Macro Support

Rollplay supports Macros in most text fields, written between square brackets: [ ].
They're evaluated on the Player Character, and if the macro is valid, everything between the brackets is replaced. Macros cover three things:

• Link content. [Fireball] becomes a link to the Fireball spell, and tapping it opens the entry. This works for anything in the Library: Spells, Feats, Conditions, Classes, Items and so on.
• Show real values. Instead of writing "Proficiency plus your Strength Modifier" and leaving the maths to the player, write [Proficiency + STR] and the sheet shows the actual number. Anything that works in a Formula works here.
• Roll dice in place. [4d20] becomes a roll the player can tap. Rolls can include your stats too, so [d20 + DEX] rolls a d20 and adds the character's Dexterity. See Dice Formulas for everything a roll can contain.

Here's the same text as you write it, and as the player sees it:

Macros that use stats need a character to evaluate on, so the same macro shows up in one of three ways:

• While editing, you see the stat names as you wrote them: [Proficiency + DEX].
• With a character loaded, the macro is evaluated and you only see the highlighted result, like 4.
• With no character loaded, there's nothing to evaluate on, so the stat names stay as they are in edit mode: [Proficiency + DEX].

We also provide a few special macros, such as:

• [Name] -> Character Name
• [Race] -> Character Race (works for any defined Identity)
• [Class] -> Character Class

Autocomplete

You don't need to remember the exact name of every spell or attribute. Start typing inside the brackets and Rollplay suggests matching attributes and Library content, color-coded by type, so you can tell a Condition from a Spell or a Feat at a glance.
