Parse for Dice

[lolbat]

Does 'Parse for Dice' work with a table roller? And if so, how does one go about referencing it.

I have a table roller that references some other tables to create a mutation with random features.

dice: [[Beastman Mutation^mutation]]|Mutation

Is it possible to reference this inside the stat block so that I can include the mutation and have it formatted as per the style that I made for the Layout?

I've had spotty luck. Sometimes I just put the name of the block I added such as a property line that is named spirit and I "link" the dice to spirit. Some times it renders, other times, it doesn't.

@lolbat , you may want to re-post your question as a Q&A Post rather than discussion.

I have. I actually find the emoji for Q&A a bit offensive and so I am loathe to use it.

The plugin only supports dice that returns numbers.

Also, "Parse for dice" looks for a few specific strings in the text of the property by default, which are described here:

The plugin will then attempt to parse the property content for common dice roll strings. The plugin will parse the following strings by default:

Rolling to hit (+15 to hit)
Damage / healing (19 (2d10 + 8))
A save (Strength +5)

Alternative you can use the dice callback, which allows you to define the dice string it returns.
