What sort of class? 5e?

For a 5e class, this is how you add extra columns. You see some parameters that start with "extra1" and are numbered 1-20, for every level of the class? You'd follow the same format, by following "extra1_20" with "extra2_1" and going down the line until you have filled out values for extra2 up to extra2_20. If you wanted to add columns on the left of the features column instead of on the right, you'd change "extrasonleft=" from its default (blank) to saying "extrasonleft=1" or 2, or 3, etc. and you'd put that many columns on the left.

For a 3.5e or Pathfinder class, you'd follow the format given in the existing premade columns such as "! rowspan="2" | [[#Maximum Power Level Known|Maximum Power<br/>Level Known]]". Instead of "Maximum Power Level Known" you'd right whatever you want your column to be describing. Now, here's the complicated part. You'll want to scroll down until you can see this:

|1st|| class="left" | + || + || + || +

| class="left" | <-any class features gained at this level->

|—||—||—||—||—||—||—||—||—||—

|—||—||—

I know this looks complicated, but bear with me. What you'll want to do is make sure that there are as many value entries (things in between a pair of vertical bars | |) as you have columns which you want to use. If there are too many or too few, your class table will come out looking messed-up, so be careful. So add or subtract | | entries until you have the correct number. Keep in mind that if your class can cast spells, it has one column for each level of spell it can possibly cast, which can really add up for, say, a wizard who can cast 0 through 9th level spells, because that adds up to ten columns already. Now, instead of leaving an entry blank, write the value you want that column to possess for that level in between the two vertical bars. Do this with every column, and repeat the process for every level up to 20th. You now should have a functional class table. Based Quincy (talk) 14:13, 28 April 2019 (MDT)
