Can you reverse theprocess to export an actor to a statblock, or even a csv?? Id pay $100 for that at the actor level or a compendium of actor entries. Lmk

Do you mean just have it spit out a plain text statblock from the actor? Nothing fancy? And are you talking about NPC/monster statblocks, or player characters?

I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for. If you can give me more details I'll reopen this, but I'm closing it for now.

Hiya James,The plain WotC monster/NPC statblock format. Something you could tweak and reupload if you wanted (using your tool, of course!)I dont know what the PC format would look like. Not sure anyone would use it unless it merged or was formatted into a character sheet. I just homebrew a ton of monsters to keep my players guessing and find that the FVTT is magical for tweaking stats and dropping spells and abilities together. -------- Original message --------From: James Haywood @.> Date: 6/27/22 12:35 AM (GMT-06:00) To: jbhaywood/5e-statblock-importer @.> Cc: meta5by5 @.>, Author @.> Subject: Re: [jbhaywood/5e-statblock-importer] export too?

It sounds like you want to export statblocks for monsters that only exist in Foundry? That you don't already have the text statblock for? If that's the case, I think that might infringe on their license and I wouldn't want this module to get banned or anything.

lol. This request was so long ago that I completely forgot about it. Since existing monster statblocks already exist, there's no need for an export of them. FVTT has the unique ability to build statblocks and create your own NPCs. It is those that would be great to export. A disclaimer should be good since most anything risks violation of WoTC/Hasbro's hold on stuff. Even the statblock format itself.
