  • Magic Resistance {({WIS/10}+{1})} pt every minute (increases by 1% every 10 WIS points.)\n& Am I interpreting this correctly to mean magic resistance starts at 1%, and goes up by another 1% for each 10 wisdom? First, you'd need to capture t…
  • If you're still looking for an answer... I'll focus on Strength {ST1} as an example. You've set ST1 to STR as if STR is a variable, but you have no variable called that. You have a table named STR that you never invoke. If you want the STR table t…
  • A d100 roll plus a modifier, with anything below 1 treated as 1, and anything higher than 140 treated as 140: {min(140,max(1,1d100+fmod))} jdale's explanation is spot-on. The max function as I use it above gives you 1 or 1d100+fmod, whichever is hi…
  • It's syntactically valid, but are you trying to change the die or are you trying to add a modifier to a d100 roll? As written, you're changing the number of sides on the die. If fmod is -10, for example, you're rolling 1d90. If fmod is 7, you're ro…
  • Your first table doesn't have a name. IPP will run the first named table it finds, so it just runs WhatKind and stops. Your calculation goes a little overboard with the notation. Are you calculating the skill tier times the sum of people searching …
  • I found a way to count spaces after all. For the case in hand, I can assume that "!" never appears in text. If I couldn't find a useful substitute, I'd be out of luck. table: eachcharexample [ Nec ro man cer >> replace / /!/>> eachchar…
  • Yes. If you want the URL to look right in the output, you'd need to write it something like this: http:/\/www.nbos.com If you leave the "//" intact, the rest of the line becomes a comment. Making it "/\/" gets it to display correctly. De…
  • You don't need your vartest tables. In the Friend or Thing tables, add a silent variable assignment to every entry. For example, in the Friend table: A surviving priest eager to make converts[thefriend==the priest] An avidly curious archaeologist[…
  • I haven't played DragonQuest in years, but if there's interest, I have a pile of ipt files I could share. We used DQ 3rd edition for the most part. Examples include: * generating creatures based on their stats in the Monsters chapter, including wea…
  • WISHLIST: Let lookup tables look up 0 and negative numbers. Table: Example {n=-1} gets [#{n} Look]& \n{n=0} gets [#{n} Look]& \n{n=1} gets [#{n} Look]& \n{n=2} gets [#{n} Look]& \n{n=456} gets [#{n} Look] Table: Look Type:loo…
  • ISSUE: Parameters passed to a table don't preserve case. They're always converted to lower case. Take a look at the last example in the help for Table Parameters. It doesn't show the output, but the apparent intent is to list the names as written. U…
  • I've found no way around it within IPP, but if you have Excel, paste the table entries into Excel. You can use the text import wizard to break the lines apart at the colon. You can use the LEFT function to truncate the lookup strings to 10 character…
  • Ha, long time ago now, but after a few months I stopped checking for responses. In any case, the Proper filter (or Upper or Lower) helps only if I'm trying to force the capitalization in that manner. What I was looking for was a way to preserve the …
