Deck Pick issue with tables (IPAD3)
Greetings,
I've noticed an interesting issue with some of my tables recently when trying to perform deck picks. I have some lookup tables which are used to generate content for magic items. In many cases this data needs to be re-used for other items without duplication. Rather than recreate the data for the new item, I'm trying to re-use the tables. However, I'm seeing duplicates being generated despite using the Deck Pick notation. For example, using the following generator inside IPAD3 to roll 5 sets:
I've gotten the following return sets:
I initially suspected it being due to the weighting of some of the entries, but this isn't the case, as you can see in the output for run number 4, where Acheron is listed twice although it only has a weight of 1 in 24.
This has been tested in SM1.7 (which uses the IPAD2 engine via the /ipad command), and IPAD3 itself.
Has anyone else used the Deck Pick functionality from Roll based lookup tables without the above duplication? If so, is there anything you've done in the table setup that is missing in mine?
If not, does anyone have any other ideas as to what may be going on here?
Thanks.

Table: Test Cubic Gate& <br/> [#21 AmuletOfThePlanesDestinations]& <br/> [!5 AmuletOfThePlanesDestinations>>implode<br/> ] Table: AmuletOfThePlanesDestinations Type: Lookup Roll: 1d24 01-02:Seven Heavens 03:Twin Paradises 04:Elysium 05:Happy Hunting Grounds 06-07:Olympus 08:Gladsheim 09:Limbo 10:Pandemonium 11-12:Abyss 13:Tarterus 14:Hades 15:Gehenna 16-17:Nine Hells 18:Acheron 19:Nirvana 20:Arcadia 21:Prime Material Plane 22:Ethereal Plane 23:Astral Plane 24:Prime Material, but alternate Plane
I've gotten the following return sets:

Tarterus
Nirvana

Nine Hells

Acheron
Nine Hells
Limbo
Cubic Gate

Hades
Olympus
Cubic Gate
Prime Material Plane
Arcadia
Acheron
Acheron
Tarterus

Cubic Gate
Prime Material Plane
Prime Material, but alternate Plane
Limbo
Prime Material Plane //this one doesn't really count as I did a manual targeted pick before the deck pick
Pandemonium
Abyss
