<strong>NAME, LEVEL, AND SPECIES:</strong>
<p>
At the top of the creature profile, you will find the creature's name,
their level (ranging from a minimum of 5 to a maximum of 60), and finally
their Species.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<strong>DESCRIPTION AND TYPICAL TRAITS:</strong>
<p>
Each profile features a short description of the creature, followed by a
list of typical (but not universal) Traits for that type of creature. The
Game Master should always consider these Traits when portraying the
creature or adjudicating the consequences of actions — a peaceful creature
is more likely to listen to reason than an aggressive one, for instance.
</p>
<p>
Villains can also spend Ultima Points to invoke Traits and reroll dice
(page 101).
</p>
</li>
<li>

<p>
This line provides you with the creature's main and secondary statistics:
</p>

<li>
HP indicates the creature's maximum Hit Points, followed by their Crisis
score.
</li>
<li>MP indicates the creature's maximum Mind Points.</li>

already takes all relevant bonuses and penalties into account, such as
those from armor or Skills.
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<strong>DEFENSES:</strong>
<p>This section lists the creature's defensive statistics:</p>
<ul>
<li>
Defense (DEF) may be listed as a fixed number (if the creature is
wearing martial armor) or as a bonus to be added to their current
Dexterity die size.
</li>
<li>
Magic Defense (M.DEF) is always listed as a bonus to be added to the
creature's current Insight die size.

Skills.
