Purpose

Stat table template used to document the stats of ally Demons in Shin Megami Tensei IV.

For the stats of enemy encounters, use Template:SMT4 Demon Stats instead. For bosses, use Template:SMT4 Boss Stats.

Usage

Stat tables are used in the Gameplay section on subject pages, or in their respective Gameplay page if available. It can be used with tabs to catalog different stat tables of the subject. Refer to the Gameplay guidelines for full instruction on using stat tables and tabs.

Parameters that are non-applicable to the subject, such as element/ailment resistances or evolution, should be omitted from usage. This will automatically add an em dash to their fields.

Parameter Notes
img
Optional; not used when parameter is omitted. By default, the template will automatically add the Demon's sprite as [[File:SMT4 {{{PAGENAME}}} Sprite.png]]. The img= parameter inputs a different subject name to call the sprite from. This should be used if the Demon's in-game name differs from the article title, or if the title has a discriminator in it.

If the stat table is to be transcluded onto another page, then the img and name parameters must be used.
name
Optional; not used when parameter is omitted. By default, the template will automatically render the Demon's name the same as the article name. Use the name parameter if the Demon's name differs in-game or if the article title has a discriminator in it.

If the stat table is to be transcluded onto another page, then the img and name parameters must be used.
location
Optional; does not display when parameter is omitted. Displays where the Demon can be found or how to obtain. See the Gameplay guidelines for full instruction on listing locations.
race, raceredirect
Displays and automatically links to the Demon's Race by name. Race can be viewed in the Demon's status screen or in Analyze.

If the Race has a different name in-game from the article or if the title has a discriminator in it, use raceredirect= to redirect the link to the appropriate Race page or section. The Race name entered in race= will therefore become the link's display name.
alignment
In Shin Megami Tensei IV and Apocalypse, a Demon's Alignment is factored with the skills Holy Wrath, Judgment, and Sea of Chaos. Alignment can be viewed in the Demon's dictionary entry from its status screen. As only "Law", "Neutral", and "Chaos" are displayed, add just these.
cost
Displays the base cost to summon the Demon from the Compendium. This cost should reflect the Demon's base stats without any alterations.
fusioncondition
Optional; does not display when parameter is omitted. Displays the conditional criteria needed to be able to fuse this Demon, such as clearing a Challenge Quest or defeating a boss. This parameter should be kept concise; any complicated explanations should be explained outside of the stat table in its own paragraph. For Challenge Quest conditions, this can be formatted as Clear "[[Challenge Quest Name]]". For bosses, this can be formatted as Defeat [[Boss Name]].
Resistances
Element resistance parameters have two sets of rows: the first is used for the in-game resistance UI (Wk, Rs, Nu, Dr, Rp), the second is used for precise fractional values reflecting data found in the Shin Megami Tensei IV Official Complete Guide. Ailment resistance parameters use fractional values only.

The fraction parameters default to ×1 to indicate neutral resistance. Fractions are added by inputting the equivalent numerical value (i.e. "2" for ×2, "1.5" for ×1.5, etc). See the Gameplay guidelines for full instruction on documenting resistances.
Evolution
The evolvefrom=, fromlevel=, evolveto=, and tolevel= parameters are used to display evolution information if applicable to the Demon. The evolution row is hidden by default and is only displayed if any of its parameters are used.
Basic attack
The element=, hit=, target=, and effect= parameters display information about the Demon's basic attack. This information can be viewed by highlighting its basic attack during battle.

When an element or status ailment are entered in the element= or effect= parameters, respectively, the stat table will automatically link to it. By default, the stat table will render the most common data: Phys element, 1 hit, 1 enemy, and no effect. See the Gameplay guidelines for full instruction on formatting basic attack information.
skills
Use Template:Skill to add skills and the level they are learned at. E.g. {{Skill|SMT4|Agi|-}}. Adding a hyphen in the level parameter will automatically add "Innate" to indicate a skill known by default. This stat table will display the skill name, cost, description (if available for that skill), and level learned at.

Skill information is called from Module:Data/Skill/smt4.
