Add/Query Global Damage Modifier from a Macro

I'm still working out how macros and such work but I was wondering if there was a way to add a damage/attack roll modifier from the character sheet onto a single attack instead of clicking through the character sheet, rolling the attack, then clicking it off.

Sorry if that sounds a bit muddled, I've been stressing a bit about this. I'm using 5th edition D&D and I'm playing a sorcerer.

At a certain level, this sorcerer gets a trait to add a modifier to a type of elemental damage. If I set up a macro to cast a spell that does that type of damage, is there a way to call the "global damage modifier" from my character sheet and apply it to that macro?

I don't know if that's the best way of doing it but I'm hoping to find something that's not a lot of hassle without just adding an extra damage type on the spellcard itself.

You've got a couple of options. Probably best for the Sorcerer ability is to manually add it to your Fire spells (or whatever element you picked), either in the Damage 2 field of the spell, or as a query. Generally the only time you won't be using it is if you've quickened a spell, or a multi-ray spell like Scorching Ray, so I would set the default to Yes.

Using fireball as an example, I would either put this in the Damage field:

8d6 ?{Use Elemental Affinity?|Yes,+ @{bob|charisma_mod}[AFFINITY]|No,}

or this in the Damage 2 field:

@{bob|charisma_mod}[AFFINITY]

then repeat the process for each Fire spell. That way you don't have to deal with it for every spell, as you would with a global mod.

I'd probably go with the first option as it adds the damage together and leaves Damage 2 field free for other things you might like to add in, but it depends on how you feel about the query popping up each time.

That worked perfectly, thank you =]
