13th Age 13th Age monsters in 5E

[Psikerlord#]

Yes, and I'm glad. I like 5e much more than 13th Age, but there's enough good stuff in 13th Age that is usable, so it's win win.

Yes I like both systems, although I prefer 5e, and there are some great bits of 13th Age that can be borrowed to enhance a 5e game!

Some great work done already, it looks like 13th age is a good fir for 5e, this fills me with optimism! I'm going to have a look over the weekend about stating up some 5e monsters with 13th age trimmings

Thanks for the work guys!

I, for one, would be very interested in seeing this list...

Me too. This sounds very cool.

So let me know what you think. I think it would be easy to implement these, and maybe even the escalation die for another mechanic, but that might be a little trickier.

That's a great and incredibly useful list. I'll link to the 13th Age open source SRD, and encourage people to actually buy the books. They're freakin' awesome, and I say that with great prejudice because I've written for them.

Yes, they ARE useful, and for someone who might be a book-a-holic and discouraged by 5e's slow rollout, it's a perfect supplement.

Personally, just dropping one of these into a 5e monster stat block completely erases my worries about them being too "vanilla".

These look excellent, thanks for doing it.

I think there is a lot to be said for even pinching randomised surprise effects, like if you roll 16+, this happens, or if you roll an even, that happens. Very easily thrown on top of a what otherwise might be a kind of boring 5e monster, and due to the randomised nature, even the DM will be surprised.

You're welcome. And I agree, randomizing a few effects is a great idea. I sure wish that had been a core rule!

Eventually I'll write up a few stat blocks and incorporate some of those.
