What is the point of statblocks?

You can do something similar, but not have the 'combat' stats visible all the time by saving out the formatted tables as RTF files. Then, link them to the Statblock snippet. When you view it, you can go into edit mode, you can edit the RW copy of the snippeted RTF table. Then, when necessary, you can call up the combat stats in a tab for use. For people who want less clutter in their main article page for a creature, this is a good option. You can then export out the table if you'd like to a file after editing it. (Although I seem to be having a small glitch with RTF formatting in Wordpad and Libre/OpenOffice right now. MS Word is fine)
