Dragon Warrior Monsters/ROM map

The following article is a ROM map for Dragon Warrior Monsters.

Bank 41

There's a table at ROM41:4007 which points to the various string tables stored in this bank.

Personality name tables

ROM41:4997 personality name pointer table, size of 2x27, all pointing to within this bank.
   These are indexed by (idx(Charge) * 9 + idx(Mixed) * 3 + idx(Cautious)) where idx(x) is:
    * 0 if x >= 0xC0
    * 1 if 0x40 <= x < 0xC0
    * 2 if x < 0x40
   Effectively this means the indexes are best to worst, worsening Cautious first, then carrying from Mixed, etc.
ROM41:7159 personality names start here, each terminated by F0, in the order specified by the pointer table.

Personality adjustment tables

These tables are 4x8, each row containing 1 byte each of the adjustments for Charge, Mixed, Cautious, and Motivation respectively. Each table represents what happens when you select a certain Plan in battle. The row corresponds to a combination of the monster's current Motivation and level. Note that selecting Fight makes no adjustments to personality stats.
