[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8865240, member: 57383"] I'd argue it's "List: 1 potion" since "1" is the first word, not "potion". Also,[B][I] it's a list.[/I][/B] Offhand, lists tend to be all lowercase after the colon (i.e. List: [I]potion of pedantry[/I], 2 [I]rings of niggling[/I], etc." or every entry in the list has some consistent form of capitalisation (i.e. List: [I]Potion of Pedantry[/I]; 2 Gold Rings worth 50 gp each; a Scroll of the spell [I]Fog Grammar[/I]). If only the first word after the colon is capitalized, that's usually an indication that the Capitalized word is the start of a complete and separate sentence. That's possible with a List but I don't recall when I last saw it. Or it's a matter of personal preference, like Humpty Dumpty: [INDENT]“When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]’The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]’The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master — that’s all.”[/INDENT] Just substitute "colon" for "word". :p Not quite, the original was in 1976's "White Box" [I]Dungeon & Dragons[/I] and named Gray Ooze. It was the 1976's [I]Eldritch Wizardry[/I] that used Grey Ooze, and D&D went back to Gray Ooze in subsequent publications. Apart from [I]Eldritch Wizardry[/I] (1976), the only other official source I could find that calls them Grey Ooze is [I]PHBR5 - Complete Psionics Handbook[/I] (1991). [/QUOTE]
