Example of a PC "Attack & Damage" roll, and a Spell outputted as a "spellcard"

Main Page: D&D 5E by Roll20

There are 10 roll templates provided by the D&D 5E by Roll20-character sheet.

See also the D&D5E by Roll20 NPC Attributes-page.

Contents

General Notes

  • Anything that says it toggles something off/on means that if you put anything after the "=", including a space, that feature is turned on, if there is nothing after the "=", then it is off.
  • The macros using atk, simple, npcatk, and atkdmg generated by the sheet utilize @{rtype} in place of {{always/normal/advantage/disadvantage=1}} {{r2=[[1d20]]}}. This attribute would allow you to link whether a second d20 is rolled or not to what the settings of your sheet are. Since @{rtype} translates to {{query=1}} {{<advantage|disadvantage|always|normal>=1}} {{r2=[[1d20]]}} you will need to add the closing brackets and any attack modifiers you want directly afterwards in order to match the first attack roll.

An example of such a macro would look like this: &{template:atkdmg} {{rname=rname}} {{attack=1}} {{r1=[[1d20+7 ]]}} @{rtype}+7]]}} {{damage=1}} {{dmg1flag=1}} {{dmg1=[[1d6+5]]}} {{dmg1type=dmg1type}} Note how @{rtype} is followed by +7]]}} in order to match the original attack roll of 1d20+7.

  • The roll templates have a hard-coded size and will not scale if the chat pane is resized or (with the exception of the description fields and fields in the NPC templates) if a field's contents are larger than the field's space in the template output.
