Blind Roll on Table?

[MaxAstro]

Is there a way to have a player roll on a table without sharing the whole table with them and thus letting them see the contents?

Obviously I can just roll for them but I like letting my players roll their own dice when possible.

No. The table record has to be available to the client to be rolled on; otherwise, the data isn't available to report.

It would require an extension to make some sort of "table remote roll to GM"; and then you'd need to be able to identify the table without any data (i.e. database reference or table name).

Alternatively a way for the GM to create a "table roll link" that contains just the necessary information, such as the name of the table and what dice to roll, but I can see how that would be a fair bit of work to implement.

I should look into learning to make extensions at some point...

Just have them roll the appropriate dice and you can lookup the table?

That's what I'm doing right now, it's just convenient to have the automatic output to chat.

I suppose something else that would solve my problem would be if there was a way to drag a specific table entry to chat.

Dragging into chat works for me

If you have Show DM rolls set to on then the players will see the results in chat when you roll on the table. If you have that set to off then you can middle mouse click over the text in chat to 'broadcast' the result to players. And as damned says above you can drag individual table entries to chat (click and hold over the text and drop into chat).
