Maybe this feature's already in here, and I haven't managed to find it yet, but I think it'd really help me out with my monster-building if I was able to sort attacks by keyword. I'm presently working on a cold-based enemy for my campaign, for instance, and I'd like to be able to look through all the attacks with the Cold keyword, but for the time being, I just have to look through the alphabetical list for powers that start with cold-sounding words. In terms of enemies with a strong elemental theme (Or martial, or psychic or whatever), this would be a tremendous boon.

Click on the arrow beside, "Powers Come From..." text. There will be more filters, including; Monster Keyword which has amongst many Cold.

Oh, cool, thanks! I overlooked that during my cursory glance at the UI, but that makes my life a lot easier. Thanks!

These are monster keywords, not power keywords. Try looking up Acid powers or Psychic powers and you'll see what I mean.

A power keyword filter would be *extremely* handy. If you want to look for a poison breath attack to add to your custom monster, you can scroll through to the existing poison breaths but if, as an example, "A Grave Wind" was a poison attack (which it's not, this is just an example), you wouldn't know unless you inspected it manually.

Thanks for the feedback.

I'll add this suggestion to the list, started by Mr. Trevor Kidd.
