Odds for tables

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

In the current system, every option in the item has the same odds. In some situations, it would be preferable to set odds for every roll.  

How does this feature request address the current situation?

By adding odds to the table, you can say that some options on the table are more common than others. E.g. a table for pocket dimensions in clothing:
  • 3x3m of saltwater - 30%
  • 3x3m of freshwater - 15%
  • 2x2m of plains -20%
  • 2x2m of plains with a civilization of miniature people, about 100x smaller than normal humans - 1%
  • 3x3m of molten magma - 2%
  • 2.5x2m of cavern - 28%
  • 3x3m of mimic -3%
  • 2x2m of void - 0.5%
  • 3x3m of wormhole - 0.5%
 

What are other uses for this feature request?

No real other options for this, it's just a feature addition.

I assume you are talking about Interactive tables.   Then this is already possible: Guide on Tables.   Just use a roll column and assign the ranges to each of them.

Hmm I see that that's something I missed. That seems to work as well.

Though it would be nice to have as a percentage instead of assigning the rolls manually.

Its functionally equivalent and more flexible this way. The alternative would be to have weights instead. Though I don't see how that would be instead of assigning the rolls manually. You always have to set the probability manually. It can't know them automatically...

Yeah fair, guess I need to add a request for users to be able to close their own suggestions ;)
