Whats wrong with my Initiative Macro?

This is what my current Macro is doing This is what I'm trying to do with it What am I missing/doing wrong? &{template:npc} {{normal=1}} {{name=@{selected|token_name}}} {{rname=Initiative}} {{r1=[[1d20+@selected|npc_dexterity_mod}&{tracker}]]}}

It looks like the problem is that there is no roll template on the DnD5e by Roll20 sheet that is named {template:npc}. Try this: &{template:npcaction} {{normal=1}} {{name=@{selected|token_name}}} {{rname=Initiative}} {{description=Initiative: [[1d20+@selected|npc_dexterity_mod}&{tracker}]]}}

Thank you so much! I was up for hours last night trying to wrap my head around it. Where can I see what all the &{template:}'s are?

Hi Adaptable Walnut, Here is documentation on the Sheet , and the page dedicated to its Roll Templates .

Thanks for the help! Is there any way to put multiple lines of descriptions? Eg. if I wanted to make a macro that rolled all the saves would I do  {{description=Str}} {{description=Dex}}?

You cannot use the tag twice, but you can have multiple paragraphs within the tag: {{description=Str Dex Whatever else you want}}{{some other tag=Other stuff}} You just can't put a return between tags: {{description=Str}} {{some other tag=Other stuff}}

Okay, thanks for the reply. To my understanding then I can't really make 1 macro with all the saving throws with advantage on the NPC template, i'd have to use the default template to do so?

You could do this: &{template:npcaction} {{normal=1}} {{name=@{selected|token_name}}} {{rname=Saving throws}} {{description=Dex: [[Dex save formula goes here]] Str: [[Str save formula goes here]] ...}} for the saving throws, if you need advantage, just roll twice and use the kh1 nomenclature: {roll1,roll2}kh1

You could also do  {{Str description=stuff goes here}} {{Dex description=stuff goes here}} or even {{Str=stuff goes here}} {{Dex=stuff goes here}} With the default rolltemplate, you can use anything as the title, you just cant reuse the same title.

You'd need to start with &{template:default} instead of &{template:npcaction}, of course.
