Hi, I'm playing a Monk in Achaea and have a rather puzzling problem. I'm sure I could do this differently but it might be fun for you guys to play around with. I've never seen this posted but maybe some of you have seen it before. There are times when I want to add a random attack onto an action or have one there in case the action fails and it doesn't cost balance or equilibrium. I do not want to become predictable which could hapen if people catch on and trigger blocks or parry to my initial action. I have a list variable for kicks that looks like this:

#var AttackMode {axk @Target|mnk @Target left|mnk @Target right|sdk @Target|snk@Target right|snk @Target left}

I then have an alias
#alias ChooseAttack {#1 {%item(@AttackMode,%random(1,6))}}

The output I get is for example:

snk @Target left

Which should be expected. I have tried different types of brackets to get the @Target variable to show up as the actual name. Is there any way to do this?

Try using #exec instead of #1 - that's what it's for, after all.

If that doesn't work, try using %eval on the result of %item.

That works perfectly! Thanks so much!
