Rollable Table Questions

I've got a couple of questions I need help with concerning rollable tables. 1. Within my Rollable Table options (as shown in the graphic link here:&nbsp; <a href="https://images2.imgbox.com/1f/52/y88V4xlw_o.png" rel="nofollow">https://images2.imgbox.com/1f/52/y88V4xlw_o.png</a> ), is it possible to include dice rolls directly inside the table entries so they produce inline roll results in chat? If so, what syntax or characters are required to make that work? 2. In the Macro window (and yes I misspelled 'Cannon' for the macro name which has been later corrected), I’m currently using [[1t[Cannon]]] to reference the specific “Cannon” rollable table based on what I found online. However, it causes the entire result to appear highlighted in yellow in the chat. Is there an alternative approach that would display the result as plain text without the yellow highlighting? I appreciate any help with this.

Since you are Pro you can use the RecursiveTable API by The Aaron that allows Rollable Tables which have inline rolls within them This is the syntax required&nbsp; !rt[Delimiter:BR] &amp;{template:default}{{name=Loot}} {{Coins=[[1t[Gold]]]}} This is the table This is a youtube video by the legendary Nick Olivo that provides guidance how to implement and use <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzR_PNZTb5U&amp;t=222s" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzR_PNZTb5U&amp;t=222s</a>

I appreciate any help with this. I am not sure about the second question, perhaps someone more experienced can help. It seems by your image, your macro will use the following command to send to text - -[[1t[Cannon]]&nbsp; - I think that since this is placed between double brackets, Roll20 will treat this as a roll template / inline roll output , not just plain text which results to the yellow highlight as the system tries to resolve the whole text within. The API i recommended above will fix this and get a nice clean text

Hi Rob,&nbsp; Regarding your second question, which character sheet(s) are you using in your game?&nbsp;

Hey Gauss, I'm using the 2014 OG Character sheets since the newer version character sheet is harder to use the existing Roll20 macros on.
Thanks, Viggo for sharing your inputs and for sharing the Recursive Table API (by The Aaron). I'll give that a try.

Excellent, some of the D&amp;D 5e 2014 templates will strip out the inline's yellow. npcaction is a good one for this.&nbsp; Example:&nbsp; &amp;{template:npcaction} {{rname=Rollable Table test}} {{description=[[1t[FumbMelee]]]}}
I will give that a shot. Thanks so much, Gauss!
