Clear presentation of your ideas matters. People will not read a wall of text. Five ideas buried in a long paragraph are as good as invisible.
Fortunately the forum software has some rudimentary formatting capabilities.
Text Formatting
Surround text with
one *asterisk* or _underscore_ for emphasized text
two **asterisks** or __underscores__ for strong text
<strike> and </strike> for strike through — useful when you edit a post but want to show what you changed.
<ins> and </ins> for inserted text
<del> and </del> for deleted text
Put a backslash \ before a character to disable parsing. For example use “\*” to avoid having the asterisk start italics, as in:
without \: “I didn’t summon any 5s or 4s!”
with \: “I didn’t summon any 5*s or 4*s!”
Paragraph formatting
To achieve an effect, start a line with
header 1: #
header 2: ##
header 3: ### (etc. down to header 6)
list bullet: * or -
list number: 1. (The software automatically increments numbers in a list.)
Tables
Use a vertical bar (“|”) at the start of a line and to separate columns, e.g. |Cell1|Cell2|Cell3|
Start each new row on a new line.
Second row MUST have three hyphens (“—“) as the contents of each cell, e.g. |—|—|—| . These are hard to type on some platforms because the software may autocorrect two hyphens into an em-dash (“—“).

Barbarian
Wound
6%chance to apply bleeding from any normal attack. The effect deals 60% of the damage done and lasts for 5 turns. This effect stacks
Ranger
Pierce
5% chance to bypass defensive buffs when attacking. This includes counter attacks
5*s= 5s
So add a space after asterisk 5* s= 5* s
