MapTool's chat system supports a number of "slash commands" (that is, commands preceded by a "/" character) that execute particular actions when typed directly into chat.

General Usage

To use a chat command, you type directly into the chat window, using the following format:

/command argument

where command is one of the commands in the table below, and argument is an appropriate argument (a dice roll, or a string of text, etc.) upon which the command acts. NOTE: remember, the commands shown below are always preceded by a forward slash (/) character.
