Template:Stat Block 2/HowTo

How To Use The Stat Block Template
For NPC/Creature entries, the following is the general layout to format Stat Blocks. The following does not contain a complete list of parameters, just the ones that are required.

Explanation of (freq)
This template supports spell-like abilities and psi-like abilities of up to twenty different frequencies freq1 through freq20. Once you use freqX to specify how often a spell-/psi-like ability or group of spell-/psi-like abilities can be used, sla(freq) and pla(freq) are used list the abilities by replacing (freq) with what value you used for freqX.

For example, the following is used to list 6th-level paladin's spell-like abilities, detect evil and remove disease (note that special mount is not listed because it does not duplicate an existing spell):

|freq1= At will
 * sla At will =detect evil


 * freq2= 1/week
 * sla 1/week =remove disease

The bold text must match exactly.

prgrsns
The prgrsns parameter takes a template(s) to specify a creature's spellcasting, manifesting, invoking, uttering, etc... abilities. Templates are currently available for the following (more can be added as needed):


 * Spontaneous casters
 * Prepared casters
 * Psionic powers
 * Invoking classes (i.e. warlock, and dragon adept)
 * Utterances (i.e. for the truenamer class)
 * Maneuvers and Stances (Tome of Battle classes)

So to specify a wizard's prepared spells, the spells prepared template would be used like so:

|prgrsns=

If the wizard also has levels in druid, the prgrsns parameter might look like the following:

|prgrsns=

Note the addition of the cls property. It's not required, but it is recommended that it be used when a reader might not be able to tell which progression applies to which class.

grims
The grims parameter is for creatures that keep their spells (or the equivalent) written in a grimiore (e.g. a spellbook for wizards or a prayerbook for archivists). Templates are currently available for the following:


 * Spells recorded

So to specify what spells are in the wizard's spellbook (other than the spells prepared), the following is used:

|grims=
