D&D 5E Pathfinder to 5e Monster Converter

Is there anywhere that lists what updates have been made to the converter?

Kryx · Aug 3, 2015

I've been posting updates here. My git for this is set to private, but I'll continue to post updates here since this is where it has got the most response.

Spells got converted a bit ago - that was the last main thing. Since then I've been working on my roll20 sheet and scripts.

Is there something specific that you're missing?

No just curious about updates. I would suggest listing updates on the site though.

Hi Kryx, I'm new to D&D in general and have started 5th edition, I love the variety of monsters that pathfinder has so I'd love to bring them into 5th edition, so thanks very much for your converter! It's a great resource, especially since I love the pathfinder pawns but not a whole lot of them cross over with 5th edition. Saying that, does your converter work for everything in the bestiary? I can't seem to get anything more advanced to work, things like dragons and bigger or more challenging creatures for example. I was wondering if the converter still hasn't been updated with those creatures or if it was just me doing something wrong. I'm copying and pasting from the PFSRD so I'm not sure. Thanks again, and if you could let me know that would be much appreciated good sir!

All the basic stuff should work for all monsters besides swarms.

Advanced stuff has to be done on a case by case basis - it's basically data entry.

Currently those hours have been dedicated to my sheet on roll20, but I plan to work on adding more special attention attacks and stuff soon.

If anyone wishes to help with converting special attacks or special qualities to 5e let me know.

So what is your sheet on roll20?

The 5e Shaped Sheet and monster/spell importer.

Thanks for getting back to me. I don't need any of the more advanced creatures for the foreseeable future anyway, but hopefully you will have more time to add stuff down the road. I might just follow the guide and do it by hand. Thanks again.
