Help: I got crit hit tables to work automatically, but can’t figure out how to make crit fail tables work automatically.

So running D&D 5e. Using Nord Games Crit hit and fail tables. 5e OGL sheet.

for crit hits I inserted the table roll command, manually into each players attacks, under crit damage. It isn’t glorious, but it works, and my grasp of coding isn’t what it was 18 years ago.

But I can figure out if there is a way to get the crit fail tables to roll automatically on a Nat 1.

is there a way? Can anyone help me? Am I doomed?

remember my coding isn’t great. I’m not an idiot, and can follow instructions if they are clear (I might have to ask for clarification, and I’m willing to use discord to properly follow directions via screen share). Please help.

You won't be able to do this with vanilla macros. In fact, you can't really do the crit success with vanilla macros either - it's the 5e sheet and templates that allow a different output on a crit.

You will need an API script to use custom output on a critical fumble. Customizable Roll Listener might do what you want? Not sure though, I'm merely a scrubby Plus user.

I got the crit hit to work, by using the the crit damage section of the sheet. I simply put the command to roll from the table in manually on each attack the characters have.

Yep, I wasn't saying it doesn't work - I was just saying it only works due to the character sheet's functionality. It would be impossible to do just with macros using a character sheet that does not react to critical success. As the 5e sheet has no special template output for critical fumbles, you will need to use the API.

Ah, gotcha. I reached out to Scott C, the author of CRL for help. I appreciate the suggestion for it. My understanding of the script says it will help, but I cant begin to actually understand how to make it work.

Yeah, can't help you there sorry :(

I'll take the plunge into scripting at some point, but I'm not there yet.
