I'm simplifying the D&D 5e Treasure Tables for my campaign and have created my own tables for finding spell components. I have Spell Component tables created for 25 gp, 50 gp, 100 gp, and 250 gp.

My problem is when I try to do a Treasure Hoard, which references the Spell Component tables. I copied the format from the existing DMG Hoard tables and here is where my problem child is:

[25 gp Spell Components][2x][50 gp Spell Components][2x][100 gp Spell Components][250 gp Spell Components]

The intent is 1 roll on the 25 gp, 2 rolls on the 50 and 100 gp, and 1 roll on the 250 gp tables. Instead, FGU rolls twice on the 25 and 50 and once on the 100 and 250. When I try to move the [2x] around, to this:

[25 gp Spell Components][50 gp Spell Components][2x][100 gp Spell Components][2x][250 gp Spell Components]

It still gives me the same rolls (twice on 25 and 50, once on 50 and 100).

Is there a limit to the number of other tables you can reference in a single table? Or am I missing something?

If you're using [#x], you will need to use for all of them:

[1x][25 gp Spell Components][2x][50 gp Spell Components][2x][100 gp Spell Components][1x][250 gp Spell Components]

One can also use the story templates to tie into several table types. You can have several tables and reference other tables with syntax.
It is a bit more 'advanced,' but it can give you more options to reference and call upon several tables simultaneously.
This video series is older, but the functionality was incorporated into the FG platform.
