D&D 4th Ed is Out

[Kamakazie]

A quick word on macros - after messing with them today I intend on adding some new token properties to the campaign that will make macroing much easier. These new properties will be:

maxHP - Your max HP

strMod - Your Strength modifier
dexMod - Your Dexterity modifier
intMod - Your Intelligence modifier
wisMod - Your Wisdom modifier
chaMod - Your Charisma modifier

Perception
Stealth
History
etc...

If you can think of any other variables you could use hardcoded to your token, let me know and I'll set it up. I also created a quick, easy damage macro and a heal macro based on a template provided by Urchin.

<!-- Ask the user for input.
       [DmgValue = DamageTaken]
     Calculate the new value and the correct word to use.
       [NewHP = min(maxHP, max(-20, HP - DmgValue))] 
       [Word = if(DmgValue >= 0, "drop", "rise")]     
-->
{DmgValue} points of damage are taken.
<br>Hit points {Word} to {HP = NewHP}/{maxHP}.

<!-- Ask the user for input.
       [DmgValue = DamageTaken]
     Calculate the new value and the correct word to use.
       [NewHP = min(maxHP, max(-20, HP + DmgValue))] 
       [Word = if(DmgValue >= 0, "rise", "drop")]     
-->
{DmgValue} points of HP are healed.
<br>Hit points {Word} to {HP = NewHP}/{maxHP}.

When I get the chance, I'll mess with it some more so it can detect when you are bloodied and automatically assign the correct state.

Also, I am aware that there are entire 4e frameworks available for download that you can implement but I'm weird and I don't like relying on other people's code. I'm much more comfortable working with my own stuff because I know how it's written and I know it's not going to do any mysterious things. If you don't feel the same way, check out the MapTools forums and you'll find a bunch of macros you can import for your characters!
