Pathfinder 1e Template Additional Attacks

1612130762

Edited 1612130808
Hello! I'm trying to figure out how to make my own macros for attacking with the Pathfinder PC template ( &{template:pc} ), because I find the 1e character sheet only allows you to make 7 attacks easily (4 from BAB, and 3 under Additional Attacks). I'm in a high level campaign, and this isn't sufficient. A full-round attack using the Pathfinder Character Sheet My question is, when writing my own macro, is there a way for me to add named attacks (like with the Off-Hand attacks in the above screenshot)? I've found I can create attacks numbered 1-7 with the rollN field,and that additional attacks (roll7 etc) show up with a blank name but still roll roll normally (as seen in the below screenshot). I can work with that, but it would be nice if I could name additional attacks. My custom-written macro Here's the macro that produces the second screenshot: &{template:pc} {{name=Mr. Skadoodles Smash}} {{attack=1}} {{charname=Mr. Skadoodles}} {{showchar=[[1]]} {{type=attack}} {{roll=[[1d20]]}}  {{rolldmg1= [[1d6]] }} {{roll1=[[1d20]]}} {{roll1dmg1=[[1d8]]}} {{roll2=[[1d20]]}} {{roll2dmg1=[[1d8]]}} {{roll3=[[1d20]]}} {{roll3dmg1=[[1d8]]}} {{roll4=[[1d20]]}} {{roll4dmg1=[[1d8]]}} {{roll5=[[1d20]]}} {{roll5dmg1=[[1d8]]}}  {{roll6=[[1d20]]}} {{roll6dmg1=[[1d8]]}} {{roll7=[[1d20]]}} {{roll7dmg1=[[1d8]]}} {{roll8=[[1d20]]}} {{roll8dmg1=[[1d8]]}} To restate my question, is it possible to reproduce the named attacks that the template generated by the character sheet uses? Can I label an attack as Off-Hand 1 in my macro, using the pc template? Alternatively, is there a way to make the name for roll7 and roll8 show up?

The wiki article has a pretty good breakdown on how the roll templates for that sheet work.&nbsp; I would say to go through that and see what you can come up with: <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Pathfinder_Official_Templates" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Pathfinder_Official_Templates</a>
I've been through that, and while it's useful for getting a broad idea of what the template can do, I didn't find it particularly useful for this particular problem. It implies that the pc template can only go up to attack #4, for example.

Does it?&nbsp; For one of the templates, it talks about going up to 8&nbsp; or 9.&nbsp; Did you test it, or just take what you implied? If nothing else, just use that last template listed there and see what you come up with.

As shown in my second screenshot, I did test it, and it goes up to #7 before it starts misbehaving. I have looked at that page, and it does not answer my question. The NPC template does speak about going to to 8 or 9, but as my testing shows, that also applies to the PC template , which isn't obvious from just looking at the documentation (why does the Common Fields table just mention "Attacks 3&amp;4"?). My point is, the documentation isn't comprehensive or necessarily clearly written, and isn't helping me with my problem. I'm hoping someone who knows more about templates knows how to solve my issue - is it possible to add named attack entries to the template, like the pathfinder character sheet does?

Vaguely from memory (I don't play PF, and could be thinking of the the wrong sheet), attacks 1 - 4 are intended for multiple attacks with the main weapon and can't be renamed. The following ones (blank in your screenshot) can be&nbsp; named. I can't remember the name of the template property, but its probably something sensible like {{dmg7name}}. Try looking in the character sheet with the HTML inspector, or filling out an attack there and sending it to chat so you can check how it's constructed.
That worked! You can add {{roll7name=Name}} to rolls 7, 8, and 9. Any rolls under 7 don't pay attention to a rollXname attribute, and rolls above 9 (10, 11, etc) don't work at all. So it looks like you can have up to 10 rolls total, 3 of which can be named. This is consistent with the attacks generated by the Pathfinder Character Sheet - even if you have a BAB of 100, it'll only do 7 iterative attacks, and then you can do another 3 additional attacks that can be named. Thank you, Oosh! This was exactly what I was looking for.

Aha! My memory isn't completely shot yet. Looks like I've got more drinking to do!
