Class Editing Instructions[edit]

Replace any placeholder (the text starting with <!-- and ending with -->) with your own descriptive text. Any text within <!-- --> comments will be hidden from view, and won't work properly on the article page.

Be sure to double check the categories ([[Category:]]) at the bottom of the page, to make sure you don't need to remove any additional lines. The categories allow readers to navigate to your page.

Lastly, be sure to use the Preview button at the bottom to view your page before saving to check for errors and mistakes.

Advanced Options[edit]

This template supports several advanced layout options, but most of these require additional properties and special formatting of the "3.5e Class Simple" template. Examples are spoilered here if you would like to use them. Additional forms are also possible by tweaking those described here, but their explanation is beyond the scope of these instructions.

Adding Spells per Day
You will need to add two properties not included in the preload, and make your |special1= entries longer so that they are treated as extra cells. For clarity, these lines should be added before the |special1= line.

Here's an example:

|specialhead1= colspan="10" {{!}} Spells
|specialhead2=  0  {{!!}} 1<sup>st</sup> {{!!}} 2<sup>nd</sup> {{!!}} 3<sup>rd</sup> {{!!}} 4<sup>th</sup> {{!!}} 5<sup>th</sup> {{!!}} 6<sup>th</sup> {{!!}} 7<sup>th</sup> {{!!}} 8<sup>th</sup> {{!!}} 9<sup>th</sup>
|special1= <!-- special abilities at level # --> {{!!}} — {{!!}} — {{!!}} — {{!!}} — {{!!}} — {{!!}} — {{!!}} — {{!!}} — {{!!}} — {{!!}} — 
|special2= <!-- special abilities at level # --> {{!!}} — {{!!}} — {{!!}} — {{!!}} — {{!!}} — {{!!}} — {{!!}} — {{!!}} — {{!!}} — {{!!}} — 
|special3= <!-- special abilities at level # --> {{!!}} — {{!!}} — {{!!}} — {{!!}} — {{!!}} — {{!!}} — {{!!}} — {{!!}} — {{!!}} — {{!!}} — 
...

Replace the " — " above with numbers appropriate for the spell slots at any give level. If you are not using spells up to 9th level for the class, you may remove 1 set of {{!!}} <--stuff--> for each unused spell level from the "specialhead2" and "special#" lines to remove the unused columns from the table.


Adding Psionics
You will need to add two properties not included in the preload, and make your |special1= entries longer so that they are treated as extra cells. For clarity, these lines should be added before the |special1= line.

Here's an example:

|specialhead1= rowspan="2" {{!}} Power<br/>Points/Day {{!!}} rowspan="2" {{!}} Powers<br/>Known {{!!}} rowspan="2" {{!}} Maximum Power<br/>Level Known
|special1= <!-- special abilities at level # --> {{!!}} — {{!!}} — {{!!}} — 
|special2= <!-- special abilities at level # --> {{!!}} — {{!!}} — {{!!}} — 
|special3= <!-- special abilities at level # --> {{!!}} — {{!!}} — {{!!}} — 
...

Replace the " — " above with numbers appropriate for the column at any give level.


Adding Martial Maneuvers
You will need to add two properties not included in the preload, and make your |special1= entries longer so that they are treated as extra cells. For clarity, these lines should be added before the |special1= line.

Here's an example:

|specialhead1= rowspan="2" {{!}} Maneuvers<br />Known {{!!}} rowspan="2" {{!}} Maneuvers<br />Readied {{!!}} rowspan="2" {{!}} Stances<br/>Known
|special1= <!-- special abilities at level # --> {{!!}} — {{!!}} — {{!!}} — 
|special2= <!-- special abilities at level # --> {{!!}} — {{!!}} — {{!!}} — 
|special3= <!-- special abilities at level # --> {{!!}} — {{!!}} — {{!!}} — 
...

Replace the " — " above with numbers appropriate for the column at any give level.


Adding ToP Skills
The template also supports ToP skill listings (because I wrote both of them and wanted to support it here for my own stuff). You can add ToP skills to the class by adding the following parameters after the "skills" parameter, and filling in appropriately:
|ToPskillpoints= <!-- number of skill points under ToP -->
|ToPskills= <!-- list of ToP class skills, separated by commas -->

Additionally, such classes are generally marked with the {{ToP Compliant}} template above the class table, in the "Making a X" section.
