[Feature Request/Bug?] OTFs with the pick highest of a variety of options type
When you make an OTF that has multiple options in it like [Sk:Acrobatics|DX-4|Sk:Aerobatics-4] it ends up with a few issues.
-
You can't apply a modifier inside the OTF button to all the values. For instance I want to give the players a +2 to their roll and then I have to rewrite the whole button rather than just tacking on a +2 at the end. [Sk:Acrobatics|DX-4|Sk:Aerobatics-4 +2] will not take the +2 at the end into account in any way. This would be useful since I've written up a lot of default buttons and I'd rather not have to adjust each number manually, though it can be worked around by applying a value to people's modifier buckets but that can also be clunky if the roll is something the players can make at various times.
-
The hidden roll mechanic requires you to put an exclamation mark before every possible value. [!Sk:Acrobatics|DX-4|Sk:Aerobatics-4] will roll blind for Acrobatics only and not when using DX-4 or Aerobatics-4. Instead you have to put in [!Sk:Acrobatics|!DX-4|!Sk:Aerobatics-4] which might be neat if there's times that you want some rolls to be hidden but not others (though I can't think of one) but it would make more sense to me to have the blind roll option affect all the options. And if that's not desired I'd love a different variant that does so if possible.
