Bestiary 3- Group effort to produce PFRPG module with spells.

The process should look roughly like this, per monster:
1. Copy the entire page (except for the initial monster name), including the short description at the top, and the flavor description following the stat block.
2. Insert an "EXTRA FORMATTED DATA" line (make sure it's on its own line) between the end of the stat block and the flavor description.
3. Change the monster name on the CR line to be mixed-case instead of all-upper.
4. Format the flavor description text by surrounding each paragraph with <p> or <h>, and using <b>, <i>, <u> as necessary to simulate the formatting in the PDF.

And obviously run the whole thing through the creature parser and fix any errors before uploading it here.

For formatting, do I need the closing, i.e. <p></p> or just <p><p>.

What about the templates or "creating a xxx creature" stuff?

The text has to properly formatted FG formatted "XML" - so you will need to close all tags that are opened.

It would be nice to have as much as possible. But, just do what you want to do. That may result in a "lop-sided" module though...

Thanks! One last question. Looking at the Fey Creature entry, how would you recommend I format the table for HD/Special Abilities found on page 117?

[darrenan]

Create a table using <table></table>, <tr></tr>, and <td></td> tags.

Sorry, left the closing tags out for brevity, but yes you need both open and closing tags.

The only part I'm not doing, is if there's a group of creatures (Thriae for instance) that have a detailed description page preceding the all the monsters in that group. Trenloe could maybe figure out a way to work those into the final module, but they definitely won't run through the creature parser. Other than that, I'm trying to include everything for each specific monster.

Full list of supported tags here in the "internal representation" section: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/refdo...extcontrol.xcp

The <h> (header) <table> and <list> tags are good ones to format the text nicely.

For example, here is the end result for the Aasimar from Bestiary 1 (code in post #2 of the parser thread):

I'll go back and enter update A-D after I get N-S done.
