After I press a button, I want the macro to randomly select one of the cells (divided by names) based on a value in another cell.
It's easier if I show it:

Hopefully this gives enough to work with.

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
Hi & welcome to MrExcel
How about
Code:
Sub PickRnd()
   Dim rng As Range
   Dim Rw As Long
   Set rng = Range(Choose(Range("I9").Value, "Weapons", "Armour", "Offhand"))
   Rw = Int(rng.Count * Rnd() + 1)
   Range("K10").Value = rng.Cells(Rw, 1)
End Sub

Thanks for the help! It seems to be working for the example I gave, though I'm still trying to figure out how certain parts of the code work so that I can translate it to my other project which uses more lists and more possible values for the "I9".

Just add the other named ranges to the list in the order you want them.
