Creating Monsters and other NPCs

[Doomskull]

I have been looking for a quick way to create custom NPCs and monsters and found a good Monster Maker program (and some other tools) here https://www.sdoddler.com/d-d-tools. You can save as an HTML file or a PNG or print it out (you could also print it to a PDF this way!)

If your using Par5E for parsing your creations, you can copy and paste the info from the preview stat block in the Monster Maker UI to your npc.txt file with nearly no alterations (the formatting seems to line up), run Par5E and bingo, it's in FG! I have been using it exclusively to make my more intricate NPCs and monsters.

Hope this helps somebody!

I assume you meant to link to this:

I've been looking for a tool that'll auto-calculate custom monster CR, so I'll have to give this a try.

Most of my monsters are homebrew and for the most part I can gauge their new CR based on the template monster I used and then adjust up/down from that.

That's the link for the monster maker but the original link has some other nifty programs also!

Post #1. But it seems to be down.

Indeed, which is why I asked

thanks however for the response

OK, you originally essentially asked "what other link?" Not, "the other link doesn't work."

Thanks for clarifying what you were actually asking.

Sorry, the original site that had the additional tools does seem to be down. The Monster Maker link is working though.
