - I would love to see this. The macros are pretty powerful as is and I use and abuse them, but this would just be icing on the cake.
