Import Stat Block

[jbakse]

It would be great to be able to import stat blocks created with a tool like 5emm or this Statblock Generator but I don't think improved-initiative supports any of the export formats offered by either.

5emm exports its own proprietary format .json files.
Statblock Generator exports .monster files, which I think are also proprietary.

I'm wondering if there is a known tool for generating stat blocks compatible with improved initiative. And if not, I'm wondering if you would be open to a PR to import from one of these tools?

The statblock generator @jbakse references is hands-down the best statblock generator on the web, so I would also be interested in that feature. If there's any info on what format Improved Initiative can import, I would even be willing to look at writing some conversion code ...

heyo 5emm maintainer here, just stumbled across the improved initiative project and could definitely take a look at writing an exporter for this format. If there's a schema definition somewhere that'd make it easier for me to implement, but otherwise I can just take a look at examples of monsters already in the project :)
