ok specific macro help please

am playing a few games where the dms are not subscribers so character sheets are unavailable to call macros.  i have a few different damage situations depending on weapon and spell mods. i really like using the macro i found in the community : /em ?{Description} Attack w/Advantage [[{2d20KH1}+?{Modifiers|0}]] to hit [[?{Damage Roll}]] damage but with the different damage rolls ie sneak attack planar warrior or smite damage added i roll different damage die.  would like to be able to call die macros ie: #SneakSimple /roll 1d8+2d4+1d6+10+2d6 or  #Simple /roll 1d8+2d4+1d6+10   etc  how would i change the above top macro to be able to input diffrerent damage die macros on the query thank you for your help in advance
I'm not familiar with the base macro you're using, but why can't you just type in the full amounts when it prompts you for the Damage Roll? You also don't need to call macros, you could just set the query with different options and include them like this: ?{Damage Roll|Simple,1d8+2d4+1d6+10|Sneak Simple,1d8+2d4+1d6+10+2d6} The query will display the sections before the commas as the drop down options, then plug in the parts after the commas in the inline roller.

They just cannot load custom sheets into their games. It looks like you are playing D&amp;D 5e, and there are at least 3 D&amp;D 5e sheets that can be loaded. Two of those are not getting further development (Community and Shaped), but the Official D&amp;D 5e by Roll20 sheet is maintained and updated by Roll20 staff, so it's a safe bet to use for the long term. Ask your DM to read more about adding a character sheet to the game in the wiki here: <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Character_Sheets#Choosing_a_Character_Sheet" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Character_Sheets#Choosing_a_Character_Sheet</a>
Thank you for your replies, to answer responses.

i bit the bullet and went with Dakota's suggestion.&nbsp; &nbsp;was hoping to simplify it so i could have used it in the two separate games with the two separate character types but alas the fates smiled on another.&nbsp; Thanks
