Is it possible for someone with computer mojo to put together an editable PDF of the NPC Stat Box that is used to fantastic effect in the Magic Burner... you probably could get two or three to a 8.5 x 11 page and it would be very handy for NPCs and monsters.
Thanks!

It's not quite a PDF, but I've created a template on the wiki duplicating the format from the MagBu :)

Paul for the Win!!!
This works for me, my Wiki formatting-fu is weak and sad. I am lucky when I can get Bold and Font size right.
I have a whole bunch of monsters burned up for Ziphit to run-away from. now I can put them in a easy to read format.
Thanks again Paul!
:D

Cheers Khelek.
Some notes on editing it:
Any row ending with something like <!-- Die Traits --> is a bit you need to edit.
If there's a long list of Skills or Traits it won't wrap to the next line, the table will be extended and all the columns resized as necessary. You can fit more in by wrapping the skills or traits in the following:
<font size="1">''list of skills''</font>
(the '' before and after the list of skills makes the text italic)
Adding an extra row for Skills and/or Traits is a little more involved. Likewise for adding an extra Weapon row.
For editing the wiki text I find it easier to copy it all and paste it into a text editor (Notepad++ on my Windows machine & TextWrangler on my Mac) do all the editing then paste it back - handy for doing mass find & replaces.
Let me know how you get on and if you need any help to make the template fit your bunch of monsters!
Actually, I've just followed my own advice above & amended the template to have 2 rows for skills and reduced the font size for the Traits & Skills.
