[Feature Request] "Spirit" Creature Sheet Quality of Life and Housekeeping
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Some banes/spirits in WtA (Oorlath immediately comes to mind) come with the Charm, "Embody" which allows them to have a suitable combat form. This also comes with a "stat block" complete with attributes and abilities. Using an Oorlath as an example, they get Strength 4, Dexterity 3, Stamina 3, Intelligence 1, Perception 3, and Wits 1. This is alongside Athletics 4, Brawl 4, Dodge 2, and Primal-Urge 4 (although yes, Dodge is depreciated).
As it stands, the "easiest" way to circumvent them not having any such normal attributes/abilities is to put a table and refer to it any time they do an attack or insert custom attacks with flat rolls, or refer to this table rather than using the normal rolling.
Describe the solution you'd like Ultimately what I suggest is a Quality-of-Life improvement to have the "spirit" creature sheet similar to the generic creature sheet; An Attributes and Abilities list where the Abilities can be toggled on or off, and the Attributes can be set in the settings menu. Additionally, customizable health levels. All within the "settings" tab of the sheet.
Finally, one custom text field next to name to type in the type of spirit since there are some broad categories of spirits such as "war" or "bane" or "plant" or the like.
I would ultimately leave this as an optional feature per Storyteller, though, because charms like Materialize indeed states that a bane uses Gnosis, Rage, and Willpower in place of Attributes/Abilities, but if a Storyteller wanted it does give a neat option to give tangible statistics to their spirits and in turn make them into freakish horrors to be avoided or helpful allies in certain Umbral vistas.
