Hello DMs!!!

I am a DM for many groups and found myself having to remake a lot of monsters, usually due to level but also because of roles. I also always make my own BBEGs for my big final battles. After a while using the formulas for a while I thought to myself "why not make an excel file that calculates all these things for me". I have now been improving the my file on-and-off for over a year now and would love to share it with you.

It's a basic .xls file that calculates a ton of stuff, allows you to input your own custom values and even has some important tips on monster-making.
Cosmetically it could be better, and will make it look more "official" in my 2.0 version.... whenever that will be xD

This file is good for:
· Creating monsters ahead of time, such as BBEGs
· Giving you the correct numbers for making up monsters on-the-go. Type in level and role and it gives you all the numbers you need to wing-it like a pro!

My file takes in account:
· Level
· Roles
· Secondary Roles
· Whether the monster is insubstantial or not
· Ability scores (automated and manual generator)
· Specifics of an attack (melee, ranged, multitarget, recharge, encounter etc.)

And based on those things it calculates:
· Hit points
· Defenses
· Attacks vs. AC and NADs
· All the damage values you'll ever need (avarage)
· Passive Perception, Passive Insight, Stealth etc.

Other:
· Has a simple drop-down menus for Primary and Secondary Roles and for selectin Primary, Secondary and Tertiary ability scores for your monsters.
· Easy-to copy format so that you can use the numbers from the excel file and add your BBGEs attacks in a word file.
· Includes comments and guides for monster making.

I just upgraded it and verified that it's numbers are up to date and 100% Wizards official.


AND HERE IT IS:

It is kalled "Skrímslaskapari" which is icelandic for "monstermaker"

Enjoy!

If you make any improvements on the file please share them back to me.

I did have a word file which was basically a glossory with all my data and the guidelines for creating monster from the dungeonmaster's guide, but I seem to have lost it.

Enjoy!

If you make any improvements on the file please share them back to me.
