The books are full of rollable tables - it would be great if these were actually integrated into gameplay. The simplest thing, just allowing us to roll the correct die in the compendium, is a start, but the really useful feature would be to allow the DM to send a table to the game log for a player to roll. I like to have the players roll on a table even if they don't know what they're rolling for. There would have to be a couple options to handle all the use cases. Sometimes you would want full view permissions, so the result rolled could just be displayed in the game log for the players. Other times, the DM would want to obscure the results and only see the result themselves. I think this would fit well with a larger game log revamp I hope we get someday, in which we are allowed to post things to it. As a DM, I would like to share lots of stuff to the game log, for example, the art in the books, read-out-loud text boxes, links to rules, etc.
