Everything is in the title
It would be great to specify a default value for snippets that are automatically added by a category. For instance, If create a category Vampire (NPC for dark age), I'd like to include a preformated statblock designed for such NPC. Or is there already a way to do it ? |

Create an entry with everything how you want it as a template. Then duplicate it to your heart's content.

Create a Topic or Article for a creature. Write it up as completely as possible and do all of the formatting you'd like for the statblock and such.
Make sure you Save your changes. (You may want to use the paper/eye icon or press Ctrl-E to leave editing.) Click the hammer/wrench icon in the Content Pane or press F7. In the menu, pick Duplicate Topic/Article, In this Category. Rename it "Creature Template". Delete all of the specific information you had for the old creature, but leave the formatting. (You may have to or want to leave some dummy text.) Now when you want to make a new creature, Duplicate the "Creature Template" Topic/Article and start from there. Hope this helps.

I still feel that would be the job of the category but I can live with the template/copy/paste solution. Thanks for the suggestion.
