Ability/Script

This is a Python script to generate the Ability tables. Copy the code in the box below into a text file named abilityTable.py (or whatever you want) inside the Wildermyth directory. Then run it by calling python abilityTable.py from the command line. It will create a text file named abilityTable.txt with the appropriate wiki-formatted content.
