Bestiary

When you encounter monsters, their card is always blank except for their names/visible aspects and their Skill ranks which tells you the SR of the encounter.

A Skill Rating (SR) determines the number of points the monster has to fill out their skill pyramid. For example, an SR3 encounter might have 1 Fair (+2) and 2 Average (+1) Skills or a single Good (+3) Skill. While monsters must still obey skill columns, their lowest skill doesn't have to start at Mediocre (+0).

The sole caveat is that the monsters will always have the same skills, just at different values since any monster can potentially appear at any given SR. Their aspects, however, may change from encounter to encounter.

Example: A Poorly Armed Kobold raiding party might have Unusually Good Weapons the next time you encounter them. However, they'll always have the same three Skills: Crafts, Stealth, Deceive, just at different ranks.

Monsters can have stunts too. Usually they have at most 3 different stunts, but can only have one of them per encounter.
