Roll20 Easy Dice Syntax

[GuardianTempest]

So when I was pitting my starter characters against each other, I came up with combat roll formats to speed things up. Replace the colored spots with the appropriate values. As usual, X is the rolled die and Y is the kept.

Test against a target number
Xd10!!kY-TargetNumber
Example: 4d10!!k3-15

If the result is negative, the test is a failure. Usually, TargetNumber is often the target's Static Defense

==Attack roll against someone who dodges/parries the attack:
Xd10!!kY-{Dexterity+Weaponry/Acrobaticsd10!!kDexterity/2+StaticDefense}
Example: 5d10!!k3-{7d10!!k3/2+20}

If the result is a negative, the dodge/parry is successful and the attack misses. Round down.

==Damage roll with armor and resilience taken into factor
{Xd10!!kY-Armor+Penetration}/Resilience
Example: {9d10!!>9k3}/5

If the result is less than 1, no wounds are inflicted, decimals are not rounded down. Omit adding Penetration if your weapon has a Penetration value of 0. Omit Armor and Penetration if the target isn't wearing any armor (Penetration wouldn't be needed then).

==Dodge/Parry Test
(Xd10!!kY/2)+YourStaticDefense

This immediately skips to showing off your new Static Defense after dodging/parrying. Round the result down unless specified, obviously.

==Opposing Roll
Xd10!!kY[Character A]-X1d0!!kY[Character B]

If the result is a negative, Character B wins the opposing roll. The inline labels are merely for reference purposes, it can be omitted and there is an alternate format.

Character A: [[Xd10!!kY]]
Character B: [[Xd10!!kY]]

==Counting the amount of raises in a test (I usually use this for Focus Power tests)
{Xd10!!kY-TargetNumber}/5 (rounding down)

Any suggestions and contributions of your own are welcome.

Just be aware that iphones hate that site so there may be issues on iphones specifically

I have these set up as token actions, using roll20's DtD sheets, so it might take some adjustment for your personal use. Also, custom Hit Location table.

Attack:
&{template:default} {{name=@{selected|name}}} {{Attack Roll=[[?{Roll|3}]]k[[?{Keep|2}]]+[[?{Flat Bonus|0}]]}} {{Attack Total=[[?{Roll}d10!!k?{Keep}m<1+?{Flat Bonus}]]}} {{Hit Location=[[1t[hit-location]]]}}

Damage:
&{template:default} {{name=@{selected|name}}} {{Damage Roll=[[?{Roll|3}]]k[[?{Keep|2}]]+[[?{Flat Bonus|0}]]}} {{Armor / Penetration=[[?{Armor|0}]]/[[?{Penetration|0}]]}} {{Target's Resilience=[[?{Resilience|4}]]}} {{Damage Dealt=[[floor((?{Roll}d10!!cs>10cf9k?{Keep} - {[[?{Armor} - ?{Penetration}]], 0}k1 + ?{Flat Bonus}) / ?{Resilience})]] wounds}}

Focus Power:
&{template:default} {{name=@{selected|name}}} {{Focus Roll=[[?{Roll|3}]]k[[?{Keep|2}]]+[[?{Flat Bonus|0}]]}} {{Focus Total=[[?{Roll}d10!!cs>10cf9k?{Keep}+?{Flat Bonus}]]}}

I got tired of having to flip to the critical damage charts, so I've compressed them down to a single macro. The text is not verbatim - had to do some rewrites because it was stretching Roll20's comma limit - but is fundamentally the same.
