Caveats
The macros in this collection are phrased in the language of D20 games (Pathfinder, 4e, 5e, and 13th Age) because that's what the original author play, but the basics of creating macros are system agnostic.
Additionally, with a few exceptions, this series does not (yet) refer to the use of Character Sheets; there are too many character sheets for me to cover how to interact with each and every one of them so the guide's macros use user-created attributes (Don't worry, this section will make more sense later!)

- Initiative + turn tracker, referencing turn tracker values
