How to Keep Some Dice, and roll others

I'm attempting to port a "press your luck" dice game into Roll20, and I have a question. They game uses multiple custom d6's. The players roll their dice, choose to keep or discard some, and re-roll the discarded dice a couple of times. I've made a rollable table for the custom dice, but I have no idea how the players would choose which dice to keep or re-roll. Is this something I can do in Roll20?

Since you have rollable tables for the custom dice, I would do the following. Turn each rollable table into a token so there is a virtual die on the table. You can select all or some of the dice by dragging a square around them. Right click a list of options will be there choose random side. Those selected dice will be rolled. You can place the dice you don't want to re-roll off to the side, and only roll the dice you want to.
Thanks for the replies. With your help I was able to figure it out. I've got the custom dice up and running. It's just a bunch of busy work now. I have a lot of cards to scan. Which gives rise to another question: are there any copyright issues scanning the cards from a commercial business game and using them on Roll20? Thanks, Keith

For personal use in your personal campaign (with whatever aquaintences are in your games), that should never be a problem. If you own the game, it's meant for you to play it with your friends Copyright infringement would only become an issue if you distribute the scanned cards to others for other games you aren't in. The risk of this is basically the reason why Roll20 doesn't let us copy assets from someone else's campaign.
Great! Thank you.
