HTML Entities can be useful in creating macros, Building Character Sheets, and wiki editing.
When creating some complicated macros, usually involving nesting, you will need to use HTML entities in parts of the code to trick the Roll20 system to make it behave like you want, or some advanced tricks won't work.

By using HTML entities to replace all } inside "Choose a Roll", it will now correctly process where the query ends.
?{Choose a Roll|

DEX,/roll 1d20 + 2 + (?{Modifier}) |
CON,/roll 1d20 + 1 + (?{Modifier}) }
