More Creatures!!! I appreciate the kind words of support. And to answer your question--yes for the time being but the list continues to grow. However, with that said I am currently sitting on the remaining list of over 300 more creatures which are about 95% done. I parsed them out of some other...

I have taken the initial approach that the illegality of something is up to the DM. So the random generator doesn't really take that into account. I have programmed in the rules into the templates so I all would have to do is have the random generator take that into account when picking out...

Tailored vs. Random Encounters I believe I am getting a picture of what you want. Are you talking about having more tailored encounters generated with the random encounter generator? Such as having 2 warlocks and 4 demons or 1 druid and 2 dire wolves. This also gives me the thought that while...

The WarlockLord has but to ask for the Overlord to respond. I am currently working on a Lich template and I will let you know when I officially release it.

There is nothing an infinite supply of cheap labor can't accomplish You ask and the benevolent overlord shall respond. I shall inform you the moment the celestial template is released. I have completed the necessary code already.

Quickened Advancer Upgraded For those of you still keeping score I just upgraded the quickened advancer to allow templates to be added there as well. Also highlighted my print friendly view with a print-preview link as well as added creatures that are great mounts, horses, riding dogs...

Things to do, the joy of priorities 1) I am planning on getting most feats in there that are SRD. If you have certain ones that you would like let me know and I can slip a few in as I am focusing on a lot of other elements currently. 2) It does not currently enforce prereqs but it is already...

Kobolds should not be overlooked! I am simply still in the process of entering all the creatures and kobolds aren't in there yet but they will be making the next release. It is possible that their small sizes caused me to overlook them but I will remedy this shortly. I will let everyone know...

Browser Compatibility The application is currently compatible and tested on Firefox 2.0-3.0, Chrome 1.0 & 2.0, Safari 3.0 & 4.0, IE6,IE7 and IE8 and Opera 9+. Actually, I have had no reports of browser specific issues (which is something I shoot for). The quickened version and random encounter...

Equipment and spells will definitely be in eventually. I am currently spending most of my time getting the rest of the Monster Manual OGL creatures into the system and adjusting for the current quirks in both the advancer portion and random encounter generator. But, fear not, your desires match...

The session I am currently running is also at 15th level and they are tricksy...While I believe in challenging them the odds of victory against a CR19 dragon are 3720 to 1....that is if they are pimped out as any intelligent dragon should be. With that said you know your party best so do what...

Auto skill assignment Hey just wanted to get back to you guys and let you know that the skill stuff in out there and working. The Overlord does not sleep and the Monster Advancer is ever-improving. It auto-assigns using a basic strategy right now that tries to max out class skills. I am going...

I am planning on having several checkboxes to "turn off" several things like templates, template rules, multi-classing, etc. As far as the clicking I am using the built-in default for all browsers. I have written my own widget for such things that you can see on the main Monster Advancer (see...

Ideas transmogrified into reality A downloadable version is on my to-do list. It will be accomplished eventually one way or the other...eventually. This is not the idle promise of a half-hearted developer but the promise of a application developer who loves D&D...so let it be written, so let it...

I just thought I would let people know as this has been a fairly popular portion of the Monster Advancer. The random encounter generator now lets you generate a number of creatures a given CR or generate an encounter at any level you specify (it does the # of creatures and distributions to...

Character Generator vs. Monster/NPC Generator You are dead on there. A little bit of customization after generation isn't that tough...but maintaining information about everything to continually jockey it all around is a lot tougher. And you are right about my example. The max ranks is what is...

Program Scope and Functionality This probably could be its own thread but just for fun... I believe Wizards always realized the potential of applications for their products but never managed to figure out how to accomplish it. They attempted character generators, e-tools and several other...

Feature Requests Wow, You guys really got after it on those feature requests. My focus for this weekend's release is all the main classes that are common NPC fodder. Human, elf (multiple varieties), dwarf, half-orc, orc, etc. As well as most of the dragons. The Random Encounter Generator...

Holy Grail It is indeed my goal to become the holy grail of monster & npc advancement and generation but I realize I am not quite there. I am currently in the process of entering the default feats for most creatures and will probably set up some system to auto-assigning of relevant feats beyond...
