Attack Command

Roll attacks and damage with weapons.

Usage

/attack weapon:<name>

Select a weapon from the autocomplete list (populated from your character's weapons), then fill in the roll popup.

Description

The attack command allows you to: - Roll attacks with specific weapons from your character's weapon list - Select weapons via autocomplete (showing all available weapons) - Configure the roll via a popup with toggles for advantage/disadvantage, modifier input, and label

Roll Popup Options

After selecting a weapon, a popup appears with these options:

  • Advantage - Toggle to roll with advantage
  • Disadvantage - Toggle to roll with disadvantage
  • Modifier - Add a custom modifier to the attack roll (e.g., +1d6, +2)
  • Label - Add a custom label to describe the attack (e.g., "sneak attack", "power attack")

Examples

Attack with a specific weapon: 

/attack weapon:longsword

Attack with autocomplete (type partial name): 

/attack weapon:long    -> autocomplete shows "Longsword"
/attack weapon:dag     -> autocomplete shows "Dagger"

Combat Awareness

When your character is in an active initiative order, this command automatically uses any modified stats applied through the /stats command or other effects.

For example: - If your STR has been enhanced from 14 to 16 while in initiative, attack rolls with STR-based weapons will use the enhanced value - If your DEX has been modified, attack rolls with DEX-based weapons will use the modified value - Damage calculations will also use the enhanced stat modifiers

Outside initiative: Uses your character's base stats as normal. In initiative: Automatically uses any temporarily modified stats.

See the Stats Command documentation for information on modifying stats during combat.
