But in the D&D world this is all done by dice, naturally.So if red is 3 times more likely to come up that say 3 other colors then you'll have something like this1 yellow2 black3 orange4-6 redWhat Therig said about rerolling on the same table will work but the number 17 is wrong for the adjective table because some of those are 2 times more likely to come up, I count 26 instead.As to suggested methods of getting it to work, here is what I would do for that table.- Remove blue, then you have 25 numbers to worry about.- Make your table roll 1d100.Then here is your table:1-4,black5-8,red9-12,green13-16,yellow** moved from the bottom to make the math easier17-20,dark21-24,shadow25-28,death29-36,bleeding37-44,bloody45-52,cracked53-60,crooked61-68,dead69-76,dripping77-84,flaming85-92,jagged93-100,rottingThe 1s from before all have a 4% chance of appearing on a d100, the 2s have a 8% chance of appearing, this balances.You would then do the same for the noun table, I usually use d100 since it makes my math simpler. Then your main table will have something like this1 adjective table2 noun tableThere doesn't appear to be an easier way, you will have to renumber them anyway since your output isn't numbered at all. I suspect from what you posted that tablesmith does some automatic building for these tables. Whereas I can only guess but etools does it that way so that you can print out your tables in a method that can be used at the table. In other words it doesn't require you to be running it on a laptop to be useful. Which I personally find useful, but YMMV.Etools also doesn't appear to concatenate words at all, I noticed this when playing with the random name table that someone from Fluid built and posted on their boards. Maybe they'll add this, I recall this being mentioned there, but am not sure in what context.</blockquote>
