Thanks for the clarification @IamSposta. Sucks that {{ scalevalue }} doesn't work with races (would explain why I couldn't find anything on it), but doing some math to emulate that would be an awesome workaround.

And amazing work on the math for the first part @Mairondil!! That would have taken me a minute to compile. I'll see if I can figure something out for the second snippet, and if I do figure it out I'll post it for anyone else interested on it.

Really appreciate the help, you two!!! :D

Back of the napkin calculations so far: 

{{(characterlevel/5)@rounddown,max:2}}

That'll get us to levels 1-4: 0, levels 5-9: 1, and levels 10 and up: 2.

Just need to figure out how to turn a 0 into a 6, a 1 into a 10, and a 2 into a 12. If it was a d8, d10, and d12, we could multiply the above result by 2 and add 8. But since we're going from a d6 to a d10, to a d12, it really does complicate things. Still working through this though.

I'm getting different results:

 Each custom action is a different level. Here are the snippets for each (I replace characterlevel with the actual number so I can see all of the results simultaneously)

{{2*(characterlevel/5)@rounddown,max:2}} {{3+(characterlevel/5)@max:1,rounddown*2}}

{{2*((characterlevel*2/5)@rounddown,max:3+3)}}

The top line is what I've been working on. Two different snippets to see if I can get a number that can be calculated together

The bottom line is @Halfwing. I'm getting not accurate results at levels 4 and 9. Haven't checked any others other than what's in the screenshot.

There are plenty of ways to get the proper result! But queueing off of Mairondil’s start (above), you could do something like the following:

{{(characterlevel/5)@min:1,max:3,rounddown}}d{{((characterlevel/5)@rounddown*4)@max:6+6}}{{modifier:cha}}

{{((characterlevel/5)@rounddown*4)@max:6+6}} will get you a value of 6 from levels 1–4, 10 from levels 5–9, and 12 from levels 10+.

You must have corrected it from when I first saw it a few minutes ago. Works flawlessly. I'll have to study how you put this together.

YOU. ARE. DA. MAN!

@Halfwing The code works!! Thank you for getting it together for me :D

@Mairondil I really appreciate the help you gave in all this! I admit the second portion was complicated to say the least, but the first portion of the code was an absolute godsend. Thanks again :D

Happy to help, and I knew the cavalry would ride in to the rescue with the right calculations. Those two are amazeballs when it comes to snippets.

No problem. I love snippet challenges and I'm glad work was just slow enough I could put some thought in this. I'm actually looking forward to dissecting @Halfwing's final version later on after work.

This is just so elegant and simple. I was getting way too complicated, but then I was at work during a rare slow time and could only test things in spurts.

This is interesting but, can this be used for like checks like a code that add to your perception?

No, for that you need Modifiers. Snippets don’t actually “do” anything, they just display calculated information.

Ah i see

is there a way to reference the spellcasting ability modifier rather than a specific ability?

Nope. All you have is {{modifier:int}}, {{modifier:wis}}, or {{modifier:cha}}

You also have {{spellattack:int}}, {{spellattack:wis}}, or {{spellattack:cha}} for spell attacks, but even then it's depends on which one you choose.

Sorry if this has been discussed before, but is there a list of the known ways to add font adjustments to snippet code?

So, <strong>text</strong> will make text bold, do we know what makes italic, underline, and cross through?

EDIT: If there is, and ms stormknight is still active on the forums, it would be cool if they could be added to the main post.

Well, <em>text</em> will make it italicized. I’m not sure that underlined or struck through will work (in fact I’m pretty sure they don’t), but if they will it should be <u>text</u> and <del>text</del> respectively.

Don't speculate, just try it! You can add custom actions to your character sheet, complete with snippets, which makes it a lot easier to test them, just remember to set an activation type (otherwise they may not appear). I just tried the following and all of these codes appear to work:

<b>Bold</b> <i>italic</i> <u>underlined</u> <del>strikethrough</del> <strong>strong</strong> <em>emphasis</em>

Resulting in the following snippet:

Bold italic underlined struck strong emphasis

Sometimes <b> & <i> cause formatting funk, I always recommend using <strong> & <em> instead.
