Yea. The xml export is pretty slick.

But..... you can only export custom monsters. I can't export a standard one. Can anyone else?

It's pretty easy. Duplicate & Edit, change the name, save, then export.

Yea. That's what I have been doing the past 1/2 hr or so. Oh well. No big deal, except you have a double entry in your Monster Builder app.

This is great news.

I use a couple of PCs so I'm glad I can share the data around.

Anyone got any cool monsters they've made uploaded anywhere? Or anyone made any sets? Something like "monsters of H2 Thunderspire mountain" etc. would be really useful.

Oooh...i want those when you're done! I've used the Monster Builder mostly to edit existing monsters to 25% less hit points and extra damage equal to half level. It really is an amazing utility program.

And it takes a click and delete to remove the green entry you just renamed. So overall, not much of a hassle.
