Hi, does anyone know how to describe a random number of d6 between 1 and 8 in a macro please? It's for magical item that does 1d10 +1-to-8 d6 damage. Any help would be appreciated even if it's just to say it's not possible without an API.

This is pretty easy. You can do  ?{Number of Dice?}|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8}d6

Something like this should work  [[1d10+[[1d8]]d6]] you would then just place it inside your macro for the character sheet your using.
