[Script] SkillChallenge - For tracking skill challenges (Works with any d20 sheet)

Skill Challenge Tracks successes and shows random DC for each level. Outputs to a nice box in the chat. Inspired by the table in this blog post &nbsp;-- though the values will be different as this script randomly generates the specific values. This is my first script so comments, feedback, suggestions, &amp; pull requests welcome! * *(Reasonable expectations required.)

Critical-Hit.com -- this was inspired by their table, though this implementation is slightly different &nbsp;All the people who have ansked and answered questions on the Roll20 forums that saved me from pulling my hair out. Changelog v0.1.2 made script whisper to GM only removed unnecessary log statements v0.1.3 Simply the UI Add UI for random challenge Make successes green and failures red. Hide rows for difficulties not in challenge

Nice work! I could be wrong, but I believe Robin Kuiper is a him, not a her.

Oh dear. Changed to gender neutral language just in case.

Suggestion: Although "heroesOfTheRealm" and such are fine, I'd suggest giving the option to figure the category from a numeric input of the level. That would allow users to derive the level programatically. Even tailoring it for a targeted or selected token: !skillchallenge random @{selected|level} moderate Or specific character: !skillchallenge random @{bob the mighty|level} moderate Or a party average: !skillchallenge random [[(@{Fytor|level} + @{Claire Ack|level} + @{Rowag|level} + @{Wheezerd|level})/4]] moderate

Yeah -- I was thinking about doing it based on level -- though I have to put some thought into how to scale it. I guess it could just sort the input into one of the categories to start.&nbsp;

Neat!&nbsp; That Robin does have some amazing ways of handling input, managing state, and setting up listeners. =D

Definitely. =D

Cool script! Is there a way to make it only appear for GM?

Updated! I simplified the UI, added a "Random Challenge" screen and generally made everything clickable, so no chat commands are required.

So if I'm understanding this correctly, if the Skill Challenge is say... climbing a slippery wall, when the players roll Athletics, it records those as successes and failures based on the DC? What if a PC rolls another skill by accident?

What if a PC rolls another skill by accident? There's no automatic tracking of player rolls at this point -- you manually click the "success" or "fail" buttons. The main thing is just that it randomly generates the "difficulty" and then keeps track of successes and fails.
