Using Snippet Codes in your homebrew

Quote from DMcot >>

Can i make an action where the dice amount is proficiency*d4+dex modifier?
I tried keying in the word proficiency in the Dice count box when I add an action but it says 'proficiency is not a vaild number'.

Thank you

 
No, there is no way to do that with custom actions.

I'm trying to make a snippet for scalevalue plus Intelligence modifier is this possible?

Per this, I'm not sure it will work. {{scalevalue}} returns a string of DICE COUNT, DIE TYPE, and FIXED VALUE. It might work if you only fill out FIXED VALUE since that would be a number, but if it still returns it as a string you probably can't use any math on it.

You might give this a read and figure out how to use {{characterlevel}} or {{classlevel}} to do the same thing though.

Not sure this the appropriate thread, but I haven't found what I need anywhere else. How do I do simple text formatting in a snippet? I mean, bold, italics, this stuff. Thanks and sorry for the noob question.
