This is extremely handy. Having the basic monsters listed out is a big help. One glance can reveal whether or not a creature has been given stats and let you compare it to others to see if you need to make up new stat's for a monster. For anyone who's trying to squeeze things in with limited time, it helps speed it up.

With a few changes I made a formula to create the general stat block being used in a number of modules. For anyone who's an atrocious typist that's helpful; you can copy an initial seed stat, and not have to fix so many errors.

I'd be interested in that...Please post it...

I lost the file sharing resources I was using and haven't replaced them yet (got too comfortable with just two web sites and never looked around for alternates, so I'm pretty lost right now for anything but simple stuff that seems to only allow PDFs.). When I can find a way to share the sheet, I will.

Email it to me, I'll post it, either in the regular downloads or in my "temp" web folder, if you'd prefer a more limited distribution.

Or for that matter, post it as an attachment in this very forum. Up to 256 Kb per attachment.

I've tried the upload attachment and it was always "document not allowed."

I played around with keep-and-share and this is supposed to be a public document where all you do is click download when you go to it. If it fails I must have set it up wrong.

[Note: Solomoriah now has it in a folder for sharing... read later in the thread -- do not stop here... The KeepAndShare copy was deleted to avoid having an out-ofdate copy floating around confusing things.]

As a safety, I'll e-mail it to Solomariah, too.

Beware of errors. I threw it together with the intent to polish and debug as I used it.

The attachment thing is probably fixed.

J.D., please note you are misspelling my handle.

I've put a copy of J.D.'s revised creature list here:

I'd like Mike's opinion on it before I post it; however, in lieu of word to the contrary from him, I probably will do so.

That's an open office file, isn't it?

Yup, OpenDocument Spreadsheet.
