Extraction Tips

Common Formats

Stat blocks typically appear as:

CREATURE NAME
Attributes: Agility d8, Smarts d6, Spirit d8, Strength d10, Vigor d8
Skills: Athletics d8, Fighting d10, Intimidation d8, Notice d6
Pace: 6; Parry: 7; Toughness: 8
Edges: Brawny, Sweep
Special Abilities:
• Ability Name: Description
Gear: Long sword (Str+d8), plate armor (+4)

Handle Variations

• Short-hand: "Str+d8" or "d8+2"
• Parentheticals: "(includes +2 armor)"
• Notes: "* Indicates Wild Card"
• Multiple Entries: Extract all creatures from multi-creature entries

Edge Cases

• Variable Stats: Extract all options (e.g., "d6-d10")
• Mounted: Separate mount stats if present
• Swarms: Special toughness rules
• Size Modifiers: Account for Size affecting stats

Multi-Creature Extraction

If extracting from a bestiary section, output an array:

{
  "creatures": [
    { /* creature 1 */ },
    { /* creature 2 */ },
    { /* creature 3 */ }
  ],
  "source": {
    "book": "Book Name",
    "section": "Bestiary",
    "pages": "120-135"
  }
}

Output Format

After extraction, provide:

1. Extracted JSON: Clean, validated JSON data
2. Extraction Notes: Any ambiguities or assumptions made
3. Validation Summary: Quick check that stats make sense
4. Source Info: Book, page number, edition

Be thorough and preserve all mechanical information while formatting consistently for Savaged.us import.
