The character sheet initiative macro adds in decimal numbers

Hi, whenever I click on a monster's initiative button, it gives me a whole number but with two decimal numbers.  Example,  roll result of 14.16

The intent is to indicate a difference in initiative bonuses, as the decimal, to break ties. For example, two characters roll initiative and both get a 10 P1 has an initiative bonus of 4, which is represented by adding 0.04 to that, for a result of 10.04. P2 has an initiative bonus of 6, which is represented by adding 0.06 to that, for a result of 10.06. The higher bonus will appear first in the turn order, a common rule in most games. How you're getting a 2.14, I'm unsure.

The decimal added is equal to 1/100th of the character's Dexterity score, not their dexterity bonus. The "12.14" represents an initiative roll made by a character with a dexterity of 14. This setting can be toggled individually by character sheet, or campaign-wide on the Campaign Settings page. It will only affect new tokens, unless you go to the Settings tab and click the Apply Default Settings button at the bottom under Experimental Features, and choose the option there.

I think it adds dex total, so a 15 beats a 14, even though they have the same bonus. So an 8 dex has a result of, for example, 10.08. Edit: or what Keith said

Ok, I changed the setting, but I guess it won't fix all of the Monster Manual and Tome of Beats monsters.  I appreciate the assistance!

If you change the campaign settings page, and reload the campaign, it should catch new compendium drops. At least it did on my test.

I'll summon a mod to close this thread, then, and mark it resolved. Don't hesitate to open a new one if you run into further difficulties.
