I want to do something like this: [[1d20 + ?{Bonus}.?{Bonus}]] &{tracker} It ALMOST works...but it doesn't put the value into the Tracker. It asks me just once for the Init bonus and displays the proper value in the chat window, and that's it. What can I do to now get that value automatically into the Tracker?

Take it one step further: Put in an Attribute called "Initiative"; this is the initiative bonus. Then use this as a Token Action: [[(1d20+@{Initiative}.@{Initiative})&{tracker}]] Player clicks token, player clicks initiative Macro rolls d20, adds initiative bonus, point, bonus again. Result: [17.7] Saves 'em having to enter the bonus manually. -Phnord

That's not a bad idea. It's a bit more set up for each creature on the board, but it would save having to look up that stat and put it into a pop-up each time. Thanks.

Very cool, I like this alot. At first I though a single digit initiative modifier like say 5 would get sorted before a double digit bonus like 12 but all you have to do is set the attribute modifier to 05 instead of just 5, and it works perfectly.

I use this and it works, it does have the players and npcs/monsters all use the 3rd Bar for Init, but that's easily changed. I click the player or monster token and hit the Macro button, boom that token is in the Turn Tracker, very fast and super simple. /w gm @{selected|token_name} [[d20 + @{selected|bar3} &{tracker}]]
