==Stat Tables== | |||
Stat tables are specialized templates used to display statistical information about playable characters, Demons, Personas, etc. This can include stat parameters, weaknesses and resistances, skills, passive traits, victory spoils, location information, and whatever else that is pertinent to the game and subject. Because of the specified nature of stat tables as well that games across the ''Megami Tensei'' franchise can vary greatly with their mechanics, each game has their own dedicated stat tables. A game may have separate stat tables used specifically for allies, enemies, bosses, and others depending on its individual needs. | |||
[[:Category:Stat Table Templates]] has a full list of available stat tables. | |||
Stat tables have a range of information parameters that will display formatted data when filled. Any information added should be sourced from the games wherever possible, such as from a stat screen or from data-mining. Information can also be sourced from official guide publications as well; however, be aware that even some official guides have also been known to contain errors and may not always be 100% accurate. It is therefore recommended to cross-reference any sources used. | |||
Skills are added differently. Skill information are stored in modules, which are called into the stat table and automatically adds the appropriate data. See the Skills subsection for a full explanation. | |||
Information added to stat tables should be kept concise wherever possible, being no more than a sentence long. At times, there may be complicated information that would otherwise become too lengthy to explain within a stat table. In such cases, the information should instead be presented outside of the stat table as a short sentence or paragraph. For example: In ''Shin Megami Tensei'', Fiends have a 1 in 256 chance of spawning on specific tile coordinates in dungeons. Because of this complexity, their encounter location should be explained as a paragraph before the stat table and not within it. | |||
