Option for table rolls to print a column value

New Feature Addition · Interactive tables · Created by ddaniel

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

  The ability to select a column to print on a roll. For example instead of saying "You rolled a 7!" it could say "You rolled a Pear!"  

How does this feature request address the current situation?

  Backwards guessgineering the rollable table I'm not exactly sure the roll button is too connected to the table contents, but having the ability to pick a "primary roll column" somewhere above the table copy section and print tostring values from there would greatly improve rollable tables functionality.  

What are other uses for this feature request?

  Maybe if there's an upcoming DM screen thing it could benefit greatly from these, for example roll a random name for x ethnicity. Wink-wink

Just to clarify to whoever gave it -300 without an explanation, this wouldn't take the number version away. It would still say you rolled a 7 if the primary roll column is empty
