    This is not a huge thing (to me), but it would be nice to have space for additional move speeds/types.

    Something like:

    Speed ____ Climb _____ Fly _____ Hover ______ Dig _______

    Alternately limit the number of choices, but allow us to type text and #'s into the field (the current speed field allows only the entry of numeric data).

    Like this:

    Speed ________ ________

    Of course, to be trully useful, this information would need to appear when the DM opened the mob portrait.

    Since you have fixed my information display issue, I will cease adding to the list.

    For a few days, at least.

    Kill hover and put swim instead.

    Don't need fly and hover... and instead of calling it dig call it burrow.

    In 4e @ least, One can not necessarily hover - just because they can fly.

    I agree that burrow is better, but took up more space :)

    Actually, since we don't enforce movement, we could just make the entire movement field a long text field. That way you can put whatever you want.

    An alternative is to allow users to make unlimited number of fields with a number - just like how we add damage lines to attacks (1d6 fire, 1d10 slashing, etc). We could have a number and text field per line in a window. When the user accepts, it puts them all into a single line (like DR and ER) and uses commas to separate them.


    30 Base
    10 Fly
    5 Burrow
    2 Gimpy Limp

    becomes... Base 30, Fly 10, Burrow 5, Gimpy Limp 2

    Either of those work well.

    Right now, I use the "Hit Dice" box to list a secondary movement, but that isn't always sufficient.
