I am working on something that I intend to submit to the Rifter. One of the things mentioned in the submission guidelines is follow Palladium's standard format/ stat block for character stats. My potential submission features a few statted NPCs.
This leads to my question: what is Palladium's standard format for a stat block?
I've been checking a couple of different sources as references, one is Mutant Underground and the other is Rifter #35.
Is it something like this:
Name:
True Name:
Occupation:
Alignment:
Hit Points: S.D.C.:
Weight: X Pounds (X kg), Height: X Feet (X m), Age:
Attributes: I.Q. X, M.E. X, M.A. X, P.S. X, P.P. X, P.E. X, P.B. X, Spd. X
Disposition:
Experience Level:
Power Category:
How improtant is the order of individual parts? For instance, this layout was based on one or two specific Mutant underground NPCs, but many of them have Attributes coming before Hit Points, S.D.C., and The height, weight, age line.

This is indeed a disturbing universe.
First there is a mountain. Then there is no mountain. Then there is.
As ninety-nine red balloons go by.

If that doesn't prompt you to buy it, I don't know what else I can say.
