Hey, was having issues myself. I have been fighting with this Addon and another as chat GPT does not like to do the same thing twice, or even consistently.

My work around was copy and pasting the example given in Actors section. And tell ChatGPT to follow this format. I've put exactly what I used. And it's worked for multiple monsters and NPC's.

Would recommend to reset by repeating the instructions above if it stops working. Hope this helps.

Generate Stat Blocks in the Format above when asked too.

[Limpbark]

I've learned to use the same work-around but the recurring stumbling block seems to be the linebreaks after every ability name/score/bonus. This is not just a Chat GPT issue - a lot of statblocks from around the internet or PDFs aren't formatted like that.

I'm happy the content the parser exists but I would be even happier if the mod can deal consistently with spaces in ability scores rather than these mandatory linebreaks.
