Penalty table

I completely agree with Derekt75, no need for two copies of the same table. But I think the OTHER table, the one that was deleted, is better than the one we kept. Maybe we should swap them around or combine their designs to make an even better super table? Blackcustard 22:39, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
Here are the differences that I remember:
  • different order of columns
  • different placement in article
  • deleted table had a last column that contained a "-4" for every special spell
I figured that the column order didn't matter, and that the -4 was indicated in the text immediately preceding the table, so I chose the table that had the newer placement. Were there other differences that I missed? Is the "-4" useful? Was the previous column order useful? Derekt75 23:49, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
I had missed that the deleted table had more links. I added some links to the existing table (including having Int go directly to intelligence rather than a disambig page). It's fine with me if you want to replace this table with the older one, though; to me they're both the same. Derekt75 00:03, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
Actually I was mostly reacting to the annoying abbreviations, e.g. "EMERG". I patched that up and the new table is now perfect. You found a couple other good changes to make I hadn't noticed. For the record, you can look at the deleted table in the page's history, no need to go on memory. Blackcustard 23:30, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
