simple roll script request weighting which dice it will roll

Roll20, I wish to have a macro that rolls either a 1d4, 1d5, or 1d6, weighted to a d4.  I tried [[1d[[1d6min4]] ]] but it seems to always roll a 1. I looked in the Wiki but didn't find anything similar. Any ideas? Thanks

You mean you want it to roll a die with a random number of sides, with most of them being a d4? What sort of ratio of sides do you want. e.g. for a ratio of d4:d5:d6, should it be 2:1:1, 3:1:1, etc?

Hey Scott C.,  Based on the way you stated your follow-up, my thought would be a six sided dice with three of the sides being 4. So d4, d4, d4, d5, d6.  Does this make sense?

1d6min4 isn't a valid syntax.&nbsp; I have a script called WeightDie that creates Rollable Tables weighted to a particular number, which looks similar.&nbsp; It would generate things like d6min4 which you would use like: [[ 1t[d6min4] ]] Which would have 4 in 6 chance of being 4, 1 in 6 of 5, and 1 in 6 of 6. You could combine that with what you have above like this: [[ 1d[[1t[d6min4] ]] ]] Here's the script:&nbsp;<a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/950142/script-weighted-dice-automated-rollable-table-creation-with-proper-statistical-distribution-for-minimum-rolls" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/950142/script-weighted-dice-automated-rollable-table-creation-with-proper-statistical-distribution-for-minimum-rolls</a>

So d4, d4, d4, d5, d6.&nbsp; Does this make sense? so, that accounts for 5 sides. what about the 6th? Assuming that you wanted 4 sides to be a d4, and then a d5, and a d6, you could use Aaron's script method, or do the following macro: [[1d[[{4d1,1d6}kh1]]]]

Thank you Scott, I can usually follow what the macro is doing, but not this time. 4d1 means it is rolling 4 one sided dice right? How does this create what it does?

Also, thank you Aaron!

Basically 4d1 is the constant 4 in dice format. You can't mix numbers and dice in a { } group, so this lets it work next to the 1d6. The practical upshot is it will be 4 unless the d6 is a 5 or 6. Then that value feeds into the outer roll.&nbsp;

Ah that makes sense. Thank you for the coding lesson!
