Types?

There seem to be three types in use creature, Caste, or special. What does that mean? For example, why NAME is creature type but its DESCRIPTION is a Caste type. --Jan (talk) 16:25, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

Creature-level tokens apply to the whole creature, while caste-level tokens can be different for each caste. Special has to do with creature variations, these tokens act on some meta-level (before the others?) and decide how/which other tokens are loaded. --Voliol (talk) 00:49, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

So, caste-level tokens CAN be applied to the entire creature, but are also individually applicable to each caste. I think I was also misinterpreting the phrase "Caste-specific" in some of the notes. So yeah, that makes much more sense now. Qeveren (talk) 00:54, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
