So, I wanted to create a, well several but I started with this one, chaos themed spell, so I looked at how chaos bolt is set up and tried to emulate that with my own spell even including the table, and yet I think I've missed something. When I roll chaos bolt, it rolls only the dice in the description despite having all the damage types listed, each with the 2d8 damage (if I could paste images I would show you, but if you look at the spell from within a character sheet, you can see the damages all listed). Having set mine up in a similar way, it instead rolls all the dice for all the damage types.
So if anybody is able to help me correct my spell to work the way chaos bolt does, I figure I'm missing something from the setup of chaos bolt that restricts which damage type is actually rolled, that would be greatly appreciated.
Bonus points if it works as nicely with beyond20 as chaos bolt does :)
If you want any additional information please just ask, I will do my best to answer any questions and I'm happy to test out ideas that you may have, thank you in advance.
Because I don't have access to chaos bolt on here and I can't afford buy the books in multiple places, sadly
It may have made things easier if I were able to do that, but there must be a way of sing it so it works and I'd rather learn and know what that is than just having a spell that just works somehow, if that makes sense?

Why didn’t you just use chaos Bolt as a template so you would know it works identically?
