Summary: ATTACK token enhancement

Initial Comment:
We need an additional optional perameter on the ATTACK token.

Currently we have:

ATTACK.x.y

where x is the attack type (MELEE, GRAPPLE, etc..)

and y is the attack property (optional, can be BASE, TOTAL etc..

When a PC has a high BAB and gets multiple attacks this token 
will output the whole attack iterations, i.e. +11/+6/+1

We need a third optional perameter to limit the output to the first 
(highest) attack bonus:

ATTACK.x.y.z

Where z (optional) is "SHORT"

so this:

ATTACK.MELEE.TOTAL.SHORT  would output: +11

This is needed for two reasons, first is that some stat blocks only 
use the first bonus and don't show the whole iteration, this would 
provide a way to do that which we are lacking now. The second 
reason is for Grapple, The Grapple bonus is not an attack roll at 
all, it is a check and so displaying iterations for it is completely 
wrong. Any time you would need to make a Grapple check you 
would use the highest number, so we need this to display the 
correct output.
