Can't call the [damage] and [damageDie] attributes in Scaling Actions #63

Open ecto8io opened 2 years ago

When I try to use the options presented in the "GMM Monster Attacks" compendium, the ones that involve the dealing of damage use the following formula in the damage section of the scaling action:

[damage, damageDie]

When I leave it unchanged, and change the level of the monster, in the scaling action's description, all of the math updates appropriately, presenting no problems. Clearly, the module is using these two variables somewhere, but it has yet to present this location to me. The reason this is an issue is because when I attempt to use these scaling actions as-is, I receive the following message:

Now, I'm confused as to why this is an unresolved StringTerm, given that otherwise, the module can clearly call and calculate the information presented to it. Is there something I'm missing?

This is a restriction with Better Rolls. It works in vanilla or midiQOL; I don't want to give up Better Rolls so when I create a monster I convert their damage to straight dice rolls before using since I rarely scale a creature after creating it. Still would be nice to eventually have working.
