Reproduction
Working Scenario:
- Roll a ranged attack from sheet
- Roll damage from chat
- roll BF/FA from chat
Not Working Scenario:
- Roll damage from sheet
- roll BF/FA from chat
Cause
This appears to be a Roll20 issue.
When rolling damage from the sheet, Roll20 tries to resolve the global chat button macro for BF(ranged_damage_conc_extra_bf
)/FA(ranged_damage_conc_extra_fa
) as if it were a repeating section, completely garbling it in the process (e.g. repeating_rangedweapons_-KnyUIqobFpVz8TjNSUx_conc_extra_fa
).
When rolling via the attack roll first, Roll20 forgets that the context was a repeating section, and renders it correctly.
Possible Solutions
- Hope that Roll20 fixes it (yeah, right...)
- Remove the BF/FA rolls from damage rolls from the sheet, and move them to buttons in the shot type explanation section instead.
- Duplicate the BF/FA for every weapon, and use that one to roll from damage, so that Roll20 can actually resolve to an existing macro. This will cause a lot of sheet bloat, though.
- Make BF/FA a query that pops up when rolling damage, instead

Implemented option 4.
