[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 8123585, member: 2209"] So your project is to compile all the data from multiple sources into one document so you can have one compiled place to go to for reference? That could be a big project for just one monster let alone trying to be comprehensive. I did something similar but with just d20 stuff back in the 3e days, copying and pasting monster entries and NPC stat blocks from the srd and my PDFs into one word document so I could have monster stat blocks and descriptions in one document for searching. It quickly grew to be huge, the last I added to it according to the file date was in 2013 and it was over 4,500 pages long then and it was not even that many sources (hadn't gotten to the Tomes of Horrors stuff or anything from Pathfinder). Pulling it out here is the list of sources I have listed for myself in the beginning: You might want your document to be segregated by individual monster types so that when you search for information on orcs you could go to the orc entry and not get bogged down by aarakocra entries that reference orcs, then bugbear cross-references to orcs, then goblin references to orcs and so on before hitting the main orc section.
