[QUOTE="(Psi)SeveredHead, post: 6322821, member: 1165"] You're using black-on-black text, so people have to highlight the text to read it. In any event, the part about "only one line" isn't always true. Back in 2e, elves had a "shot on the run" ability that was written in the text and not in a stat block, as an example. Needs a bit more info. What does "one big eye" mean? What is the range of "rotting gaze"? What action is "weird insight"? If a nothic picks up a javelin and throws it, how do you calculate the accuracy? How about the damage? (The nothic has Strength +2, but claws deal +3 damage.) You could certainly use smaller stat blocks, but I wouldn't try to "force" a one-line stat block. At the very least, I'd expect to see things like "SA" Rotting Gaze (standard action, range 30, DC 12 Con [3d6 damage]) in the stat block. Edit: Please list proficiency bonuses. They apparently start at +2 and go to +6. So when that fighter has proficiency with Con saves, I don't know if that means +2, more, advantage? [/QUOTE]
