Random Monster Table Not Working

**Furio74** · February 19th, 2018, 00:03

I created a random monster table, with die related numbers, but when I run it, I only get 1 instance of any monster (where there should be a random die number, like 1d6). Please advise.

I'm not that familiar with random tables. Did you follow the process outlined in the wiki? https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/index.php/Tables

Yes, I have followed the syntax for the Wiki as far as I can see. Please advise if I have done otherwise. Here are the sreenshots of the Wiki as well.

If you look at the [RESULT] posted to the chat window, it is correctly randomizing the number of creatures. (i.e. "1" Silver Dragon Wyrmling, "5" Troglodyte)

Please note, you have your output of your custom table set to "Chat", so the output will go straight to the chat window with the link included.

If you want to generate an encounter, you will need to change the output to "Enc".

It is not, that is just the result of the die roll (ex. the first roll was a 1, then second 5), it is not the random die roll for those.

There is a new random encounter screen accessed from Encounters. That works.

Change your output to "Encounter".

The screenshot here is showing the table output as chat. Try it with "Enc" as mentioned by Moon Wizard and Andraax.

I just tried that and get only 1 instance of each thing I roll in the Encounter as output. Please see screenshot.

Try "[1d6x] Silver Dragon Wyrmling"

The "x" is what indicates you want a multiple, instead of just a random number.

Apologies I didn't notice that part earlier.
