Updating all monsters stats blocks on 5e for consistency

October 12 (4 years ago)

Edited October 12 (4 years ago)

5e PHB / DMG / VG1 / ToB / MM1

Things I am noticing across the board for each book is the lack of consistency.

Examples:

Passive Perception - on Modules like Lost mines, they are included and in some of the DMG.

Speed - there are 2 different attributes value: npc_speed & npcd_speed.
Also within npc_speed the field value would either show: 40 or 40 ft or speed 40 ft, climb 30 ft. 
So for those of us who uses and pays for PRO sub and takes advantage of such tools like Token Mod - we get wild results, inconsistent results. 

I'd like to request for all roll20 compedium to have consistent stat block / attribute fields.

npc_passiveperception
npc_speed
npc_climb
npc_hp
npc_ac

not understanding why we have
npcd_speed
npcd_hp
npcd_ac
passive_perception
npc_senses
perception_base
wisdom_perception
perception_wisdom
npc_passiveperception
npc_perception

I know this is a huge task having to go through every creature now - but this should have been tackled many years ago.
There is a saying my parents told me when I was a kid:

"El flojo trabaja dos veces" which means the lazy ends up working twice. 

So before WOTC releases newer books in the future - let's not continue to muddle future monsters stat blocks on our roll20 compendium please.
