But in D&D, you’ll be using dice with many different sides. The way I describe does not add another Attribute nor does it allow for any auto adjustments of the uses value without API. We don't use the API in our game so I customized it a bit to remind me to go in and change things by hand.  If I am incorrect in my assumptions, please let me know and then let me know how you did it because auto tracking uses without API would be stellar. Most maneuvers are this way. If you want more dice and/or maneuvers on top of that, there's also a feat called Martial Adept. Ultimately it's up to your DM to decide how he wants to rule. When he chooses to use a maneuver he just types -1 into the blue dot and it ticks down. HLazar said: TheWebCoder said: Anyway, the battle master in our group made a trait with the # of dice he gets, and we linked the blue dot on his token to that trait. 5e Dungeons & Dragons doesn’t place nearly the emphasis on feats or the proliferation of “feat trees” that 3rd ed.

Being fairly new to Roll20, I'm not too familiar with the API and how it works, but maybe it's because of our DM? Thanks in advance for helping me. One might also consider taking the Resilient feat for dexterity rather than an ability score increase. So dealing an extra 15 damage to an enemy, but not potentially reducing the number or effectiveness of turns it eventually takes (because your turn is first in the party, for example), is less meaningful than dealing an extra 4 damage to an enemy that denies that enemy its very next turn (because your turn is immediately before it). I believe that RAI is that all die are rerolled. The style is, numerically, very weak without more dice and punishes players for not using a great sword. Our polearm fighter’s obvious choice for a 1st level fighting style is going to be great weapon fighting, allowing us to reroll the first 1’s or 2’s that are rolled, which will greatly help increase the average damage output. Saving Throws. Are you making an attack at disadvantage? And let’s not forget that we’ll be trying to use the trip maneuver early and often to make our attacks at advantage in the first place! An attribute is something that you create in the Attributes and Abilities tab of the token (another tab from the character sheet). The goal: to be able to track the total number of Superiority Dice that are used for these 'maneuvers' -- bonus: to have each maneuver subtract 1 from the total count with a click. What I've done is: which calls the usage trait as part of using the ability. Making custom character sheets is easier than ever with a special, streamlined game type to build and test them! If you are interested here is how I set it up. I just removed my fancy freeform text and set it like yours and it works. Enjoy the output. I must have been confused when I was researching this, because I could've sworn I saw older versions of the sheet where a "class resource" could be tracked, generically, without having to create a 'dummy trait' that simply tracks the amount of superiority dice a fighter has. Lastly, this feat gives us yet another fail-safe to use in conjunction with Great Weapon Master’s -5 attack penalty. There is no other answer. Set the number of uses and damage die. That was to make sure I didn't end up with a stupidly large pool of dice, which was perfectly fair. I just attached the number of uses to all my attacks as a reminder to go into my sheet and reduce the number. This is why I thought you were using an Attribute.

It's not automated, but it's really fast and easy. A trait cannot edit the use of another trait. If there's a way, that would be nice, because the attribute can be tied to a circle on my token. Is that not the intended use? Better still, if an enemy has advantage against you, you can spend a luck point and choose the worst result out of 3d20 for their attack.
