What I did and why I did it

After much thought and experience w/tables, I made some changes. Here is the rationale:

1. Table notes: I've really taken to these. They have a robust way of coding and rendering. Unfortunately, they are as big as a house. I thought it was important that the damage column of the spectre have a note about the damage it does, right there on the number, since that number doesn't represent hit points. What it's done to the entire column isn't great though and it make some pretty ugly code. I felt it was lesser of several evils.
2. Vulnerability/resistance figures: I thought 5/4x-penetrating looked a little awkward, so I changed them to percents. I considered using Unicode solutions, like "½" or "1¼×", etc. but they didn't seem like improvements.
3. Advice: even though this is based on material from another publication, we aren't copying all that material verbatim, so let's make the table's content encyclopedic.
