Generic NPCs
Sanctaphrax:
Have posted a fair number of NPCs to the wiki.
It was mostly easy and effective, but there were a few hiccups.
1. The Ancient Sidhe Trickster had messed-up bolding because it had a ** in one of the stunt names.
2. Some of the stress tracks were incorrect.
3. The word "physical" was spelled "physycal" in the extra consequence notes on the stress tracks.
4. The Demonic Colossus seems to be missing from the folder.
Suggested changes:
1. Fix the spelling of "physical".
2. Add the Demonic Colossus.
3. Look over the stress-calculating algorithm.
4. Remove the "(s)" from the extra consequence notes. It is rarely justified.
5. Put the armour from Toughness in brackets, like the extra stress boxes.
I kinda wish I could do this stuff myself instead of dumping it on you, but I don't have access to the code that you're using.
Anyway, this will take longer than the two days I had planned.
Oh well. It's still a lot faster than I thought it would be before getting this document.

Which is probably a good thing. Ugly, hacked-together scripts are fine for personal use but it's embarrassing releasing them to the world like that.

Suggested changes:
1. Fix the spelling of "physical". Done
2. Add the Demonic Colossus. Didn't have it in the list I'm pulling from and search results for it on the board returns no results.
3. Look over the stress-calculating algorithm. Will need an example to find out where the bug is.
4. Remove the "(s)" from the extra consequence notes. It is rarely justified. Done
5. Put the armour from Toughness in brackets, like the extra stress boxes. Done

Also fixed inconsistent spellings of demonic co-pilot to match YW. Same link to the zip file.
Sanctaphrax:
You know, we had a great search function around here before the forum changeover. Not so much anymore.
Demonic Colossus
Example of stress track error: The Wizard Of The White Council should have 4 mental stress boxes, but he's only got 2.
Sanctaphrax:
Two more things:
1. The Alchemist is listed as the lchemist.
2. In a few cases, only half of the powers are bolded.

2. In a few cases, only half of the powers are bolded. They were probably formatted slightly differently. Even a minor change in formatting can break things. Point me to one and I'll see about kicking it until it stops doing that.
Demonic Colossus I'll add him when I get up and about tomorrow.
Example of stress track error: The Wizard Of The White Council should have 4 mental stress boxes, but he's only got 2. Going to debug it tomorrow. Can't see where the bug is tonight.

Eventually, once we get the formatting all uniform on everything, I'd like to tie all the stunts/powers/npcs together proper instead of using a string of quite ugly hacks. Would drastically reduce the error rate on any future entries. Pretty freaking huge job to get there though as you already know.
