I like it. The layout is MUCH easier to follow, especially in the confusion of combat. It should speed combat up as you no longer have to read the entire statblock each round to decide what the creature will do. Of course, you could always just memorize each stat block, I reckon.

Wow – that’s pretty slick. A marked improvement over the old format.

I’ve been using a similar format as well for monsters. I never use the Monster Builder’s layout or read directly from the books. I actually transcribe the monster stats into my own format. It sounds tedious, I know, but the simple act of transcription allows me to study how the monsters work so that by the time I’ve finished copying them I know how to use them tactically.

Nice! That is much easier to read.
