Simple macro / scripts for new players - 5E

Preface:  I need a simple 5E character sheet agnostic script that will neatly: Show the weapon name, and range (if applicable) - Roll two attacks, 2d20 - roll damage - add critical damage if applicable - roll sneak attack damage based on a rogue level (I can rename the variable etc)  something like rogue_level/2 I got something already together, but I just don't like it.  Examples, links to urls all are helpful.  Thank you!
All of the 5e character sheets can already accomplish this through various means, so I'm not sure that a catch-all macro is necessary. For example the OGL character sheet simply requires you to set up the attack as normal and add sneak attack to the damage field. I imagine the Shaped and Community sheets can handle it similarly.

The Shaped sheet does this as well. There are instructions on how to make the Sneak Attack feature a clickable item on every attack result, though you could just have it roll by default.
Ok, I have no clue what character sheet I have.&nbsp; The DM gave it to me and I filled it out.&nbsp; Some of the stuff is canned already, for sure - just not quite how I want it.&nbsp; &nbsp; Something like this, but man, simpler if possible?&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/6660479/sneak-attack-macro-crit-help" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/6660479/sneak-attack-macro-crit-help</a>
Hi Trip, It's likely that your sheet can already do all those things. Does it look anything like the one here?&nbsp; <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/5th_Edition_OGL_by_Roll20" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/5th_Edition_OGL_by_Roll20</a> If so... you're in luck. Almost every roll you need to make can be done by just clicking on words within the sheet. No special macros needed.

Also, any macro your sheet sends to the chat can be recovered and used as a button. After running the macro, click in the chat input area and press the up arrow button. That will display the code. Copy that, open the Attributes and abilities tab on your sheet and create a new ability. Paste the code in there, save it and click the "token macro" option. You will have a button for that feature appear whenever you select your token.
You can also simply DRAG AND DROP buttons from your 5e OLG character sheet, directly to your macro bar. - The text may come out as gibberish, so you may wish to rename it to something more helpful.
