Rolling on a table

I hope this is an easy question to answer and I’ve overlooked something basic. How do I make a table I can roll a dice against? For example, I populate a table with 10 numbered elements, and roll d6.  The table gives me a result only from entries 1-6.  I then tell the table to roll d6 +3 and it returns a result from positions 4 to 9. I believe at the moment a rollable table always gives me a random (with optional weighting) entry from the entire set.  I don’t want this.

You are correct about the way RollableTables work. You cant roll dice on a table - every roll is the full spread of the table. You also cant add modifiers - every separate roll relquires a different table. The only way to get what you want is to use a custom scrupt to simulate a table. Roll20's tables are simply a bad implementation of tables, with a lot of drawbacks. I love Roll20, but the one thing I will always take the opportunity to rant about, is just how poorly fit Rollable Tables are for the job people expect of them. It's a shocker to me that they haven't been updated after all these years. There's a very old API script, Real Rollable Tables , that can do rolls with modofiers: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/1408851/" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/1408851/</a> It's old, so i havent recently tested if it still works, but it's worth a try. Also, don't use it alongside Aarons Recursive Tables script - they both use the same command to trigger (!rt) so one of them will need editing if used in the same campaign. Failing that one of Tim's Meta Scripts or ScriptCards can probably do it.
Thanks. i noticed The Aaron offered a correction on the script but there was no further comment by the scriptor. I’ll see how well it works and hopefully feedback :)
