Macro Request to replace a 1 for an 8

I had given my rogue player a weapon that when they roll a 1 on their sneak attack, it would be replaced with an 8. What is a good macro I can use to do this? I have done macros for smite in the past in the Global damage modifier but I have no idea how to replace a number with another number. Thanks ahead of time.

The best way to reflect a custom die is usually to use a rollable table... for a d6 with the 1 being an 8 for example you'd have 6 entries all weighted 1: 2 3 4 5 6 8 And call it via x t[customd6] (or whatever you name the table).

Its not really a custom die though, I just want to replace a value rolled (1) into another value (8) when it happens in sneak attack (which is in global damage modifier)... I genuinely don't know how a table would do this but I also don't know exactly how to make a table.

Nevermind, I figured it out - Doesnt exactly replace the 1s with 8s but it just gets rid of 1 in place of 8, which works as well. Thanks!

Think of it as a standard d6 with an 8 on one side instead of the 1... not only is it a custom die but it is also replacing 1s with 8s ;) Glad you got the hang of it though, happy sneak attacking!
