Help with a really basic 5e Attack role macro

Really simply, I'd like to make a macro that rolls 1d20+proficiency+dexmod I've done research and found the call @{pb} and @{dexterity_mod} but these don't work in a macro and always return. "TypeError: Cannot read property 'substring' of undefined" in the chat

I've also tried [[@{pb}]] in chat the same way you can do [[1d20]] in chat to execute the macro but that doesn't work either, what am I missing?

The are two different methods of automating chat rolls: Macros, and Abilities. Abilities are on a character sheet, in the Attributes and Abilities tab. You should be able to make your macro work from there with /roll 1d20+@{pb}+@{dexterity_mod} Macros are different. They are in the right sidebar of roll20, and since they aren't connected to a character, you have to supply a character name for them to work. If your character is called Frodo, you would do this /roll 1d20+@{Frodo|pb}+@{Frodo|dexterity_mod} you can also use selected  in place of a character name, and then if you have a token selected it will use the character's stats linked to that token. /roll 1d20+@{selected|pb}+@{selected|dexterity_mod} Does this solve your problem or do you still need help? I think if these aren't working,  there's something wrong with your attributes. You need to check they contain numbers.

This works beautifully, I thought if i had a token selected and tried to call @{pb} it would work, but including the specific character in the macro makes so much more sense.Thank you so much!

You're welcome :)

I'm not familiar with the sheet you're using, but I'm sure there is an attribute that contains your level. It might just be @{level}.
