Result table?

I would like to be able to throw dices on a rollable table and show the resulting text/image. Something like:  /roll 1d20t[result-table]    (result-table having 20 entries). Is it something possible, maybe with the help of macros?   
If I understand it, if you have a table with 20 entries of equal weight, then a call to the table is, essentially, rolling 1d20 on the table. 
You want Rollable Tables. <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/85704/#post-85704" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/85704/#post-85704</a> :-)
Sorry, i was not very clear... I would like to show a pre-determined result on a table, not a random result.&nbsp; Let me take an example for what i'm looking for: I'm playing with the FATE rules. The result table is (11 entries): +6 Legendary +5 Epic +4 Superb +3 Great +2 Good +1 Fair 0 Average -1 Mediocre -2 Poor -3 Terrible -4 Abysmal Say a player with a good ability in shooting (+2) draws a +1 on FATE dices. I'd like to have a "formula" to show the result "Great" (+3)&nbsp; to the player.&nbsp; In short, i don't want to randomize a result from the table, but to show the result of a preceding draw (+3 is always "Great"). &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;
Hmm, ok that doesn't work too easily. Maybe with the API that's being tested ont he Dev server it works. What you can do is figure out the various chances for 0,+1,+2, etc and then make your own tables with that. Has been a while till I saw how FATE works, but you roll 4 dice with 2x -1, 2x +1 and 2x 0 on it, don't you?
Yes, the outcome of each FATE dice can only be -1, 0 or +1. So with 4 dices, it can vary from -4 to +4.&nbsp; If one of my player has a +1 ability, i'd like to say "throw the dices on this ability" and if the result is +3 for example, the result of "superb" should show in the chat. In fact, it's like "choosing" a result on a table, not "rolling" on it. &nbsp;I'm afraid this is not possible for the moment... &nbsp;
No like you want it's not possible. You can however make a table. -4 and +4 with weight 1, -3 and +3 with weight 4, -2 and +2 with 10, -1 and +1 with 16 and 0 with 19 Simulates the probabilties of rolling 4 dice without a modifier. You can write -4 as (-4) Abysmal etc. Then you make a table for +1 modifier, it just shifts everything up by one. So -3 and +5 now have wieght 1, -2 and +4 are weight 4 etc. Repeat for +2, +3 etc modifier. Sure it's not exaclty the same as actually rolling 4 fate dice, the endresult is the same, but it looks different so people may not like it.
Thanks Quatar! you're right., this sort of thing is not possible for the moment... Nevermind, my game is playable, i only have to wait, maybe the awesome devs will add this sort of things in the future.&nbsp; Greetings from France! :)
