Hi folks, and welcome to today's edition of 'Jeff's not smart enough to figure this out...' :rv: (an ongoing series that will probably have a TON of entries!)
I'm working on a set of custom random monster generation tables, and I need to make several tables that are similar but have some minor differences (mostly in numbers of monsters appearing). My plan was to get the first one done, then duplicate it into a second table and adjust the numbers to where I wanted them; this way I wouldn't have to recreate the whole table, just adjust the numbers and at the end I'd have both my original table and the new modified one. Keep doing that, and I've got all the tables I need without having to type everything in for all of them.
Trouble is, while I've found references to dragging an existing table to an empty table to duplicate it, I can't quite figure out how to make this work in practice. Is this possible? If so, assuming I'm correct about dragging/dropping to an empty table, what exactly do I drag?
The tables are set to output to encounters - does this matter? Does it only work, say, in tables that output to chat?
If it doesn't work like that, is there a way to duplicate a table?
