::Thanks. One problem I can see is monsters with multiple spell sets, the worst being [[wizard (monster)|wizard]]s. You can make multiple templates appear side-by-side by leaving out any lines between them, but even then, it might look more cluttered than just a spell list. Still though, I think it's worth it, since it much better shows how spellcasting actually works. -[[User:Ion frigate|Ion frigate]] 19:02, 23 January 2013 (CET) | ::Thanks.

Revision as of 19:26, 23 January 2013
What do people think of this? I can see three possible advantages to it:
- It seems more bot-friendly, though it may have to be made to include HD if we want to derive spell damages for it (I'm not sure there).
- It better shows the relative frequency of spells, i.e. that ice fiends can be expected to spam their bolts of cold at you, or that hell sentinels have a reasonable probability to use their melee spell.
- It's a little neater.
Anyway, do people think it's worth putting this in articles? If not, I can gladly delete this page. -Ion frigate 18:48, 23 January 2013 (CET)
