Aw, that's too bad. I like it when computers do the work.
Variations seems like a good idea, notes doesn't really.
Look at Richard Chilton's character writeups. It would be really awkward to fit one of those into the template. Too big, too complex.
Though a separate template for notes might be a good idea.
As for variations, I'm not really sure how to handle them. But I agree that a standardized way to include them would be a good idea.
The Mighty Buzzard:
Makes sense. I'll let someone else worry about the writeups then and just collect everything between the name and the refresh total lines.
As for how to handle variations, I'd say just go with plain old English prose. Anything that takes more than a paragraph is deserving of its own template and anything less isn't worth worrying about standardizing.
Example
Water Sprite (Chest Deep)
...
Variations: This template could also be used for earth, air, and fire sprites. Physical Immunity and Channeling should be changed to reflect the appropriate element.
Total Refresh Cost: -10

Sanctaphrax:
Hm. I dunno.
I'm also considering a slash-based method. See next post for an example.
Sanctaphrax:

The Mighty Buzzard:
Looks like it'd work for 2-4. Any more than that and it's going to get increasingly hard to read. That's not a bad thing though. It should keep people from trying to cram too much into one template.
