Suppress Dice Total

I have a game which requires a dice pool, with dice sorted in order. Using 8d6s in roll20 does that, but then also reports a a massive number which is the sum of those dice. That's a distraction - is there any way (without using API which i wont have access to) to suppress that, or replace it with something less distracting?
I'd go with something like: [[1d6]], [[1d6]], [[1d6]], [[1d6]], [[1d6]], [[1d6]], [[1d6]], [[1d6]] entered into the command line. It's not going to come out sorted, but it will display just the result of each individual die without summing up the total. Another alternative would be to use rollable tables outputting tokens to simulate rolling dice on the tabletop - I have some usable pngs over here if you're interested. Using the rollable tables allows you to manually sort the dice on the tabletop as you would in real life.

No, there is no way to suppress the Dice Total at this time.

Thanks. Great images Dave, nice and clean. I may use that method for one of my games. What are the permissions like of tokens created from a table roll? If a player triggers a macro that rolls on the table, can they then move the tokens created? Can anyone else move them?
/r ?{Dice Pool}d6s>7 This will give you "0 Successes" as the result might be less distracting then seeing random numbers pop up. [[?{Dice Pool}d6s>7]] This will work for dice pools of size 14 or smaller don't know how large the pools get in your game. But this looks very clean in chat just puts a 0 in an inline yellow box showing you got 0 successes but when you hover your mouse over it will show you the sorted individual dice, the only problem is after 14 or so dice it cuts the rest off and you can't see them.

That ">7" method is the version I'm using now, but it's a bit clunky, I wish there was a toggle in settings to stop the addition.

Tokens created from a table are just like other tokens except that they can be rolled. You can assign multiple players to control them etc. They can be moved.
