Lol, honestly, I don't know. I guess it's just a habit I've gotten into, as the definitions seem like point form to me, so I don't capitalize them unless they start with a proper noun. If it's a problem I could fix them and try and break my habit.

Lol. I posted that a year ago yesterday. Since then I've gotten into the habit of actually capitalizing the first letter of definitions, and also putting abilities/Force powers in the order that they would appear on a card (ie, have things like Unique, Droid, Flight, etc. first, followed by things like Melee Attack and Extra Attacks if the card has a lot of text, and then list the remaining abilities in alphabetical order). It takes a bit extra thought, but I think it's worth it.

Yeah, it is. I never even noticed that the abilities are often listed in alphabetical order by WotC until a few months ago. Lol. I noticed other consistencies too, like how WotC almost always use "get" to describe a CE that increases (or decreases, a la Nute) base stats (ie Malak's CE, GOWK's CE), and use "gain" when a CE gives out special abilities (ie Captain Rex's CE, Han Solo Rebel Hero's CE). I never noticed that pattern before, and I've only found one character who deviates from it.

I always kinda suspected it, and I've known for a year or so. But I just didn't care before. Lol.
The gain/get difference is interesting. I've just always used "gain" on my customs. Oh well. What's the one character?

Lol. It is pretty minor. And it can be a headache to remember what order to put those abilities that don't follow the pattern (Melee Attack, Extra Attacks, Flight, Droid, Savage, etc.) in.
Lol. The one character is Freedon Nadd, from MotF. CE: Allies without a Force rating within 6 squares GAIN +4 attack. I haven't looked at all the CEs, but that's the only one that I've noticed.

Right.
Huh. WotC wasn't very consistent, were they?

For the most part they were, but there are some obvious anomalies that should have never happened. Of course, it's not as big a deal as the other mistakes that we love so much to point out. Lol.

Like the Dark Side Adept, or Lucien Draay.
