[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 5684265, member: 20323"] Good catch. You know I didn't even realize I'd done that! I think it must be an exposure to Asian languages that makes me left-right/right-left flexible. It definitely has nothing to do with my eyes jumping around when I read. Or with a soccer coach who used to yell at us "the other left!" :p Solid points. I'm going to post a couple varieties of stat blocks soon, but I've really tried to build in redundancy in how information is displayed: color, style, boldness, placement, and icons should all work together to minimize the need for pinpoint accurate verbage (which inevitably gets misinterpreted or isn't actually as pinpoint as it first seemed). EDIT: Here's the homebrew solo stat block I'm tackling, and should have done tonight. Rather than post more of WotC content I figured I'd be on the safe side, and I'll come back to the kobold minion, roper, and frost giant later. [IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y141/quickleaf/strigha.png[/IMG] It's a beast of a stat block, probably one of the larger ones in the game shy of the "campaign enders" like Lolth or Orcus. What makes it interesting is that there are lots of different kinds of powers/traits and plenty of triggers/conditions. [/QUOTE]
