Catalogs (Gamedata)

With the !monster and !attack commands, you can retrieve monster's details and signature attacks from the various corebooks.

The data is stored for Sebedius inside Catalogs in the ./gamedata/ folder. These files are ;-separated .csv tables.

Monsters Catalog Syntax

The table should contain several columns. Each column defines a "property" of the monster. Each line defines the properties of a single monster.

strength, agility, wits, empathy	Number	Attributes of the monster, or their equivalents.
speed	Number	Speed of the monster: how many initiative cards it draws in combat.
hp	Number	Health value of the monster. Usually equal to the Strength attribute.
armor	Number(s)	Armor Rating of the monster. Specific types of resistances are defined with the syntax type:value, like fire:2. Multiple values are separated with a | horizontal bar character. For damage immunities, use a value of 1000.

Monster's Attack Syntax

A monster's attack can be defined by several different syntaxes:

Syntax	Example	Description
plain text	Hello World!	Plain text.
atk-<filename>	atk-xeno-bloodburster	Redirects towards a signature attack file.
{unarmed}	{unarmed}	Unarmed attack. Shortcut for {unarmed:0:1:0}
{<name>}	{kungfu}	Shortcut for {<name>:0:1:r0}.
{<weaponID>}	{wmyz-scrapknife}	Redirects to a weapon from the catalogs.
{<name>:<effect>}	{repairs:Can perform repairs.}	Creates a special attack with only a name and an effect.
{<name>:<bonus>:<damage>:[c|r]<range>}	{acid spit:0:1:2}	Creates an attack with name, bonus, damage and range. Fixed Bonus Value: Use (bonus) in parentheses to set a fixed value of dice not increased by the monster's stats. Fixed Damage Value: Use (damage) in parentheses to set a fixed value of damage not increased by stunts. Range Prefixes: • c → Forces close-combat. E.g. c1 • r → Forces ranged-combat. E.g. r0
{<name>:<bonus>:<damage>:[c|r]<range>:<special>}	{attack:0:1:0:Inflicts doubt instead of damage.}	Same as above, but with an additional special effect. Auto Replace: • ~ → Monster's name • ~success → Success symbol • \n → Carriage return
