New MB appears to be up!

Finally!
No more Monster Slider!
I kicked it for a couple minutes, looks ok so far. I'll have to dig deeper this evening. Test out the printing, etc.

Can you use it to build monsters?

Vyvyan Basterd · Sep 20, 2011

Yes. From scratch or importing powers from other creatures. Although I seem to have an issue getting it into a format where I can share the Squiggly Brain Eater I created. Took about 10 minutes to whip up from scratch, but I can't copy it into anything and don't feel like printing/scanning since I'm supposed to be working...

Ayup. You can build a monster from scratch, add your own powers or import powers from monsters.

If you view the monster, you can always export it into a .monster file (which is, IIRC simply a .xml file renamed.)

No MME items? Sad. However, new monster builder has allowed me to start updating Dragonlance monsters. Fun fun fun!

I don't agree with some of the math. But it's pretty easy to use. I just made this guy for my Dark Sun game.

The stuff from MME (specifically the artifacts) gave the compendium formatting fits. As a result, they will be getting added into DDI in OCtober.

Also, there is one bug in the MB that will cause it to crash: If you use a non-standard damage die (1d2, 1d3, 1d5, etc) the MB gets uppity and pitches a fit. The DDI devs are aware and are working on it. No word on the time it will take, nor if it will be taken down or if it can be hotpatched in.
