Template:3.5e Monster Classic

Template documentation (for the above template, sometimes hidden or invisible)

This template formats a 3.5th edition monster's essential stats in the "classic" PHB style. We encourage you to use the new stat block instead where possible.

Parameters

Every parameter in the template has three variations, the given parameter from the table (we'll call it "foo"), foo2, and foo3. Use the foo2 and foo3 parameters if you're inputting two or three monsters; they specify the stats of the second and third monster you're inputting. For more details, see the examples page.

Parameter	Required	Description
monster	no	The monster or monsters' names. This is required if you're inputting multiple monsters (you must also set monster2 and, if three monsters, monster3), otherwise you may omit it.
size	yes	The monster's size; ex: "Large".
type	yes	The monster's type; ex: "Outsider". Do not make these links; just write the text by itself.
subtypes	no	The monster's subtypes, comma separated, if any. Ex: "Fire, Native". Do not make these links; just write the text by itself.
hd	yes	The monster's hit dice; ex: "6d8+24".
hp	yes	The monster's total hit points.
init	yes	The monster's initiative modifier; ex: "+7".
speed	yes	The monster's movement speeds; ex: "30 ft., fly 60 ft. (good)"
ac	yes	The monster's total armor class.
touch	yes	The monster's touch armor class.
flat	yes	The monster's flat-footed armor class.
bab	yes	The monster's base attack bonus. Do not include iterative attack bonuses.
grapple	yes	The monster's grapple modifier.
at	no	The monster's typical standard-action attack.

space	yes	The amount of space the monster occupies; ex: "15 ft."
reach	yes	The monster's reach; ex: "10 ft."
sa	no	The monster's special attacks, if any.
sq	no	The monster's special qualities, if any; ex: "Blindsight 60 ft."
fort	yes	The monster's fortitude save bonus; ex: "+7".
ref	yes	The monster's reflex save bonus.
will	yes	The monster's will save bonus.
str	no	The monster's strength score; all six ability-score parameters will default to "—" if you omit them.
dex	no	The monster's dexterity score.
con	no	The monster's constitution score.
int	no	The monster's intelligence score.
wis	no	The monster's wisdom score.
cha	no	The monster's charisma score.
skills	no	The monster's trained skills and their bonuses. Ex: "Move Silently +16, Spot +17".

env	no	The environment the monster can be found in.
org	no	The organizations the monster can be found in; ex: "Pack (2-6 of the monster, 12 children)".
cr	yes	The monster's Challenge Rating.
cralt	no	Used in place of the "cr" parameter. Allows for complicated CR fields, but requires manual semantic annotating if you want it to appear in navigation. Example: "cralt=[[Challenge Rating::20]] or [[Challenge Rating::as pilot +3]] (whichever is higher)". Note the double colons in manual semantic annotations, these are intentional and required.
treas	no	Treasure multipliers the monster can be found with; ex: "Double Standard". This defaults to "None" if you omit it.
align	no	The monster's alignment; ex: "Always Lawful Evil". This defaults to "Any" if you omit it.
adv	no	How the monster advances. Ex: "Large (10-16 HD), Huge (17+ HD)". This defaults to "None" if you omit it.
la	no	The monster's level adjustment, if any. This will default to "—" if you omit it.

Examples
