    I think that might be a little much to ask of the devs. I mean, can YOU think of a good way to craft an interesting description from a monster with random qualities, and have it be good every time?
    Honestly, the way I'd do it would be to not have a "description" at all, but have a readout of different properties of the monster, i.e. it's behavior, speed, health, etc.
     
  2. I think that inconsistencies like that could be avoided by writing that sort of logic into the code. Making certain things mutually exclusive.

    Edit: although if I met a monster with that description, I wouldn't be too bothered.

    Oh, I guess I didn't realize that Mastaf was referring to logical contradictions in descriptions, rather than their format being a simple statement of facts. Of course preventing contradictions would be fairly easy to do; all I was saying is that one way or another, monster descriptions would be a list on some level, so deal with it. The point appears to be moot now, though! Let's rerail this topic, eh?
