1d12 is not a valid integer error

vanveen

I'm trying to set a Lookup table that uses a d8+d12, the same as the old-school 1e random encounter tables. I put in the command Roll: {1d8+1d12}. Executing it throws a "1d12 is not a valid integer" error.

I thought this was legal syntax. There's a {4d6+8d8} example somewhere in the help. Can I not do this for a lookup roll?

A pity if so. The d8+d12 has a particular and very useful distribution.

You can use it in brackets, maybe you can't do it with the Roll command though. Here's a workaround if you need to index a roll on a lookup table. Table A generates the value and then looks that value up on Table B. Presumably you will want to put something more interesting on Table B, I just have it return the actual value to confirm it's working properly.

Table: A
[#{1d8+1d12} B]

Table: B
Type: Lookup
2:2
3:3
4:4
5:5
6:6
7:7
8:8
9:9
10:10
11:11
12:12
13:13
14:14
15:15
16:16
17:17
18:18
19:19
20:20

Thank you! I realized I'd actually broken down the percentage chance for each number, so I just used that as a weight. Calling another table is making me think about some other parts of the beast though, where it may come in handy. Thanks for the quick response.
I suspect this isn't implemented for Roll:
