Raven’s Macro Collection!

This is a collection of macros I’ve made for Roll20 for the Mutants & Masterminds 3rd Edition game system. These macros are generic, and hopefully make it clear what needs to be filled in by the end-user to display the information they want.

There is an example Damage macro of every main way to configure an offensive Power, then some basic example macros of variant offensive Powers, such as Affliction, Nullify, and Weaken. The intent is that, by having access to a wide-array of basic Damage macros and seed macros for other Powers, the end-user can combine the pieces to make the full-macros for any Power in Mutants & Masterminds they desire! The system is, after all, far too complex for me to make a potential macro for any Power the end-user might want to make. Macros for a number of common-used combat functions that aren’t typically considered for macros (Disarm, Grab, Trip, Feint, etc.) are also provided, as well as a number of macros to use as a base to easily display passive effects to other players or the GM.

These macros are all intended to be input in the “Offenses” box of the Mutants & Masterminds 3rd Edition character sheet provided by Roll20, underneath the Initiative button. For each macro, simply input the Attack Check, Effect Rank, and Critical Threshold accordingly.

• If the effect doesn’t require an Attack Check to hit, leave that value at 0.

• If the effect can’t Critically Hit, set the Critical Hit value to 21.

Input the Rank of whatever effect is being applied as the Effect Rank of the effect.
For typical Powers, this is the Rank of the Power.
For effects like Feint, this is the value of Deception, Intimidation, so on that your character rolls.
Etc.

Macros for effects that require opposed rolls make the attacker’s half of the opposed roll automatically, then display it as the DC for the defender to defeat.

These macros are meant to be detailed, displaying all the relevant information for adjudicating any individual Power Effect rolled, so that the GM can keep the game moving swiftly, without either party needing to break open a Hero’s Handbook or make a snap judgment because of a forgotten rule.

I may update this document over time, with more examples of how to make varying macros, as I find doing so to be relevant, useful, or otherwise prudent.
