Module:AbilityTable

This module exposes two functions.

• render generates a table of hero abilities matching a named list, and is invoked via {{AbilityTable}}.
• is_member(list, ability_key, ability_num) is a shared function that decides whether a single ability belongs to a list (applying the same properties and exclusions); it is used both internally by render and externally by Module:AbilityHints, so the ability-hint icons always stay in sync with these tables.

See also

• Template:AbilityTable — the template that invokes this module
• Module:AbilityTable/Lists — defines which properties each list matches on, and which abilities to exclude
• Module:AbilityTable/Notes — editor-authored notes displayed in the Notes column
• Module:AbilityTable/ComplexRenderers — custom column renderers for lists that need more than just Notes
• Module:AbilityHints — reuses is_member to render interaction-hint icons on ability cards
