Updating Monster Stat Block Format

[by_the_sword]

I like the addition of Special Attacks into the stat block. I also approve of Intelligence... With a number rating as opposed to a title like "cosmic" or "Low".

Indyjoe also used "Size" in his stat block. Not every monster description lets us know how big a monster is.

I have not seen "Magic Resistence" in Labyrinth Lord. Do we use that?

Numbers can get a bit awkward of course. "Goblin: INT 7" Are all goblins int 7? I think that's why the names were used in AD&D. A number range is nice though, especially since these names are defined in AD&D if that's what you're mimicing. I'm not sure how the other goblinoid games treat INT though.

Nope.
