Variable vs Table rather than Roll Vs Table

[Girl-of-Dust]

I've been working on a Story Template which generates random works of art as AD&D treasure. This consists of several tables with a descriptive element, and a second column for the impact on the value of the item.

The original idea was that the value modifiers would be added together via a long [#Mod1#+#Mod2#] - which works, however that final sum is meant to be checked against a table to determine the actual value.

In other words, the sum of [#Mods#] should be treated as the "Dice Roll" on the Value Table. I figured I could probably do this by having it roll Xd1 where X is [#Mods#] however I cannot figure out any way to actually intercept the rolled die or modifier for the table.

My closest success was converting the code's paragraph type to chat, and making it a /rollon value [#Mods#]d1, however it isn't exactly an elegant solution and I was hoping there might be some better alternative.

Is there anything I'm overlooking, or have I run into a hard limit on what Fantasy Grounds is capable of?

Can't say I'm following exactly what you are trying to do. But sounds very likely you have reached the limits of what OOTB FG can do. TJ has a pretty impressive extension that enhances what tables and story templates can do. I haven't had time to play with it yet though. But I have talked extensively with him about it while he's been developing it. Check it out here: Fantasy Grounds Forge
Read more about it here: New! Story Templates Enhanced and then if you still have questions, you can ask him about it in that thread.
