Is there a 'standard' stat block for Basic Fantasy? I am converting an old adventure that i wrote and I would like to use the correct stat block.

Thanks,

Anthony Roberson

The "standard" for NPCs is variable; sometimes, I put in ALL the stats, and sometimes I abbreviate them. "Mook" fighters don't need near the details that the EHP (evil high priest) would require.

The main feature of my standard statblock format is the hit point checkboxes. I find that my adventures run much faster when I can just check off the damage than when I have to handle all those numbers. Since I print out all my own adventures, on my own paper, it doesn't bother me to "deface" them in that way. I do plan to retain that format even in print format.
