3.5 Max Hit Points

I am having some trouble with a macro. I am trying to pull the maximum Hit Points of a target, but it comes up with the message that no such attribute exists. If I put it as pulling from a selected token it works, just not from a targeted token. So the following works: [[(ceil(@{selected|hitpoints|max}/@{target|hitdie}))*(1d3)]] But this doesn't: [[(ceil(@{target|hitpoints|max}/@{target|hitdie}))*(1d3)]] Can anyone figure out why it works with selected tokens and not targeted tokens?

The syntax of target is slightly different:  @{target | < target_name > | < attribute_name > | < optional_flags > } Your roll should be like: [[(ceil(@{target|foo|hitpoints|max}/@{target|foo|hitdie}))*(1d3)]] More info on the Wiki .

Weird, but thanks

Weird. Target should work the same as selected, when you are only targeting a single token. You only need the token|foo| style syntax when targeting multiple tokens in the same macro. Note the first example of using target in the wiki page linked up (scroll up a bit to see it: @{target|strength}) doesn't use the target_name parameter. Maybe its needed when using the attribute|max syntax? Edit: ah it does say that on the page: Again, the "target" keyword is almost identical in usage to the "selected" keyword as outlined above in the ways it can be employed -   the two primary difference being that it allows players to utilize values from tokens they are not controlling and that the syntax is slightly different for referencing a "max" part of an attribute.
