View source for Template:3.5e Monster Classic/doc

This template formats a 3.5th edition monster's essential stats in the "classic" PHB style. We encourage you to use [[Template:Stat Block 2|the new stat block]] instead where possible.

== Parameters ==
{{3.5e Monster Classic/doc/parameters}}

== Examples ==

=== One Monster ===

To make a simple monster in the PHB stat-block format, just follow this example of a 1st-level human warrior.

The following code:
<pre>{{3.5e Monster Classic
|monster=Human, 1st-Level Warrior
|size=Medium
|type=Humanoid
|subtypes=Human
|hd=1d8+0
|hp=4
|init=+0
|speed=30 ft. (6 squares)
|ac=10
|touch=10
|flat=10
|bab=+1
|grapple=+1
|at=Heavy mace +1 (1d8)
|full_at=Heavy mace +1 (1d8)
|space=5 ft.
|reach=5 ft.
|fort=+2
|ref=+2
|will=+2
|str=10
|dex=11
|con=10
|int=11
|wis=10
|cha=11
|skills=Craft (weaponsmithing) +4, Craft (armorsmithing) +4, Craft (bowmaking) +4
|feats=Iron Will, Lighting Reflexes
|env=Any land
|cr={{1/2}}
|treas=Standard
|adv=By character class
|la=+0
}}</pre>

Becomes this stat block:
{{3.5e Monster Classic
|monster=Human, 1st-Level Warrior

|type=Humanoid
|subtypes=Human
|hd=1d8+0
|hp=4
|init=+0

}}
