  I take it you want something like:
  table{width:25%}.
  {background:#ddd}. |Number|Die Type|
  |0 or 1|Nothing|
  |2 or 3|d4|
  |4 or 5|d6|
  |6 or 7|d8|
  |8 or 9|d10|
  
  which is created with the following code:
  ==table{width:25%}.==
  =={background:#ddd}. |Number[1]|Die Type|==
  ==|0 or 1|Nothing|==
  ==|2 or 3|d4|==
  ==|4 or 5|d6|==
  ==|6 or 7|d8|==
  ==|8 or 9|d10|==
  
  The top row's background doesn't seem to work here in the forums, but it works in a "wiki":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/fronos/wikis/dice. If you have any questions about this feel free to ask.

  Thanks for your response! This is the code I used, and the table itself looks great but it's the massive amount of space it puts between the paragraph before the table and the table itself that I can't figure out how to fix. I'm not really proficient with writing any type of code so maybe there is something wrong with how I've done it.

  Unfortunately Obsidian Portal does some weird things with HTML tags sometimes and in this case that's what's happening. In your attempt to make the _code_ look nice your _page_ suffers. In other words, it is picking up all of your returns that you are using to make the code look good and placing them before your table in the page. To fix this you only need to change your code to this:
  
  

 LVL 
 BAB 
 F
 R 
 W 
 AC 
 Special 

 1st 
 +1 
 +0 
 +2 
 +0 
 +1 
 Bravado, Panache, Weapon Finesse 



  
  But as you can see, that is a lot harder to read when editing files, it will get rid of all that extra space, however.
  
  Furthermore, if you have your paragraph text, or whatever it is, and then have an empty space in your code before starting the table, that will generate a lot of empty space in the page too. You can just start the table tag in the _very next_ line after your text to get rid of a lot of space as well.
  
  If you have problems with any of that let me know.

  Ah! I see what you're saying. I never would have put that together. Thank you very much! I'll give it a shot.

  I had some of the same issues and my coding skills are meager at best, my work around was to do the chart in excel, print it to pdf, convert the pdf to a jpeg, then crop the jpeg and upload to my pic's on the portal, then insert on your page

  obviously the smaller the chart the better it looks but these still look good

  Wow Leonidas, there are plenty of us that would have helped there....you didn't have to do that... I have to admit, as long as they are static charts, they look really good!

  Wow, those charts do look good! That is definitely one way to do it, and I think that worked out pretty well, could be a good method for charts that aren't supposed to change much, if any.

  Magavendon that absolutely did the trick. Thanks! Leonidas those charts look really good. That's a good idea that I might have to steal later, my coding skills could also be described as "meager at best"!
