Hmmm, what do you think? --Dave Garber 02:02, 8 February 2007 (CST)

Ewww, ugly (no offense). Made some images because it looks better. Also.. ASS -> ASN, and PRI -> PRS. And I hope you don't mind I put them all in alphabetical order, instead of sorted by prc. I mean, it's easier to find something when listed alpbabetically.
I used Arial Black, size 14, normal, no anti-aliasing, on a 40x15 jpg file, and then totated 90 deg clockwise (putting this here so I don't forget it for next time).
You choose whether you like the small font better, or the images. Or maybe both. I don't like the way you did it.. Anyhow, small text doesn't fill the column, and an image can only link to itself, so I didn't know which would be better. --Llanor 06:11, 8 February 2007 (CST)
Ah! *lol* Yes, it does look much much much nicer with either of your suggestions--either the small font or the images. I'm not sure which of these two I like better at this moment; I'm leaning toward the small font because it would take less work to change as new classes are added but I'm not sure. Thanks for your corrections! I considered sorting these classes alphabetically; however, I also thought that people who are considering a PRC might want to see which skills they would gain/lose if they did so--and that grouping these classes together would make this comparison easier. But, after more thought, you're right--alphabetizing them would be better, overall. Perhaps background color could be used somehow to group PRCs together with their core class; hmmm... *scratchhead* --Dave Garber 15:48, 8 February 2007 (CST)

Hmmm, perhaps this would be somewhat better...

Hmmm, are the colors annoying? --Dave Garber 17:50, 8 February 2007 (CST)

They sure are. Were. I changed it >_< The colours ought to make the table more functional, or make it look better. With so many different colours the functionality drops to near zero, so they're just for show. Reverting changes is easy, so I figured I'd just edit this. It's only colours, anyhow :) --Llanor 18:59, 8 February 2007 (CST) (EDIT: I like it. We should use it like this. I had made all the images, and only then did I come up with the idea of using a smaller font, and it fits perfectly :P)

It's definitely more attractive that way. Yep, I think that the gain in attractiveness is worth the loss in color-grouping PRCs with their core classes. Oh, well... :D --Dave Garber 19:03, 8 February 2007 (CST)
