Monster Blueprint Change Log

This page keeps a log of what changes were made to the monster template, or monster blueprint.

At this time, any blueprint of version 2.0 or higher is acceptable. All 2.0x changes have been very cosmetic. However, new monsters should use the newest blueprint.

Any monsters not already in a blueprint showing version 2.0 or later should be converted to the newest template.
