I wonder if RPGNow knows that the demo hyperlink isn't responding properly.

Ah, but it is working though. The link leads to a smaller, free product (the Assassin's Spellbook) which also contains a demo of all of the products in the much larger bundle. The link goes to the place where you download (for free) the Assassin's Spellbook, as well as the Blackguard spellbook and the Adept spellbook and demos of the 12+ other PDFs in the larger, FULL Bundle (over 3,500 PDF pages) with index/interface (see attached image). The Creature Stat Block PDF is available on its own or currently on sale with the FuLL Bundle (the smart buy).

SRD 3.5 Stat Blocks & Standard Format Monsters

I'm not exactly sure from the ecommerce description but this looks like a book of stat blocks for the basic SRD mosters.

I'm talking about a book that has:

Orc
Orc/F1
Orc/F2
Orc/F3
Orc/F4...

Completely "kitted" with appropriate gear, spell lists, domains, etc.

Example: Somewhere in this book would be a complete stat block for a 15th level Pixie Ranger.

For extra credit, you could do common multiclass combos (1 level of Rogue, 1 level of Monk,1 level of Paladin, 1 level of Barbarian, etc.)

I've found that having the base stat blocks allow me to quickly advance any creature from the SRD into whatever I like, and for when they don't need advancing I just copy and paste them into a text file/Word doc for the adventure I am prepping (I've saved hours and hours during prep). However, to reach the level of completion you expouse (all creatures, all classes, all levels, variations on equipment, etc.) I think that would require a bit of time. Perhaps if I get started I can have it ready for you before D&D 12E becomes obsolete.

Here's the first 1/2 of 1 percent....

A source of statted out everything / every level would be great but I agree with Rodrigo -
It has to be in electronic form. This day and age it doesn't make sense not to be.

how about a character generator in which you choose a race or a creature a class or normal monster advancement and a challenge rating and it gives you lots of stat blocks for variations of it. or you create a creature or a character give it class levels basic stats and give it items and it calculates all the other stuff and also tells you what challenge rating it is.
how about an item generator in which you set an item with all sorts of spacials and magical abilities and it calculates its price.
if such things do exist out there, please give me a link.

I have to agree with others that this would benefit from being an electronic product. An actual print book like this would be pretty dadgum thick, I'm thinking. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

me too.

the complete idiot's guide to d02 roleplaying.

i wasn't joking.

i brought it up to (T)Ed Stark online and in person.

a handy guide to help people who don't get the rules. understand them a little better.

I think that'd be a good product. The "Idiot's (Dummy's? I forget which) Guide to D&D" wasn't really much like what I was hoping it would be.

Does the Mother of All Encounter Tables fit into this category?

I think it's a good example. It's also a book I like a lot.

Chaosium released a series of stat-books like this for Runequest back in the 70s ("Trolls & Trollkin," "Scorpionmen & Broos," etc.), and while they weren't glamorous and aren't remembered in the same manner as classic RQ supplements like Trollpak and Cults of Prax, for a GM trying to run a campaign they were tremendous time-savers and I only wish they'd continued the practice in RQ3 (as it was I ended up re-using the same stat-blocks from Monster Colliseum over and over). GDW did the same thing for Traveller (the first Traveller supplement in 1978 was called "1001 Characters," and that's exactly what it was -- a list of 1001 pregenerated character stat-blocks), and even TSR released "The Rogues Gallery" (the original 1E version, not the 2E one).
