Numbers in rollable table items

I noticed that if you have an entry like this in a rollable table: "+2 to Strength or Dexterity" it displays in the chat as simply "2". This is easy to workaround by changing the plus symbol to "Add" or something similar, but I was wondering if there is a general way to make sure a rollable table item is output as just a text string. Thanks!

Hi Jan, The name of each table item is a string by default.  Are you placing the table roll in your macro within an inline roll by chance?  ie [[1t[table-name]]] Doing so forces chat to interpret the table as a roll which only allows normal roll syntax usage. The text would be ignored.

Not a problem to make sure to start every table item with words if there's no workaround, I was just curious.

Hi Jan! Yeah, if you want anything other than numerical output, it needs to start with an alphabetical character. This is why converted modules have entries like "Goblins (2)" rather than "2 Goblins".
