The Unseen Servant forums

Post handy macro strings here for other players to cut-n-paste into the Unseen Servant Dice Roller. If you've developed character-specific macros, post them here as well in case I or someone else has to NPC him in your absence.

(Sorry, I should've posted this a long time ago!)

Quick Character Generation
ATR1 [4d6c1], ATR2 [4d6c1], ATR3 [4d6c1], ATR4 [4d6c1], ATR5 [4d6c1], ATR6 [4d6c1]

I like to make my macros so when I paste the resulting forum code into my comment, it provides the exact details of what my action was, along with the roll results. It's pretty easy to do. When creating the macro, start off with the text you want to display. Then use square brackets around what you want the roll to be. The syntax is pretty simple, and ToniXX (Site Admin) is happy to add modifications when necessary (he recently added the multiplication function so I could do my backstabbing damage more easily).

For example (Till is my character in another PbP game on the Unseen Servant):
Till sneaks up on a hill giant and stabs it in the calf with his short sword.

I use this macro for his attack:
"To Hit, Backstab [1d20+4]" (the +4 bonus comes from being a level 5 thief)
"Damage, Backstab (Shortsword, L) [1d8x3]" (the damage is x3, also from being a level 5 thief)

The forum code that results looks like this (except that I'm taking the very first and last square brackets off so the code displays):
url=http://www.unseenservant.com/Default.as ... ne&id=1854]To Hit, Backstab [1d20+4] = 16+4 = 20[/url

url=http://www.unseenservant.com/Default.as ... ne&id=1855]Damage, Backstab (Shortsword, L) [1d8x3] = 4x3 = 12[/url

Once I paste the forum code(s) into the comment and save, it looks like this:
To Hit, Backstab [1d20+4] = 16+4 = 20

Damage, Backstab (Shortsword, L) [1d8x3] = 4x3 = 12

It has the description of what my action was, the resulting dice rolls, and the link back to the actual roll results.

Some Of Alethan's Macros (a minor sampling, taken from several characters I have):
Open Door = [1d6]
Initiative Roll = [1d6]
To Hit (Melee) = [1d20+1]
Damage (Battle Axe) = [1d8+1]
To Hit, Sling [1d20+6]
Damage, Sling (Small/Medium) [1d4+1]
Damage, Sling (Large) [1d6+1]
Saving Throw [1d20]
Stat Check = [1d20]
Skill Check [1d100]
To Hit, Backstab [1d20+4]
Damage, Backstab (Shortsword, S/M) [1d6x3]
Damage, Backstab (Shortsword, L) [1d8x3]

These are the macros I have set up for Bran:
To Hit (Melee) = [1d20+1]
Damage, Battle Axe = [1d8+2]
Damage, Dagger (Large) [1d3+2]
Damage, Dagger (Small/Medium) [1d4+2]
To Hit (Missile) = [1d20+3]
Damage, Arrow [1d6]
Saving Throw [1d20]
Initiative [1d6]

This is a great help, Alethan. Thanks!
