Template:D&DCreatList/doc
This is a documentation subpage for Template:D&DCreatList. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This is a template used to list D&D monsters.
As such lists can get very long, this is a shortened version of Template:D&D creature list, that sacrifices some of that templates clarity by using abbreviations instead of descriptive names of the field in question, in order to reduce the amount of data in a list.
Please note that this template does not include the table headers, which must be added manually, but only offers an easier way to add information about a specific monster. A new set of parameters must be filled in for each monster.
