Hello,

I just discovered this amazing tool, a really usefull time-savior.

One thing anyway :
When i Copy this into clipboard :

Skeletons
Attributes: Agility d8, Smarts d4, Spirit d4,
Strength d6, Vigor d6
Skills: Fighting d8, Notice d4, Stealth d6
Pace: 7; Parry: 7 (1); Toughness: 8 (1)
Gear: Melee Weapon (Str+d6), Small Shield
(+1 Parry)
Special Abilities:
• Bony Form (Half damage from piercing
and slashing weapons
• Bony Hide (+1 Armor); Claws (Str+1;
never considered unarmed)
• Fearless
• Infravision
• Undead (+2 to recover from being
Shaken, immune to poison and disease, no
additional damage from called shots)
• Weakness (+2 damage from White Silver
and Everwood)
• Weakness (+4 damage from hammers,
maces, and similar weapons)

The tool did not copy special abilities, should it be possible to copy whatever the tools cannot parse in the notes in the main tab of NPC (just below the Non-ID name box) ?

Great job !!

The bullet lists mess up the parser. What I do is paste the document to a notepad, remove the bullets, and it should parse fine.

Should be something else... may be because NPC have no Abilities box like characters ?
I make a 2nd copy/past for these abilities, it is not very important.

Syntax was incorrect. It's always AbilityName: text yours omitted the colon and used parentheses instead.

Thanks a lot, that works well without the bullet.

It was just a copy/paste from PDF bought on DriveThruRPG.
I will have to pay attention to the format.
Now I know

How i can import more then one at same time ?

You can do this by separating each NPC stat block with ten (or more) #'s ie.

StatBlockA
##########
StatBlockB
##########
StatBlockC

This extension has been so helpful over the years, thank you for making it available to all of us.

It works great overall, have a small thing to report:

I've noticed that when there is a size attribute with a negative attached to it, the parser tends not to pick up on it and it'll become part of the special ability before it.
Meanwhile size with 0 or a + works.

Example:

Myling, Skeletal Form 2
Removed the descriptive text.

Attributes: Agility d6, Smarts d6, Spirit d8, Strength d8, Vigor d8
Skills: Climbing d6, Fighting d6, Guts d8, Intimidation d6, Notice d6, Stealth d8
Pace: 6; Parry: 5; Toughness: 4
Treasure: None

Special Abilities:
* Claws: When someone fails to carry a myling to a graveyard it manifests terrible claws. These inflict Str+d8 damage and ignore all nonmagical armor. If a hero is wearing relic armor, only the magical bonus provides protection.
* Enraged: If a person refuses to carry a myling or cannot complete its task, the myling goes Berserk automatically. While berserk, it attacks only using Wild Attacks.
* Fearless: Immune to Fear and Intimidation.
* Size –1: Myling skeletons average 4-5’ tall.
* Undead: +2 Toughness. +2 to recover from being Shaken. Called shots do no extra damage. Immune to disease and poison.

This will give the Special Abilities output of :
...
Fearless
Immune to Fear and Intimidation. * Size –1: Myling skeletons average 4-5’ tall.

Undead
+2 Toughness. +2 to recover from being Shaken.

Hi,

I have tried that :

Myling, Skeletal Form 2
Removed the descriptive text.

Attributes: Agility d6, Smarts d6, Spirit d8, Strength d8, Vigor d8
Skills: Climbing d6, Fighting d6, Guts d8, Intimidation d6, Notice d6, Stealth d8
Pace: 6; Parry: 5; Toughness: 4
Treasure: None

Special Abilities:
* Claws: When someone fails to carry a myling to a graveyard it manifests terrible claws. These inflict Str+d8 damage and ignore all nonmagical armor. If a hero is wearing relic armor, only the magical bonus provides protection.
* Enraged: If a person refuses to carry a myling or cannot complete its task, the myling goes Berserk automatically. While berserk, it attacks only using Wild Attacks.
* Fearless: Immune to Fear and Intimidation.
* Size: –1: Myling skeletons average 4-5’ tall.
* Undead: +2 Toughness. +2 to recover from being Shaken. Called shots do no extra damage. Immune to disease and poison.

Note the : after Size.

Is that what you want ?

[StoryWeaver]

Ideally for consistency, I suppose it should be:


Fearless
Immune to Fear and Intimidation.

Size –1
Myling skeletons average 4-5’ tall.

Undead
+2 Toughness. +2 to recover from being Shaken...


As I think it does that when size is 0 or larger, it normally shows up as (unless my memory is playing tricks on me lol):


Size (0)
Some text.
Size +3
Some text.


That aside, how did you get it to appear like that, with Size as the title and the "-1: Myling skeletons average 4-5’ tall." in the description line, when you parsed?
It is a far improvement right away if I can get it to parse, instead of having to manually edit afterwards.
