:I linked the monster template to this page so curious folk can see what frequency is all about. IMHO, the names add nothing, whereas the number is at least meaningful (frequency 5 really is 5 times more frequent than frequency 1). We don't, for example, use names for experience points granted ("not much", "some", "a bunch", "loads"). --[[User:Jayt|Jayt]] 15:25, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
