[QUOTE="Scribble, post: 4215814, member: 23977"] It's a nice design, but I like the original better for these reasons: 1. I like the stuff like "knowledge check results" at the end. (Though I would prefer the standard orc party info at the begining as in your design.) I prefer the stat stuff up front ready to go, so when I need a quick encounter, I can just turn to the Orc (or whatever monster) page and be good to go... Instead of turign to the orc section and then paging through to the stats. (Not a big deal, but if it saves me a couple of moments overasll...) 2. I like the way they did the Tactics stuff.. The way you did it kind of gets lost in the stat block for me. I have to skim down through the stat block to find the tactics. The WOTC design kind of pops out for me. If I want stat block I see the stat block.. if I want to quickly refference the tactics... there they are. The fact that I might not even use the tactics in the first place also means putting them as a part of the block makes it look crowded. Finally, I think the way the tactics are in there sort of breaks up the different stat blocks nicely. Yours has a better "cohesiveness" feeling to it, and looks slightly more organized, but it seems to take a moment longer for my eyes/brain to pull out a different stat block. The way the WOTC one has it set up makes my eyes just kind of bounce from one block to the next. Automatic eye movement makes it easier for my brain to switch to the different stat blocks. [/QUOTE]
