Not sure how to make tables in my post. Help?

The Guide to Homebrewing (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10313) has a section on making tables, or you could go into another thread and hit Quote on the message containing a table, copy/paste the table code into your message, and modify accordingly.

Also, consider that, while having a table helps, it isn't the end of the world if you don't have one...

Aslong as it's not a mess it's not too bad.

If it is a mess.. well don't be surprised if people don't even bother trying to make sense of it :P

The [tag] is {table] and the column divider is |.

I find an easy way is to find someone elses homebrew and "Quote" their thread. The coding for their table will come up, which can be quite a timesaver if alot of the infomation (such as BAB or saves) are similar to yours.

Tables are easy; to whit:
{table=head]Level|Weak Save|Strong Save|Weak BAB|Average BAB|Strong BAB
1st|+0|+2|+0|+0|+1
2nd|+0|+3|+1|+1|+2
3rd|+1|+3|+1|+2|+3
4th|+1|+4|+2|+3|+4
5th|+1|+4|+2|+3|+5
6th|+2|+5|+3|+4|+6/+1
7th|+2|+5|+3|+5|+7/+2
8th|+2|+6|+4|+6/+1|+8/+3
9th|+3|+6|+4|+6/+1|+9/+4
10th|+3|+7|+5|+7/+2|+10/+5
11th|+3|+7|+5|+8/+3|+11/+6/+1
12th|+4|+8|+6/+1|+9/+4|+12/+7/+2
13th|+4|+8|+6/+1|+9/+4|+13/+8/+3
14th|+4|+9|+7/+2|+10/+5|+14/+9/+4
15th|+5|+9|+7/+2|+11/+6/+1|+15/+10/+5
16th|+5|+10|+8/+3|+12/+7/+2|+16/+11/+6/+1
17th|+5|+10|+8/+3|+12/+7/+2|+17/+12/+7/+2
18th|+6|+11|+9/+4|+13/+8/+3|+18/+13/+8/+3
19th|+6|+11|+9/+4|+14/+9/+4|+19/+14/+9/+4
20th|+6|+12|+10/+5|+15/+10/+5|+20/+15/+10/+5[/table]

Now, quote my post & look at the code. Copy it, if you'd like.

personally I find it easier to quote a real table.

I mean seriously most people would know what the progression for BAB and Good\Poor saves are by heart anyway.

Judging from some of the classes I've seen around here, I'd say that more people need to memorize that chart (or, barring that, at least memorize the formulas that produce that chart). There are 'brewers that think it's okay to just make up a BAB or save progression out of nothing.

Not to mention it can be really hard to keep track of a class's abilities if you don't have it laid out in a chart. What they get when is most easily conveyed with a chart.

And if you're having trouble actually making the class, there's an example of creation here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=4935759).
