Using stats in Macros

Post by wrathgon »

can i use a token's str or any other defined score in macros, i tried to use str but just asked me for the str value.

are their any ways to set global macros so all tokens would have say save macros(and using defined fields wouldnt need to change any marcos for each) :)

It's case sensitive meaning Str and str are different. If your token has a property "Strength" you need to type [1d20+Strength] or it wont work.

Only in the token panel can you do this. If you use properties in the token panel, it will use the value of the currently impersonated token. To impersonate a token, right click it and click "Impersonate" - now if the macro in the panel says [1d20+Strength] it will use that token's.

Hope I helped!
