Why didn't I think about this before?

Easy to use power2ool to build the monster cards... you can click "automatic stats", pick a level, and it will also throw in the likely bonuses and damage expressions. Then it's as simple as leveling up your cards and clicking "print" every level.

In theory that works but then you reduce the game to a maths lesson.

The game is complicated, it takes time and an encounter can last 2 hours sometimes!! - the complexity is probably the reason a lot of us don't play the skirmish games, if after all it would be exactly what you suggest, monsters on a card and the fun would really go out the window a little.

Good idea in theory but in practice it would over simplifiy a game that relies on complexity to remain interesting

If I'm understanding Rechan correctly, there would be essentially no change in the stats of the monsters from what's in the monster books. He's just advocating a new scheme of organizing the information, that's all.
