[top]Explanation of (cls)

This template supports up to eight different spellcasting/power-manifesting/invocation-using progressions which is specified by the parameters cls1 through cls8. Any parameter that has the marker (cls) is to have the marker replaced with any of the values that were assigned to cls1 through cls8.
For example, if "Wizard" was assigned cls1 like so:
|cls1=Wizard
Then to specify what 1st-level wizard spells the creature has prepared (which is done by the parameter (cls)sp1), you'd define the parameter Wizardsp1 and set it as follows:
|Wizardsp1=''Charm Person'', ''Magic Missile'', ''True Strike'' (DC 14)
And to specify what spells are in the creature's spellbook (by the parameter (cls)grim1), you use the following:
|Wizardgrim1=''Identify'', ''Endure Elements'', ''Hold Portal''
What values you use for the (cls) marker must match exactly the clsX parameters, which is very important if you choose to use hyperlinks:
|cls1=[[Wizard (SRD Class)|Wizard]]
|[[Wizard (SRD Class)|Wizard]]sp1=''Charm Person'', ''Magic Missile'', ''True Strike'' (DC 14)
|[[Wizard (SRD Class)|Wizard]]grim1=''Identify'', ''Endure Elements'', ''Hold Portal''

[top]Explanation of (freq)

Same as (cls) but you use the values assigned to freq1?freq20 instead.
Example:
|freq1=At will
|freq2=1/week
|slaAt will=''detect evil''
|sla1/week=''remove disease'' (DC 16)
