Help finding easy monster stats?

[RangerWickett]

Where are those neato-keen generators that print out statblocks for monsters? Hopefully there are some free ones online, but if not, would some of you with E-Tools be willing to help me out? I've got about 50 monsters I need statblocks for. I'll put your name in the credits of an upcoming Nat20 book.

I have an RTF with monster stat blocks. I didn't make it, though -- I'll try to track down the source if you need a name or URL.

I believe you can make monster stat blocks from both PCGen and RolePlayingMaster. I'm sure there are other programs, as well.

Where can I find these? If I wanted stats for a small monstrous spider, could I get it?

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)

Now your after the polish girl too. Geez why don't you just pick up the phone book and ask them out in alphabetical order. At least that way you would have a system.

Y'know, Michael, I do see you, like, every other day. Kinda random of you to just bring up my personal life in the middle of a thread about monster stats. So now I must wonder about D&D stats for various women I've chased after in the past. Of course, the most obvious starting place, namely the Breasts of Intimidation +4, is unlikely to lead this thread in a good direction, so I'll just keep the stories to myself.

My Monster 3.1 program is fully d20 compliant and allows you to select multiple monsters and output them to an HTML file in statblock format. Its doesn't show up in my pasted example but the important categories in the statblock are bold for easy identification.

That threw me for a loop, I must say, until I read his sig...

Now that's a "Current Project" that I'm sure would find general acclaim!
