Build Your Own Monsters
Utilize the 676 pre-made features to quickly build your own monsters. Every feature utilizes dynamic lookups in the description which update automatically when added to a creature and when the feature is updated. That means names, attack and damage bonuses, spell save DCs, escape checks, ranges, and more will be handled for you with a simple drag and drop. If you'd like to increase or decrease the power of a feature you can change most values as desired and they will be automatically reflected in the feature's description. If you'd like to use a customized version of a feature from a creature simply drag and drop it from the creature's sheet onto your new monster.
Creatures for Every Encounter
Find the perfect creature for your encounter with built-in support for the Compendium Browser. You can filter creatures out based on their size, type, habitat, and even movement type. Once you've found the creatures you want to use just drag and drop them directly from the Browser to a Journal or Scene to start using them.
