Topic: Template for 5e Monster statblocks
I've noticed many monster entries are missing information that is in their statblock in the book, such as challenge rating, so while I've been fixing some I made a template. Just click the <> button in the entry creator and paste the code below into it. Then you can edit the fields above the text box and fill out the text with the monster's statblock (delete whatever isn't used like resitances and legendary actions).
When creating the entry convert fractional CRs to decimals for the Challenge Rating field, then after saving open the file as a text file (with Wordpad, Notepad, or Notepad++)
replace the decimal number after "challenge_rating": with the fraction and XP, so replace "0.25" with "1/4 (50 XP)"
leave the decimal after "cr": as is
The D&D Entry Creator does weird things, so use ctrl+H and replace
\/ with /
replace
\"\\ with \"
and replace
\\\" with \"
