A classic game, recently in the news -- https://www.ign.com/articles/dc-universe-all-star-games-rpg-dc-heroes-freddie-prinze-jr-sam-witwer
I'd love to use this system and have players that are clamoring for it, but my main problem is that it's (at my level of technical ability) impossible to automate due to the heavy reliance on tables, etc. Has anyone ever worked up a sheet or other support materials for the game, especially that would be usable in Roll20?
Looks like there is already a DC Heroes sheet on github, but I don't know if it is the exact same system: https://github.com/Roll20/roll20-character-sheets/tree/master/DC_Heroes_MEGS
That's definitely the system I mean. I made a custom sheet of my own a while back, though this one looks nicer! The main issue with using it is that every single roll requires the use of an action table and a result table, and I was vaguely (and somewhat vainly, I'm sure) hoping that someone might have an idea how to automate that in Roll20.
(I'm totally keeping that updated sheet, though. Thanks for sharing it!)
I posted that part of the question over on the API board, since it probably fits better over there: https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/8151776/can-it-be-done-api-to-create-automated-table-lookup/?pageforid=8151776#post-8151776
If it relies on tables, can't you just create rollable tables and use them? Then integrate the option to use tables for roll on the character sheet(that would still mean people would need to create the tables by hand when they create a new game, or use an API to quickly generate them).

Since it requires a table lookup, rollable tables are useless for this - you are returning a specific result based on two different values.
