End result is a PNG image file. Thanks to some very enterprising programmers on the web!Step 1Get Valloric’s Web Component for 5e statblocks:<a href="http://valloric.github.io/statblock5e/" target="_blank">http://valloric.github.io/statblock5e/</a>Step 2Navigate to this handy Challenge Rating Google spreadsheet:<a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VV8ebSREn0fpw8YtNe-5s5YGJYoF3DK1tB0eLyXRobk/edit#gid=0" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VV8ebSREn0fpw8YtNe-5s5YGJYoF3DK1tB0eLyXRobk/edit#gid=0</a> Tip! You may need to make a copy of the spreadsheet in order to edit it.Step 3Input your monster’s information in the spreadsheet, using the DMG pages 273-283 as a guideline.Step 3Copy the HTML statblock (from the spreadsheet) to a plain text editor like TextWrangler or TextEdit, and save it as a HTML file. Note: If you’re using TextEdit on OS X, make sure to go into Preferences and set the format to Plain Text.Step 4Open up the saved HMTL file in your Chrome browser.Step 5Take a screen capture, and either import the captured image directly into your document, OR clean up the edges of the image in Photoshop/GIMP using the magic wand tool first and then import it into your document.Tip! If your stat block is so big that you can't get a good quality screen cap of the whole thing, then divide it into 2 screen caps and merge them in a graphics editor program.Optional Step 6If you want to make an entire page in Photoshop/GIMP resembling the Monster Manual, download the Statblock Page Resources:<a href="https://mega.nz/#!DMcEhRQI!RdV02Wqy4hThUxcxQVg1_pz_OGZARFgibZ38moSc5p8" target="_blank">https://mega.nz/#!DMcEhRQI!RdV02Wqy4hThUxcxQVg1_pz_OGZARFgibZ38moSc5p8</a></blockquote>
