Useful Macros for Players
Work in progress (use for general systems only, if system specific add to that page!)
D20 Based Systems
Generic Roller:
"20": /me rolls a [[1d20+?{modifier|0}]] for ?{reason|no reason}.
When clicked, this macro will prompt the user to enter a number, which represents the skill modifier to be added to a d20 roll.
Then it will ask the user to explain why this die was rolled.
For example, if the player is making a SWIM check with a swimming skill of 4, they'd type 4, enter, swimming, enter.
The results will look something like:
Phnord rolls a 17 for swimming!
If the user enters nothing for both prompts, the results will look something like:
Phnord rolls a 13 for no reason!
