Make Macros Instantly – No Experience Needed
On the D&D 2024 sheet you can now turn almost anything into a token action with just a few easy clicks.
Abilities and Skills
- Click the gear next to the Ability or Skill section.
- Click Add to Token Bar.
Attacks, Spells, and Actions
- Open the action’s info window.
- Click the vertical three dots.
- Select Add Action to Token Bar.
Next time you select your token, your actions appear at the top of the screen. Click to roll. That’s it!!
Make Your Macros Awesome!
Recreate the visuals, text, and GIF from the example with these steps:
- Use the macro creator to add a token action for Fireball (or any replacement action).
- At the top of your character sheet, open Advanced Tools.
- Find your new Fireball macro and click Edit.
- Under the action command, paste the following:
/as @{selected|token_name} traces a 🔥burning sigil🔥 toward **@{target|token_name}**

/fx beam-fire @{selected|token_id} @{target|token_id}
/fx explode-fire @{target|token_id}
*Note: This command works best for GMs, who have access and control of each token on the map. If you’re a player, you can always modify it to avoid targeting of tokens not in your control. That could look something like this:
traces a 🔥burning sigil🔥 in the air

/fx beam-fire
You can modify anything here to your liking! Here’s a link to our help center.
Upgrading from 2014 Sheet
If you relied on automations in your 2014 games, you’re now covered! Some attribute names differ between the 2014 and 2024 sheets, so you may need small tweaks, but most setups will work or convert with minor edits.
If you are a Pro subscriber and miss using Token Action Maker on the 2024 sheet, great news: the 2024-compliant Token Action Builder mod is right around the corner!
