BX Table Maker

EDIT: source now hosted on gitlab. Just download the html file and open it in your preferred browser. That repo is where I'll be putting adaptations for other old-school systems (and probably D&D 3.5/PF 1e too).

Have you come across a cool OSR class but it's only defined as "saves as Cleric, attacks as Fighter" and cross-referencing tables sounds like a chore?
Are you working on a class for your blog and HTML table tags getting you down?

Well I've been there, so I wrote this. It's all in javascript, the processing is all done in your browser. So you can save an offline copy of this page, or right-click & inspect the page source first if you have some noscript extension, and so you can hack it to your liking. Maybe you think clerics should get a spell at 1st level, you want to extend level caps, or you prefer different saving throw categories to the traditional ones.

Note that the raw html output doesn't include the table styling. You can find a copy of it here. I'll return to this and add further instructions for fellow CSS noobs when it's not 12:40am.

Yes, I do intend to adapt this for other versions of D&D and/or retroclones thereof, time permitting.
