Not sure if this can be redone as a one-liner; currently it's two.


for i in range(3):
    print '\n\t"'+("minor","medium","major")[i]+'
":({\n\t\t'+"\n\t\t".join([q[0]+',"'+" ".join(q[1:])+'",' for q in
[q.split("\x96")[-1].split(" ") for q in "\n".join([q.split("
",3)[i]+" "+q.split(" ",3)[3] for q in
a.split("\n")]).replace("\x92","'").split("\n")] if
q[0]!="\x97"])+'\n\t}),'

That's the code I used in IDLE to translate this:

Minor Medium Major Ring Market Price
01–18 — — Protection +1 2,000 gp
19–28 — — Feather falling 2,200 gp
61–70 01–05 — Counterspells 4,000 gp
71–75 06–08 — Mind shielding 8,000 gp
86–90 24–28 — Ram 8,600 gp
— 29–34 — Climbing, improved 10,000 gp
— 35–40 — Jumping, improved 10,000 gp
— 41–46 — Swimming, improved 10,000 gp
91–93 47–51 — Animal friendship 10,800 gp
94–96 50–56 01–02 Energy resistance, minor 12,000 gp
99–100 62–66 — Water walking 15,000 gp
— 94–97 29–32 Blinking 27,000 gp
— 98–100 33–39 Energy resistance, major 28,000 gp
— — 40–49 Protection +4 32,000 gp
— — 98 Elemental command (fire) 200,000 gp
— — 99 Elemental command (water) 200,000 gp
— — 100 Spell storing, major 200,000 gp

into something that my dice-roller can use. (In the interests of
brevity I've chopped a whole lot of the table out, but each column
contains every possible value from 01 to 100.)

Not as "cool" as the previous one, but it sure was handy!

In case you're wondering: Yes, that is Dungeons and Dragons. I run an
online D&D server. Nerd? Only slightly.....
