Off topic, but -- does there exist a database of the monsters in the SRD in a format that I could import into Access and play around with?

boy-howdy would I like an entire set too. Although my prefered format (read: the only format I know how to manipulate well) is MS Excel.

@ J.R.: I grabbed a partial copy off a website linked on ENWorld. I've forgotten where, tho'. Sorry.

http://www.andargor.com/ has some nice stuff, including an SRD database in MySQL (which sadly does not easily import to Access)

Edit: The XML format, on the other hand, does

Useful table Nail, fancy doing one for PCs?

Yes, yes, I know Access is not a haxor-riffic as using Perl or whatever... but I know how to program in Access, so there. Anyway. Any help would be appreciated.

Adargor's site has XML and MySQL versions. You can import the mysql database into access pretty easily, or install MySQL on your pc, and then set up an ODBC DSN and connect to it through Access.

Ouch. Sorry, but...too many acronyms.

I hope you kept your data so you can give us the standard deviations.

Done.

Note: CR 20 hp have a huge St. Dev. Care to guess the monster that causes this?

Hint: It's name starts with a "T".

Huh. Ever been attacked by the Blood Fiend? It's ouchy-broken for its CR, IMHO. Etc.

But on the other hand, you have many monsters like the darkweaver and the keeper.

Maybe a graph with a best fit line would be useful?

Sure!

Doing a curve fit and rounding off to workable numbers, I came up with:

AC = 5/4 * CR + 10. (Nail's plot has +13, but I have the same R^2 with ~+10 instead of ~+13)

HP = 9/10 * CR^2 + 30. (I figured to try a quadratic because as HD increase so does CON)

I'd just like to say that I noticed this thread a few days ago, have noted and recorded the results.

As a rule of thumb these are of interest to me.
