Critical hit roll template [DND 5e, OGL]

Hi there, following up on a topic I posted on Reddit; <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Roll20/comments/8eodbg/critical_hit_roll_template/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/Roll20/comments/8eodbg/critical_hit_roll_template/</a> I had asked: At our table for critical rolls double the initial hit then add all relevant modifiers. Is there a way to alter a weapon's attack template to emulate this by default? Example: •You roll a 20 and your Damage is normally a 1d6+4. •Normally, a Crit would roll that 1d6 again, giving you 2d6+4 •You, instead, want the number you rolled to be doubled, i.e. if you rolled a 3, it would be (3x2)+4, or 10. But was told there was no way to do this, perhaps with access to the API & some voodoo I'm not aware of? Thank you.

Unfortunately reddit is correct. Even with the API this is not perfectly possible. To get this to work, you would need to rewrite the character sheet roll templates to handle this scenario for crits. However something that you could do without making any changes to the character sheet would be to put 2*[[1d6]] in the CRIT field for the attack. Then when a critical hit happens, you would just ignore the first number displayed and use the "crit" damage for the total damage.

Thank you.
