Hi what i want to do is simple but it's hard to find due to overlapèping specific terminology used in FG.

i want to make a Table like and Excel's Spreadsheet and i want each cell to roll a certain combination of dice.

For example on the table on pag 31 of 2024 DMG
i would like to roll thos d10s directly (65327)

i do not want a random rollable table i want a Grid of static rolls to choose from

A bonus would be Nested rollable tables inside those cells

The end result would be like a spreadsheet of commonly used rolls/tables
I know i can use the Buttons in the UI to do that but they are too few

Hope i've explained myself!^^

I'm not sure I fully understand to be honest.

Firstly you can't roll dice within a table yourself. Once you place a roll into a table cell then when you roll on the table if that cell gets called then it will roll that dice and produce a random number. So if row 4 column 2 is [2d6] then if a 4 is rolled on the table all the cells in that row will produce a result and column 2 will produce a number between 2 and 12.

You can embed rollable tables within another table. So, in the same scenario as above, if you linked a second table into row 4 column 2 then instead of producing a result of 2-12 it will roll on the secondary table and it will produce a result from whatever you have put into that table.

What I think you are looking for is more of a text table rather than a rollable one which will look more like a spreadsheet and into which you can put whatever numbers you need to produce something akin to what you are looking for (although as I said at the beginning I'm not entirely sure what you want since I don't get what commonly used rolls/tables would look like).

Text tables do not support clickable die rolls. You can however put the text string in the text table cell and drag that to chat to roll.

i.e. "/die 1d10" "/die 18d10" etc
Then grab the text string from the desired cell and drag that to chat and hit enter.

As close as you can get without a rollable table or an extension.

this is exactly what i would like to do..... but clickable and not with the drag'n'drop

Depending on how many you need. For me commonly used means less than 8 to 10 on the list, and I cannot come up with more than 2 off the top of my head that I ever roll that is not already coded into the sheets.

The hot bar can hold dozens of options, so you can just click there to roll which ever dice combination you need.

Then you are going to have to write an extension. The ruleset can not do this the way you want.
edit, you do know that all the commonly used rolls are available from right clicking on the dice themselves? Or left click hold the die and right click to add more of the same die?
