Syntax

Select tokens on the active map, then type the command !CombatBegins into the chat. Alternatively, you could create a macro.

var Combat_Begins = Combat_Begins || {};
 
Combat_Begins.statName = new Array ("Dex"); //Stats to be added to roll, commas between values
Combat_Begins.rollValue = 20; //rolling 1d20, change if you roll 1dXX
Combat_Begins.sendChat = true; //True if you want the chat log to show their results
Combat_Begins.includeChars = true; //set false if you want to roll for players
 
//If you want players to roll, make this a global macro (add other stats as needed):
//    @{selected|token_name} rolls a [[ 1d20 + @{selected|Dex} &{tracker} ]] for initiative!
