Roll Tables "Weight" Attribute

Is the "Weight" attribute on roll tables a percentile? If I make a table with the following: zombie - weight 100 corpse1 - weight 1 corpse2 - weight 1 corpse3 - weight 1 corpse4 - weight 1 corpse5 - weight 1 Will it, if it's set to zombie, change to a random corpse from one of the 5 options and, if it's set to one of the 5 corpses, always revert back to zombie?

The weight is relative and proportional. Items have a default weight of 1, and roll20 adds up the weight of all items in the table. Your table has a total weight of 105. Zombies would be rolled 100/105 times, and each corpse would have a chance to roll of 1/105. If you need a percentile table for some reason, make sure all the weights add up to exactly 100.

As a side note, once a Rollable Table Token is generated, the token’s sides all have a weight of 1 (technically, there is no weight, just an ordered collection of images).

You could probably come up with a formula to use with TokenMod if you’re wanting to weight the sides. For example if you wanted to set a random corpse given the above list of sides: !token-mod --set current_side|[[1d5+1]]

Right now I just have 6 tables with 2 entries, a zombie and a unique corpse image to vary the corpses. I just thought maybe I could handle it all in one table and randomize the corpses a little, but with the intention that if the side was set to a corpse, it would ALWAYS turn to the zombie side of the token.

Well what you could do is set the table with side 1 being the zombie and the other 5 being the corpses, then use aarons macro to randomize which corpse side shows (since the result would always be atleast a 2) then just have a transform macro to set the token side to 1 when it goes zombie, if you wanted a chance at it being a zombie from the start you there are some slightly more complicated things that might work
