I wrote these macros for my blind players. They use them along with a mod called “Advanced Macros” to trigger skills, checks, and such from their character sheets via chat. Advanced-Macros also requires the mod “lib-wrapper” to function.
I try to keep all the macros as short as possible, to speed up the play for these players. Below is a key of all the macros present. With a little experimentation, you can probably create some of your own! Whenever possible, I used the same abbreviation the pf1 system devs do for an item eg perception becomes per because that’s what they use.
Installation: Install the mod. Turn the mod on (requires advanced-macros and lib-wrapper mods). Look under compendiums for “Folken’s PF1 Blind Macros.” Right click it and left click “Import all content.”
Try them out!
All macros are written to be character agnostic. Meaning they will run off the sheet of whatever actor you are currently assigned. If you’re GM, you need to have a token selected for them to work.
Skills: Acrobatics: acr Appraise: apr Bluff: blf Climb: clm Disable Device: dev Diplomacy: dip Disguise: dis Escape Artist: esc Fly: fly Handle Animal: han Heal: hea Intimidate: int Knowledge Arcana: kar Knowledge Dungeoneering: kdu Knowledge Engineering: ken Knowledge Geography: kge Knowledge History: khi Knowledge Local: klo Knowledge Nature: kna Knowledge Nobility: kno Knowledge Planes: kpl Knowledge Religion: kre Linguistics: lin Perception: per Profession: prf2 (actor must have a profession created) Ride: rid Sense Motive: sen Sleight of Hand: sle Spellcraft: spl Stealth: ste Survival: sur Swim: swm Use Magic Device: umd
Checks: Concentration Check Primary Spellbook: conc Concentration Check Secondary Spellbook: conc2 Initiative Check: ini Save, Fortitude: for Save, Reflex: ref Save, Will: wil Stabilize Check: stab
Items & Spells: For these they must be individually dragged down to the button bar, then renamed. They will be character-specific.
Then right-click that macro in the bar and rename it to something simple to type. Eg Wand of Cure Light Wounds becomes wclw
That’s it! WIth these macros installed / created, your players can trigger them from a chat prompt as long as “Advanced Macros” mod is on. Anyone can use them, as long as they have an actor assigned or a token selected.
Some checks currently take your focus & cursor off the chat prompt. I’m working with the mod / fvtt devs to fix this! They are the real experts on this stuff!
