Macro for Two Weapon Attack

Is there a way to adjust the following macro to use it for a two weapon combo attack, making a single roll, separately adding the OB for each weapon, and giving the two results separately instead of adding both OBs and giving one result?  It's probably very simple, but I can't seem to figure it out.  Thank you!   /me swings both blades at ?{Who are you attacking?|The nearest enemy}! Rolling... [[d100!>96 + @{Selected|Broad Sword OB} + @{Selected|Dagger OB}]]

Hi John, do both attacks succeed/fail based on a single roll or do you need to roll for each attack separately? If it is a single roll then this complicates things without using an API script as you can't reuse the result from a die roll using the basic macro system. As a pro subscriber however (assuming the game was created by someone of equal account permissions) you'd likely be able to do that with a script like powercards... Also it might help the community offer more ideas/solutions if you told us what system this mechanic is for?
Thank you so much for your input.  The system is Middle Earth Role Playing from Iron Crown Enterprises (from the 80's & 90's).  I've been trying to help with it's revival in the RPG Community.  The original idea was to use one roll, because I had one or two other GMs tell me they only allow one, but after not being able to figure out how to macro it, I posted a request for feedback from all of the GMs in my Facebook group, Guardians of Middle Earth, and I have found that most of them, like myself, allow two rolls.  So now I won't even need to try to wrestle that alligator anymore.  I almost forgot I asked for help with the macro.  I'm an old bear with the technological skill of an empty picnic basket.  I really appreciate your reply.  Nice to know there is help available if I need it again.

No problem at all, Roll20 is designed to be system agnostic and caters to the majority of systems (some are a bit more complicated and require extra help from API scripts). The site also has a huge selection of community contributed character sheets which can really speed up play with some basic automation and those with the know-how are usually happy to help throw a sheet together for use which can really help boost the playability of a system. Might be worth asking in  this thread to see if anyone fancies making one for use?
Thank, you.  I usually hate to bother people for help.  I tried to set up a MERP Character Sheet last year, but I have no coding experience and was trying to learn some coding last year so I could do that, but I ran into a brick wall before I even got very far, so now I'm trying to at least have Macros for as much as possible to make it easier for the players.  Maybe one of these days I will get back to trying to learn coding and since I am so familiar with the MERP system, I might be able to tackle it.  But I am, after all, a very old dog.  Really hard to learn new tricks at my age.  Thanks again for your assistance.
