D&D 5e (although I suspect this is a universal question)

I have a table which has a complicated result...

on a d10, if the player rolls a 10, they roll twice more... BUT... if they roll a 10 on either of the new rolls, they get nothing

I made my little table, I made the value for 10 as such:
[2x][Reckless Casting, Cantrip]

Which rolls on the same table again, twice.

The only solution I've come to is to duplicate the table, except have 10 yield "EVERYTHING FAILS" or some such. Is there a more elegant way to do this?

Also... #2. Is there a way to trigger a table roll from a spell or power?

The way I did it is to duplicate the second table with a result of 10 on the second table being everything fails as you say.

Question 2: No; there isn't a way to trigger a table roll apart from rolling on the table. As you have discovered you can link tables together and you can use Story Templates to roll the tables but otherwise you have to click the dice in the table to roll on it.

What you are working on will be available soon via the FG store.
