I've added features to my Monster Builder (http://dspeyer.dyndns.org/monster_builder.html). Specifically, it now calculates recommended CRs four ways and recognizes most relevant feats. Enjoy.

That's very weird.

What browsers are you using? Is there an error message in the javascript console?

Internet Explorer. How quaint.

I don't have easy access to a Windows box, so I can't really investigate this. Presumably I'm using some bit of javascript it doesn't support. If you can figure out what it is, I can try to work around it. Alternatively, download firefox or chrome.

One request: Please, change to [Table=head] in the GitP code.

[Table=head]Cake|Cost
Chocolate|203
Vanilla|110
Marshmellow|2

looks much better than

Cake|Cost
Chocolate|203
Vanilla|110
Marshmellow|2

don't you agree?

As for the actual features, I'll whip something up and see what it's like in use. At a first glance it seems pretty nice - at the very least, it removes the threat of forgetting a line in the stat block.

=head makes sense for tables that *have a header row*. If I wrote a class builder, I would certainly use it. It doesn't make any sense here. Look at the example result earlier in the thread. Why should size/type be a different color?

The header should be the name of the creature; and please change Level Adjustment to an em dash since that looks bad and probably violates the ToS on this board.
