DND 5e Adding Proficiency Query and Modifier query to Ability Score Check macro (Dropdown in Dropdown)

I have a macro that works for querying ability checks, except for character name output.  I often use or allow checks of a stat that is not paired with a usual skill, and I want to add to the end another drop down for a query to see if is a person is proficient or has expertise: +?{Proficient|None, 0|Skilled, [[@{PB}]] |Expertise, [[@{PB}]]*2 } Then I want a text box that is also a query. +?{Additional Modifier|0} I have tried to add it to the r1 line but it is not working.   I think it is because of the { [ ] } wrapping is getting jumbled in my head. My code is as follows: @{selected|wtype}&{template:simple} @{selected|rtype}?{Stat |Strength,+[[@{selected|strength_mod}]][STR] ]]}} {{rname=^{strength-u}}} {{mod=[[ [[@{selected|strength_mod}]][STR] ]]}} {{r1=[[@{selected|d20}+[[@{selected|strength_mod}]][STR] ]] |Dexterity,+[[@{selected|dexterity_mod}]][DEX] ]]}} {{rname=^{dexterity-u}}} {{mod=[[ [[@{selected|dexterity_mod}]][DEX] ]]}} {{r1=[[@{selected|d20}+[[@{selected|dexterity_mod}]][DEX] ]] |Constitution,+[[@{selected|constitution_mod}]][CON] ]]}} {{rname=^{constitution-u}}} {{mod=[[ [[@{selected|constitution_mod}]][CON] ]]}} {{r1=[[@{selected|d20}+[[@{selected|constitution_mod}]][CON] ]] |Intelligence,+[[@{selected|intelligence_mod}]][INT] ]]}} {{rname=^{intelligence-u}}} {{mod=[[ [[@{selected|intelligence_mod}]][INT] ]]}} {{r1=[[@{selected|d20}+[[@{selected|intelligence_mod}]][INT] ]] |Wisdom,+[[@{selected|wisdom_mod}]][WIS] ]]}} {{rname=^{wisdom-u}}} {{mod=[[ [[@{selected|wisdom_mod}]][WIS] ]]}} {{r1=[[@{selected|d20}+[[@{selected|wisdom_mod}]][WIS] ]] |Charisma,+[[@{selected|charisma_mod}]][CHA] ]]}} {{rname=^{charisma-u}}} {{mod=[[ [[@{selected|charisma_mod}]][CHA] ]]}} {{r1=[[@{selected|d20}+[[@{selected|charisma_mod}]][CHA] ]] }}} @{selected|global_skill_mod} @{selected|charname_output}

It's most likely because of this:&nbsp; <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Macros#Advanced_Usage_for_Roll_Queries" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Macros#Advanced_Usage_for_Roll_Queries</a> When nesting macros, any } will be interpreted as the end of the query, causing issues, requiring you to replace the nested } characters with the html substitution. The same occurs with commas and pipes "|".&nbsp;

Thanks GiGis.&nbsp; I was wondering about that.&nbsp; &nbsp;I tried to fix it with those but got no closer to a solution.&nbsp; In fact, it stopped working altogether. I was trying to add it to each of the dropdown ability scores, like this Strength example: |Strength,+[[@{selected|strength_mod}]][STR] ]]}} {{rname=^{strength-u}}} {{mod=[[ [[@{selected|strength_mod}]][STR] ]]}} {{r1=[[@{selected|d20}+[[@{selected|strength_mod} +?{Proficient|None, 0|Skilled, [[@{PB}]] |Expertise, [[@{PB}]]*2 &amp;#125 +?{Additional Modifier|0 &amp;#125 ]][STR] ]] Can you steer me in the right direction to getting this to work?

I prefer to avoid using nested macros where roll templates are concerned, I use Chat Menus because they are much simpler (no html nonsense to deal with). But as a clue, on this line |Strength,+[[@{selected|strength_mod}]][STR] ]]}} {{rname=^{strength-u}}} {{mod=[[ [[@{selected|strength_mod}]][STR] ]]}} {{r1=[[@{selected|d20}+[[@{selected|strength_mod}]][STR] ]] i see a LOT of characters that would need to be altered. After the comma, every } character would need to be changed with its entity, except for ones at the end of&nbsp;@{selected|d20} and&nbsp;@{selected|strength_mod}. I dont know if the one at the end of&nbsp;^{strength-u} needs changing.&nbsp; As a Pro user you might look into a script to generate menus for you, like my Universal Chat Menus , or Scott's Menu Maker . Though if you are making custom macros, they wont be much help.

For your addition,&nbsp; ?{Proficient|None, 0|Skilled, [[@{PB}]] |Expertise, [[@{PB}]]*2&nbsp; &amp;#125 +?{Additional Modifier|0 &amp;#125 ]][STR] ]] if those are inside a row of the first query, you'll also need to change each | (not inside stat calls) and commas. And some of them you might have to nest twice (see the last section from the wiki i linked). This gets extremely complex.

So, I went right back to the wiki, and came up with a script that works, no character mismatch errors, and does everything mechanically i want [[?{Ability Check?|Strength, @{selected|strength_mod}|Dexterity, @{selected|dexterity_mod}|Constitution, @{selected|constitution_mod}|Intelligence, @{selected|intelligence_mod}|Wisdom, @{selected|wisdom_mod}|Charisma, 1@{selected|charisma_mod}} + ?{Advantage?|None, 1d20|Advantage, 2d20kh1|Disadvantage, 2d20kl1} + ?{Proficiency?|None, 0|Skilled, @{selected|pb}|Expertise, @{selected|pb} + @{selected|pb}} + ?{Additional Modifier?|0}&nbsp; ]]

Thats great. Always try to avoid nesting, if you can. It's a minefield :)
