Hey all,
I've re-skinned the 5e ruleset and have run into a snag:
Calculation on random tables doesn't work.
In a table the following: an entry equals [5d6 * 10] ₩ (and any others like it) , puts the equation in the item section of a parcel and doesn't calculate the actual the number of ₩. In essence it's seeing the equation as an item.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Does it work in CoreRPG?
Screenshots?

I don't know or think the asterisk can be used in this sort of table. Usually X is used to multiply.
This 'might' help with use cases.

Thanks LordEntrails, I tried it in the 5e ruleset and it seems to work fine.
(I have a screenshot, but don't seem to see a place to upload it to the forum :(

Thanks Laerun, I get the same result with either an "x" or an "*". It seems to see the equation as text rather than number. AFAIK, I didn't change anything but labels on the character sheets. I've become very familiar with Zacchaeus's tutorial on tables.

This is probably a better question; "where would I find the subroutine that controls tables and parcels? If I get that, then I can compare the original (5E) with my modded version to see if "feces occurred"?
