Hi all, kind of a newbie here, trying to create a homebrew subclass for paladin that I saw here but I'm running into issues with the snippets... The full description is working pretty well, but I like being able to roll from the snippet ;)
This is what I'm getting right now:
This is my snippet:
Using your Channel Divinity, you wreathe a melee weapon you are holding arcane energy. For the next minute, this weapon is magical, deals force or radiant damage (your choice), and has a bonus on damage rolls of {{proficiency}} (currently rolls 1d{{8 + modifier:str@min:1 + 2 + proficiency }}). The weapon also emits a bright blue light in a 20-foot radius and dim light 20 feet beyond that.
Additionally, you can swing it in the air to project a blast of energy 30/120 feet and deal force damage equal to 2d{{8 + modifier:cha@min:1}} on a hit.
Other variations I've tried:
{{1d8 + modifier:str@min:1 + 2 + proficiency }}
1d8{{modifier:str@min:1 + 2 + proficiency }}
1d8 + {{modifier:str@min:1 + 2 + proficiency }}
{{modifier:str@min:1 + 2 + proficiency }}1d8
These are the rolls I'm hoping to get:
Gamma blade: 1d8+str+2+proficiency (the +2 is from dueling so if there's a way to add that too, that'd be nice) Energy blast: 2d8+cha
I'm basically just shooting from the hip here trying to get it going, so any help's appreciated!
It also looks like you are using something like Beyond20 to view these in something like Roll20. I suggest looking at them directly on the DDB character sheet instead.
Yep that was it, forgot I had that enabled. With the snippets you suggested and Beyond20 disabled I get this, which seems like it should work fine with Beyond20:
But when I re-enable it, I still get two separate rolls for each, guess I'll have to look at Beyond20 forums or something to figure it out from here. Thanks for the assist!

You cannot have any spaces.
Also, get the die out of there, that’s also messing it up.
Try:
1d8{{((modifier:str@min:1)+2)+proficiency}}
And
2d8{{modifier:cha@min:1}}

Update, this snippet is a little bit closer but it still doesn't combine the rolls...
And this is what I end up with:
Whoops, didn't see your reply @IamSposta before my last post, thank you! Will give that a shot!
