Usage
A Monster Lore dossier records what the company has learned of a creature, never its game statistics. The right-hand box is a combat reference for the next encounter; its labels mirror the statblock so players know what each line governs, but the content is always prose — name the kind, never a number ("Immune to: cold of every kind," not a value). The body is a running log of the encounters the company has already had, with the Harpers' insight on each. Transcluding the template files the page into Category:Monsters automatically.
{{Monster Lore
| creature_name =
| type = e.g. Chromatic dragon (white)
| vulnerabilities = What wounds it worse than it should ("None discovered")
| resistances = What merely glances off
| immunities = What does nothing at all
| condition_immunities = Conditions it cannot suffer (frightened, poisoned...)
| strong_saves = What it rarely fails (reflexes, body, will, force of personality)
| senses = How it perceives — sight in the dark, blind-sense, keen scent
| movement = How it gets around — flight, swimming, ice-walking, burrowing
| abilities = Breath, presence, the way it fights, magic it can refuse
| confidence = Fragmentary | Partial | Well-attested
| encountered = [[Session ##]], where
| agent = Reporting Harper
}}
== The Harpers' Read ==
The agent's insight: what the encounters reveal and how to use it.
== Encounters of Record ==
=== [[Session ##]] — Where it was faced ===
The company's account, and what the circle learned from it.
