New free programs to help make and advance monsters!

[Asmor]

Heya, I just got back from a weekend trip to Arizona, and during that trip I was so bored that I started working on some old projects, and here's the fruits. I've made two programs, one for figuring out the BAB and saves and etc of a newly created monster, and one for advancing an already created one. Neither will do all the work, but they do all the tedious stuff, leaving you with just the fun stuff.

Oh, in honor of this, I've also made a new page on my webpage, which links to my previously created D&D software as well.

http://asmor.homeip.net/dnd.php

Oh, best of all, all my programs can be downloaded for your offline use or used online, and they're all made entirely in javascript meaning you won't need any software or installations besides your favorite Javascript-enabled browser, such as the near-godlike Mozilla or the undeservingly-popular Microsoft Intenert Explorer which, chances are, you're using right now.

Oh, while you're there, make sure to check out the rest of the best site ever!

Finally, comments, criticisms, bug reports et. al. are all greatly appreciated.

Very nice.

Now with my Monster program and RPM and this you can easily get a stat block of most anything in the MM.

I just noticed that it does not include the change in damage when the size increases (MM p.14 top).

Also, CR adjustment calculation would be nice.

Yeah. I thought about doing the damage dice calculation, but I just figured I'd put in a flowchart, because I'm a lazy bastard and didn't feel like coding it. Somehow, I forgot the flowchart. I'll get that done soon, but not now... Mage Knight tournement later today, and not gonna be around at all tomorrow.

As for the CR adjustment, there is none. CR remains the same, XP gained is multiplied by the same factor as hit dice, so if you double hit dice, you double exp. I'll add a reminder about that to the advancer now.

Oh, can I ask you guys one question? Am I missing something or is there a typo in the monster manual (at least, the first printing) about the example otyugh gaining 4 natural armor instead of 3?
