[DF] Fast NPC stats notation

[Peter V. Dell'Orto]

I actually do everything in a compressed statline. I was about halfway through writing a blog post about it, but I'll excerpt it here. Say I have a DFM1 Troll:

Trolls (ST 20 DX 13 IQ 10 HT 12 HP 20 Will 10 Per 10 FP 12 Speed 6.25 Move 6 SM+1 Dodge 10 Parry 11(x2) DR 0 Bite-15 2d cutting C grapple on SM+0 Claws(x2)-15 2d+1 cutting C-2 IT(NB,NV) Regen Dark Vision Stealth-15 DFM1 p.31)

That's all I need to go on for monster stats. It's long for a generic NPC, but not terribly so. For guys with gear, just note it. I'd write, say, Dodge 10+DB, Parry 10+DB, Block 9+DB and add "medium shield DB2" to the end of the writeup.

While the "Ninja-17" thing seems like it would work pretty well, I personally needed something for monsters, too.
