Stats
To calculate the stats of a creature you first must know what level of creature you wish to use. Once you know its level multiply all of the creature's base stats by it's level. A creature’s stat has no upper limit like a player’s stats and thus may be as large as required for a creature. Creatures have strength, finesse, arcana, constitution and perception stats. Instead of a speed stat they have a static movement stat which dictates how many tiles the creature can move in its turn.
Health
health of a creature is calculated by their adjusted constitution multiplied by their level.
Saving Throws
Creatures have a base resolve and resilience saving throws as well which should be adjusted using the stat multiplier just like stats.
Skills and Abilities
Creatures are considered to not have any skills or discipline abilities like players do. However creatures do have offensive abilities that may be the same or similar to player useable abilities, especially if the creature is a spellcaster.
Blocking, Dodging and Parrying
If creatures are capable of blocking they will have a base blocking threshold which you should add the creature's adjusted strength stat to. The dodging threshold is the creatures finesse stat and its parrying threshold is it's strength stat.
