This is just a suggestion. The new bonus action box is a great addition imo though I do think it should be where "Monster Characteristics" is on the page. I'd even probably move "Monster Characteristics" to the bottom or maybe above "Lair and Lair Actions". Just my two cents for ease of access but maybe that's just me.
If you mean the actual statblocks: They’re not allowed to change those outlines. Those statblocks and their layout is all set by D&D’s publisher, a company called WotC.
If you mean the creation tool: Then yes, I 100% agree with you. It absolutely would be more convenient if the form’s fields went in the same order that the statblock uses. However, they probably shoehorned it in where the could stick it quickly because they had to finish it as a rush job.
FYI: That isn’t really a “homebrewer,” they just call it that. It’s really the exact same creation platform that this website’s Devs use to recreate the official content. They just stuck some stuff behind Admin privileges (Mods & Staff) and set other stuff to User privileges (the rest of us) and opened the doors for us. So, that isn’t really a supported tool at the moment. It is, always has been, and for the foreseeable future will be a pretty “rough & ready” tool. Eventually they’ll get around to the total do-over that the system needs, but they’re too busy using it at the moment to fix all of the stuff that’s more of a priority at the moment.
I just mean the creation tool. It's fine the way it is for the most part, I can live with it. The page for monsters just feels disorganized to me. Like all the stats you set AC, average health, e.t.c. should be at the top with the name and info. The smaller boxes for actions and traits make sense but the bonus actions box should match those and the monster characteristics box should be under legendary and mythic actions. I'm sure it'll change eventually, just figured I'd post the suggestion.
