Some creature attributes like AS/DS/TD can be variable. If the variation is due to ''generated level'' then we should only list a single value corresponding to an average level creature. If it is due to spellups, stance, or other factors then we should try to list a range. [[User:ZHOUY1|ZHOUY1]] ([[User talk:ZHOUY1|talk]]) 02:20, 16 June 2017 (CDT) |

Variability
Some creature attributes like AS/DS/TD can be variable. If the variation is due to generated level then we should only list a single value corresponding to an average level creature. If it is due to spellups, stance, or other factors then we should try to list a range. ZHOUY1 (talk) 02:20, 16 June 2017 (CDT)
Proposed style changes
These are fairly substantial changes since there are many creature pages, but would like to know if it is worth doing.
- I feel aesthetically putting every creature description inside log2 is an eyesore and breaks up the flow of the page. It would be fine to add a "Description" category at the top of each page and put the description in normal text. (This would also bring it to the same format as the DragonRealms wiki.)
- The templates could use a little cleanup.
- Creature height/size is a basic combat attribute and easily checked with appraise, so it should be included.
- TD for each circle is not necessary since it is the same for each magic sphere with adjustments for semi-casters, only Ele/Spirit/Mental/Sorc/Bard/Ranger/Paladin should be different (and I am not even sure Ranger/Paladin are actually different).
- Add a flag for whether a creature changes stances.
