Gswiki:Style guide/Creatures

This article is a work in progress!

Creature pages have two sets of templates, one on the top, one on the bottom, and specified sections in between.

Right Side Infoboxes

• Template:Creature start - Contains the start code and the basic creature attributes.
• Template:Creature attack attributes - Lists the various attack attributes, such as AS and CS.
  • Template:Creature ability - Usage is {{Creature offensive attributes | <attack|bolt|ward|maneuver|ability> = {{Creature ability | <spell link> }} }}. Can be used to list both offensive and defensive spells.
• Template:Creature defense attributes - Lists DS, TD, etc. Lots of options for this one, such as {{meleeDS}}, {{boltDS}}, {{TD100}} etc.
  • Template:Creature ability - Same as the link above. Usage is {{Creature defensive attributes | <defense|ability> = {{Creature ability | <spell link> }} }}. Can be used to list both offensive and defensive attributes.
• Template:Creature treasure - Attributes are coins, gems, magic items, boxes, skin, other. Not setting an attribute makes the line show with a question mark (?). Setting an attribute to no (case-sensitive) removes that line.
• Template:Creature end - Merely ends the creature template tables.
