I really like the homebrew design system and have made several items, but I can’t figure out how to make a table that shows what die rolls do what. Other homebrew items have one, so I know it’s possible. If someone could explain how to make one, i’d be grateful.
Yes, it's a bit complicated to add/customize a table, but it can be done! If you click the </> button in the text editor (Source code), you can add in table formatting. More details on HTML formatting can be seen all over Google (https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_tables.asp). See example code and result below:
"Where words fail, swords prevail. Where blood is spilled, my cup is filled" -Cartaphilus
"I have found the answer to the meaning of life. You ask me what the answer is? You already know what the answer to life is. You fear it more than the strike of a viper, the ravages of disease, the ire of a lover. The answer is always death. But death is a gentle mistress with a sweet embrace, and you owe her a debt of restitution. Life is not a gift, it is a loan."
With "D20" as the column header (or other dice: D4, D8..., or expression: D20+3, 2D8-1, ....). Any user that uses Beyond Help will be able to roll on your table.
This is awesome! I didn't really think about being able to do that sort of thing, but I just used Sedge's template to pretty up one of my magic items. Thanks!

That is very handy, thank you Sedge.

Also if you make it like this:
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>D20</th>
<th>Roll Action</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>1-10</td>
<td>Complete Failure</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>11-20</td>
<td>Questionable Success</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

And I cast Heroism on the community.
