Help finding easy monster stats?

Re: Re: Help finding easy monster stats?

My Monster 3.1 program is fully d20 compliant .....(snip)

Looks good smetzger! My only compliant: Errors and typos in the monster database. For example: no HD or hp for beetles; blindsight given to black bears; ghouls with the "stench" SA, etc.

Excellent format, though!

Now that I'm actively looking around...

MonsterDB may be the easiest and quickest way to get your information. You install the program, find your monster, and click the stat block tab and whammo, you're done. You can even pick what you want listed in the stat block.

Here's your small monstrous spider from this program:

Monstrous Spider: CR 0.5; Small Vermin ; HD 1d8 ; hp 4 ; Init +3 ; Spd 30ft; AC 14; ATK Bite +4 melee ; DAM Bite 1d4-2 and poison ; SA Poison, web ; SQ Vermin ; SV - Fort 2 , Ref 3 , Wil 0 ; Str 7 , Dex 17 , Con 10 , Int - , Wis 10 , Cha 2
Skills/Feats:
Climb +10, Hide +14, Jump -2**, Spot +7**
Weapon Finesse (bite)
Notes:
Poison (Ex): A monstrous scorpion that sucessfully bites another creature causes Bite damage 1d4-2 and poison, Fortitude save (DC 11); initial and secondary damage 1d3 temporary Strength.
Web (Ex): Monstrous spiders often wait in their webs or trees, then slowly lower themselves silently on silk strands and leap onto their prey passing beneath. A single strand is strong enough to support the spider and one creature of the same size.


Here's info on the other programs I mentioned:

PCGen is a character generator program. I will warn you that it has a learning curve and you will probably spend a good amount of time learning the interface. Plus, it requires you to install Java to use it. However, it has all the SRD monsters in it and you can export them in stat block format:

RolePlayingMaster is a campaign manager, really, for DMs. I believe it can also do what you want, but you'll have to check it out.

(this probably belongs to the software forums)

I installed Monster DB, and it had an error when I tried to run it. What should I do?

Did you install the additional files on the download web page? Since you didn't give the error that you received, it's hard to tell what's wrong.
