Simple Question: Skill Check via Character Sheet Macro

June 01 (11 years ago)

Edited June 01 (11 years ago)
It's a simple, perhaps dumb question, but how do I make a macro of the button next to the skill of a specific character sheet?
I've tried referring to "Acrobatics-Check", but the closest I have gotten was "/roll20+@{CharacterName|Acrobatics}" which looks far messier than it should.

Assuming the things you need are not in a repeating section -

Use a roll button from the sheet in a macro
%{CharacterName|MacroButtonName} 

Use an attribute from the sheet
@{CharacterName|AttributeName}

Thanks a lot, I figured I was missing something simple :)

It depends on the sheet, for instance on the 4e character sheet the acrobatics roll is called "acrobatics-Check" then roll20 changes that to "sheet-acrobatics-Check" and if you want to call that from a macro you would use "%{CharacterName|-acrobatics-Check}".

As Actoba sugested this does not work with anything that is in a repeating section.

It does? It shouldn't be appending sheet- to roll names...
