Pulling stats with a cap

September 13 (4 years ago)
One of my players just purchased a mighty shortbow +5 strength.  Her current strength mod is +4, but it's very easy (and highly likely) for her strength to increase and likely to beyond the cap of extra damage that this bow allows.  The current formula for her damage roll is 1d6+@{Str mod}, but I'd like to be able to simply add a cap to this so I don't have to adjust the formula when her strength increases and the Str mod just caps at 5 for the macro.  How would this be accomplished?  Thanks in advance!

This should do the trick:

1d6 + {@{strmod},5}kl1

you can use the drop highest modifier:

 1d6+{@{Str mod},5}dh1
