how to roll initiative for all tokens at once.

ok so i completely forgot how to do it. i remember that you select all the tokens you want on the initiative then there is a key command you can use to roll all their initiative. for those who dont know what i mean by key command. example. ctr+w closes the tab. ctr+c copies selected text.  anyway. if anyone remembers what the key command is for this. please tell me.

It is ctrl + u, when you open up the Turn order window it tells you.  ^.^  (In case you forget!)

That adds a turn on the tracker, but doesn't roll initiative. To roll initiative for multiple tokens requires an API script like Group-init. For individual tokens you can use a macro like: /roll 1d20 + @{selected|initiative_bonus} &{tracker} ...if you are using the OGL sheet by Roll20. Other sheets will use different mods. Here is a built-in macro that rolls for NPCs, using the regular roll template: %{selected|npc_init} for PCs, use this: @{selected|wtype}&{template:simple} {{rname=^{init-u}}} {{mod=@{selected|initiative_bonus}}} {{r1=[[@{selected|initiative_style}+@{selected|initiative_bonus}@{selected|pbd_safe}[INIT] &{tracker}]]}} {{normal=1}} @{selected|charname_output} The NPC one seems to work for PCs, but I wouldn't trust it not to miss anything (such as a global init bonus).
Thank you for clarifying that, I've been trying to figure out what "I" broke.  *face palm*

I've used Group Init for so long, I wasn't even aware there was an "add turn" shortcut. That could be useful in some circumstances.

Amazing how much I would consider myself a power user and yet never used/known about this! API makes us complacent! Repent, repent... On the other hand, this will come in VERY handy in my IRL game, thanks :) Steven R. said: It is ctrl + u, when you open up the Turn order window it tells you.  ^.^  (In case you forget!)
