Need help with a table

[Pax_Chi]

Hey all. I apologize in advance, but I need some help when using the table creation function on this message board.

This is the information I want to put into a table.

Level|BAB|M.Known|M.Readied|Stances|Unarmed|AC-Bonus|Speed|Special
1st|+1|3|3|1|1|1d6|+1|+0 ft. |
2nd|+2|4|3|1|1d6|+1|+0 ft. |Evasion

14th|+14|14|8|3|2d6|+3|+40 ft. |Improved Uncanny Dodge
15th|+15|15|9|4|2d6|+4|+50 ft. |
16th|+16|16|9|4|2d8|+4|+50 ft. |
17th|+17|17|9|4|2d8|+4|+50 ft. |Timeless Body Tongue of Sun and Moon
18th|+18|18|10|4|2d8|+4|+60 ft. |
19th|+19|19|10|4|2d8|+4|+60 ft. |
20th|+20|20|10|5|2d10|+5|+60 ft. |Perfect Body

In order to make it a table, it is my understanding that I'd put "table="head""
in front of "Level" and put "/tabel" at the last line, but replace "" with []. If done right, it should come up as a nice table. What comes out is always:

{table="head"]Level|BAB|M.Known|M.Readied|Stances|Unarmed|AC-Bonus|Speed|Special[/table]{table="head"]

5th|+5|5|5|2|1d8|+2|+10 ft. |Uncanny Dodge
6th|+6|6|5|2|1d8|+2|+20 ft. |
7th|+7|7|6|2|1d8|+2|+20 ft. |
8th|+8|8|6|2|1d10|+2|+20 ft. |
9th|+9|9|7|2|1d10|+2|+30 ft. |Improved Evasion
10th|+10|10|7|3|1d10|+3|+30 ft. |Wholeness of Body
11th|+11|11|7|3|1d10|+3|+30 ft. |
12th|+12|12|8|3|2d6|+3|+40 ft. |
13th|+13|13|8|3|2d6|+3|+40 ft. |Diamond Soul
14th|+14|14|8|3|2d6|+3|+40 ft. |Improved Uncanny Dodge
15th|+15|15|9|4|2d6|+4|+50 ft. |
16th|+16|16|9|4|2d8|+4|+50 ft. |
17th|+17|17|9|4|2d8|+4|+50 ft. |Timeless Body Tongue of Sun and Moon
18th|+18|18|10|4|2d8|+4|+60 ft. |
19th|+19|19|10|4|2d8|+4|+60 ft. |
20th|+20|20|10|5|2d10|+5|+60 ft. |Perfect Body
[/table]

So what am I doing wrong?

Too much information? Stretching the thread out too much?

The first thing that's confusing it would be the quotes around "head". It's just {table=head]. Fix.

The second is that [/table] near the end. You're ending the table early. You're making a one-row table. Delete it!

Your third problem is that extra {table="head"] at the end of that line. Delete as well!

See, three-fourths of the problems were in the first line. The rest's all right. ^_^

[COLOR=black]1st|+1|3|3|1|1|1d6|+1|+0 ft. |[/COLOR]

Your last problem is that you've got 10 columns in the second line of your table and 9 columns every other one. An extra |1| I believe...

And also, why are you making the color black? It's not as if the default font color isn't black already. Is it bolding you're looking for?

Try starting with this and modding it as you wish:

I ignored the special abilities for level 17 cuz I didn't know what you wanted. Do you want them both at level 17? That might stretch the page a bit, be warned.

EDIT: Actually, I guess it won't. The table seems to shrink to fit the page. That's not good. It's making the speed bonuses split onto two lines instead of fitting in one. I'll think of how to fix that. Have to go to school now.

EDIT: Fixed! Make it "Speed Bonus" in the header instead of just "Speed". Trust me. Really have to go now.

A thousand thanks Ultimatum, you are a god amongst me. Thank you, thank you, thank you. :)

No problem. ^_^ Actually, I've been on a lot of phpBB boards before, but tables here are slightly different, so thank Fax_Celestis' examples, which helped me clear up a couple of the issues you were having. {table="head" works on most of the boards I've seen...
