Need to roll several times on a table with different results

  First, drop the Set:Roll variable definition. It's not needed when you want a new die roll each time you enter the table.

  Try something like this:

  ; Test-Roll140.ipt
  ; created 5/26/2020 10:50:15 AM
  Table: Main
  [#{1d100} Title]
  
  Table: Title
  Type: Lookup
  ;1 - 50: Knight
  1 - 50:[#{{d100}+40} Title]
  51 - 62: Baronnet
  63 - 86: Baron
  87: Archbaron 
  88: Viscount
  89 - 98: Count
  99: Marquis
  100:[#{{d100}+40} Title]
  101 - 130: Duke
  131: Grand Duke
  132: Archduke
  133 - 138: Prince
  139: Crown Prince
  140: King
  

  Now, I made the d100+40 call on a roll of 1 to 50 here, just so we can see it works on test runs (I get a lot barons, counts, and dukes... duke is a roll over 100, so it works). Once you're convinced it works, you can make 1 - 50 a knight again, and it will only reroll d100+40 if the initial roll is a 100. This makes a major noble/royal a 1% chance (even less than 1%, since the reroll can be 41-140, which is still a 60% chance of a minor noble).

  Make sense how you can call that reroll within the lookup table itself, but have the +40 modifier. Could even make the reroll 1d140 if you wanted an equally weighted 1 - 140 resulting roll. Or, make it [#{{d40}+100} Title] if you wanted an initial roll of 100 to always result in a major noble/royal with the reroll result being 101-140 (or, in this case, just have a separate table for royals, and have the lookup be 100: [#{d40} Royal]).

  Thank you so much for your help - now that I see it it makes sense.
