Note that if you use the same exact wording for a Query, Roll20 will only ask for the value the first time it's encountered in the roll. You can use Roll Queries in rolls, macros, abilities, emotes, whispers - pretty much anywhere in the app. Roll Queries allow you to prompt whoever is performing the roll to fill in a value when the roll is made. For example, you may want to roll a variable number of dice, or add a different modifier onto the roll each time you perform the action. Sometimes you may have a roll (or a macro) which you want to change every time it is rolled. This will result in the inner inline rolls to be calculated before the other: You can also nest inline rolls, one inside the other. em Riley is filled with ] points of anger! To do an inline roll, just include two brackets in any chat message or roll, like so: Also when you mouse-over the inline roll to see the details of the roll, it'll show red and green highlights for the rolls themselves for crits/fumbles.
If it has both (because there was more than one roll), it's in blue. If there's a crit failure, it's highlighted in red. If an inline roll contains a crit success, it will be highlighted with a green box.You will only see the result of the total roll, and you can hover over the result to see the individual dice rolls.They are evaluated completely before any /roll commands, so you can use them as "random variables" in your rolls.For example, you can do a regular chat message, an emote, or a whisper, with an inline roll included. You can use them in any chat message, not just a roll.Inline rolls are just like regular rolls, with the following exceptions: If you want a more compact roll representation, you can take advantage of inline rolls. When these comments are applied directly after a die roll they show up as tool-tips on the dice: If you want to include additional comments before the end of the roll (we call them "inline labels"), use square brackets. roll 1d20+5 \ +5 Roll for Initiative Inline Labels If you want to include any numbers, parentheses, or +, -, *, /, or % in your additional text, you can preface it with a \ to separate the formula from the text and keep the roller from getting confused. It's entirely optional to do this, by the way, but some GMs find it helps keep everything organized a little better. The extra text won't affect your roll in any way, but it's included in the chat log so that others can see what you're rolling for. For example, when rolling for initiative you might enter /roll 1d20+5 Roll for Initiative. You can also include non-formula text in your roll to indicate what that roll is for. It's a great way to perform skill checks in secret.
So if you're the GM, doing a /gmroll will only be visible to you. If you want to roll in secret, you can use the /gmroll command to perform a roll that only the GM and the original player who made the roll can see.
(The number sits on an outline of the dice type rolled, and this outline is in the same color as the square of color in the dice-roller's player portrait in the Player Area.)

Notice that for each group of dice that were rolled, there will be a group of numbers in parentheses, representing the result of each individual dice that was rolled. If you have an attack that does two types of damage, you might do /roll 2d6+5 + d8.Īfter the roll is performed, you'll see the results of the roll in the text chat area. Finally, you can also string multiple rolls together. If you hit and you need to roll 3d6+2 damage, you would just type /roll 3d6+2. In Roll20, you would just type /roll d20+5. For example, you might know that to roll an attack roll you need to roll a "D20 plus your attack modifier". In most cases, the formula is the same as the one that's printed in your game's instructions. Just type the /roll command into the text chat box, followed by a formula. 17.6.2 Target Number / Successes (B,F) - CPĭice can be rolled simply from the Tabletop Toolbox Dice Rolling Interfaceįor more control over how the dice behave, or to automate processes or math, dice can be rolled in chat.17.4.9.1 Order of Operations for Modifiers.17.4.7 Keep / Drop Dice (B,F) khN/klN/dhN/dlN.17.4.1 Target Number / Successes (B,F) - CP.
