I've been trying to add another extra roll onto my Imps attack:
Sting (Bite in Beast Form). Melee Weapon Attack: [_ rollable]+5;{"diceNotation":"1d20+5","rollType":"to hit","rollAction":"Sting"}[/rollable_] to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 [rollable_](1d4 + 3);{"diceNotation":"1d4+3","rollType":"damage","rollAction":"Sting","rollDamageType":"piercing"}[/rollable_] piercing damage, and the target must make a DC 11 Constitution saving throw, taking 10 [rollable_](3d6);{"diceNotation":"3d6","rollType":"damage","rollAction":"Sting","rollDamageType":"poison"}[/rollable_] poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Roll a [rollable_](1d100);{"diceNotation":"1d100","rollType":"roll","rollAction":"Sting"}[/rollable_], if under 20, the target must succeed on a DC12 constitution roll or be paralyzed. (Repeatable on start of their turn)
(Highlighted is the added one) But for some reason the extra roll doesn't get applied when I press the button.
Since there’s no actual d100 in D&D, I don’t think they programmed one in the rollable. You might have to adjust your idea. You could just make it a d10 and have it trigger the saving throw if the result is a 1 or a 2.
PS- There’s no such thing as a “constitution roll,” it’s either a “Constitution check,” or a “Constitution Saving Throw.”

Try (without the underscores) to use [rollable_]d100;{"diceNotation":"1d100","rollType":"roll","rollAction":"Sting"}[/rollable_], which is the same as your line but it removes the "(1" and ")" from the "(1d100)" at the start. I've just tried it and it works for me.
Edit: That said, [rollable_](1d100);{"diceNotation":"1d100","rollType":"roll","rollAction":"Sting"}[/rollable_] (without the underscores) works for me too - it just displays the button differently, so I'm not sure what your issue was.
So there is a d100?!? Then why in the hell can’t we get a d3?!?
They've added at least one more thing that requires a d3 in the Book of Many Things (the Blasted Goggles). They don't have it rollable digitally, and it's not a common physical dice (not in any official set, anyways). I don't know why they keep using it to reset charges on magical items and such.

I personally like d3s, I just wish DDB would support it, or at least support 1d6/2@roundup (as that is technically RAW).
Goodness, thank you for this, I otherwise would've given up for trying to code this. This coding concept, or at least the instructions for it should be written for the average player, not the average coder.
Frankly this shouldn't be something authors should be dealing with at all - the ideal outcome imo is that the editor should have a button to display a box with all the options as drop-down menus and web form fields. That's why I put the code for mine on GitHub with an open license - I'm very much hoping that the site developers add it! I note that yet another person has written a web form for it in the meantime 😂
Am I missing the code where it allows us to create a roll that would essentially be something like "1d8+DEX" or "3d6+STR" and allow us to pull the character's (or monster's) ability modifiers to add to the rollable tags?

As far as I'm aware, you have to type the numerical value in yourself, there is no "1d8 + DEX" in the code. If the attack is DEX-based (ranged, or finesse with DEX higher than STR), and the DEX Mod is +3 (and Proficiency is +2), then you need to type 1d20 + 5 for the To Hit, and 1d8 + 3 for the Damage.

In addition to what Desmond_Oakenbrand wrote, these rollables only work on Monsters, not anything to do with PCs.
