Stop creating 5E monsters the slow way

5E Monster Builder is a fast, intuitive stat block creator built for Dungeon Masters who homebrew. Whether you're designing a one-shot boss, populating a dungeon, or building a full bestiary for publication, Monster Builder handles the math and the formatting — so you can focus on making something memorable.

Open the app. Build your creature. Copy or save your stat block. That's it.

Monster output is 100% compliant with the 2024 version of the rules.

What You Get

A complete, self-contained web application (HTML file) that runs in any modern browser. No installation. No accounts. No internet connection required after download. Just open the file and start building.

Complete Stat Block Coverage

Every field in an official 5E stat block is accounted for:

• Name, Size, Creature Type, Subtype, and Alignment
• Armor Class with armor type descriptors
• Hit Points with configurable hit dice and auto-calculated averages
• Speed — walk, fly, swim, climb, burrow, and hover
• All six Ability Scores with auto-calculated modifiers
• Saving Throw proficiencies
• Skills — organized and condensed by governing ability for fast scanning
• Damage Resistances, Vulnerabilities, and Immunities (including conditional text like “from nonmagical attacks”)
• Condition Immunities
• Senses with auto-calculated Passive Perception
• Languages
• Challenge Rating with auto-populated XP and Proficiency Bonus

The Math Does Itself

Every derived value updates automatically as you build:

• Ability score modifiers calculated instantly
• Average HP derived from hit dice count, die size, and CON modifier
• XP and Proficiency Bonus auto-populated when you select a Challenge Rating
• Skill bonuses computed from ability modifier + proficiency (with expertise support)
• Passive Perception always current
• Saving throw DCs suggested from 8 + PB + ability modifier

No more flipping between tables. No more second-guessing your arithmetic.

Built-In Tools for Actions & Saves

Attack Builder
Create properly formatted attack entries without memorizing the syntax. Select the attack type, set your damage dice, and the builder generates text that matches official conventions:

Melee Weapon Attack Roll: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit:11 (2d6 + 4) Slashing damage.

Insert the result directly into your stat block with one click.

Saving Throw Builder
A draggable popup helps you compose correctly formatted saving throw text. Set the DC, pick the ability, describe the effects on a failed and successful save, and copy the result:

Dexterity Saving Throw: DC 15. Failure: the target takes 28 (8d6) fire damage. Success: half damage.

Paste it into any trait or action. No more inconsistent save formatting across your stat blocks.

Save, Load, and Export

• Save your creatures under custom file names
• Load and continue editing any saved monster
• Fully editable output — tweak the final stat block text directly
• Copy to clipboard or save to multiple formats
• All saves appear in your Downloads folder

Your workflow. Your file names. Your monsters.

Who This Is For

• Homebrew DMs who build custom creatures for their campaigns
• Content creators publishing on DMs Guild, DriveThruRPG, or personal blogs
• New DMs who want to learn the stat block structure with guided fields and auto-calculations
• Anyone tired of doing ability modifier math at 11 PM the night before a session

Requirements

• Any modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge)
• No internet connection required after download
• No installation, no account, no subscription

The City by the Sea

The great seaside metropolis of Zamorcia is full of secrets, buried beneath the ancient streets in the sunken buildings of ages past. But something is stirring in the halls of a long-abandoned basilica, bringing with it the cold mists of the sea. And not every secret stays buried.

The Horrors Beneath Zamorcia is a small dungeon for Flail!, with new monsters, weird magic, and a hint of an ongoing eldritch threat that might warrant further investigation….

The Horrors Beneath Zamorcia is an independent production by Dan Layman-Kennedy / 2nd Level Bard Productions and is not affiliated with Games Omnivorous. It is published under the Games Omnivorous Third Party Licence. FLAIL is copyright of Games Omnivorous.

Page Turners scales its dynamic down to the intimate scale of a single main character whose fiction you weave on the fly with one other creator.

Shockingly simple rules keep the focus on emotional interaction.

Extensive guidance helps you shape satisfying outcomes.

Writers Sarah Saltiel, Wade Rockett and Ruth Tillman join Robin in presenting 11 scenarios spanning a wealth of genres and tones:

• Way Station: The arrival of a telepath on her space station abruptly shifts a hard-won sense of balance for resourceful mechanic Adi.
• Without You: A vampire and his mortal love reckon with secrets, sickness, and immortality.

ATTENTION 2D PAPER GAMING DICE PDF A4 EUROPEAN

ATTENZIONE DADI DA GIOCO 2D PD A4 EUROPEO

Before Italian Lenguage. After Englis UK

Vi presento i dadi bidimensionali realizzati da LDStudio per Qwein giochi.
Si tratta di un esagono diviso in 6 spicchi. Alla base di ogni spiccio, quindi sul perimetro esterno, è presente un numero da 1 a 6.
Il dado è progettato per essere accostato al suo gemello su un solo lato, in modo che, piegando lungo la linea di giunzione, si ottenga un dado — o meglio, un esagono numerato da 1 a 6 su ciascuna faccia.

Il mio consiglio è di incollare le due metà con colla stick, inserendo tra di esse un’anima di semplice cartoncino (tipo quello delle scatole di farmaci).
Si ottiene così una sorta di moneta esagonale a due facce, entrambe numerate da 1 a 6.

Facendo cadere la moneta da circa 20 cm sul tavolo (meglio evitare di lanciarla, perché potrebbe rotolare), si troverà rivolto verso il giocatore che l’ha lasciata cadere un lato con un numero ben visibile. Quello sarà il valore ottenuto dal Master o dal Giocatore.
Nel caso in cui invece si fermi mostrando una punta dell’esagono, e non sia chiaro quale lato sia predominante, si ritira semplicemente il dado.

Perché creare una cosa così banale?

Semplice: in tutti i mini zine di Qwein (stampabili su un solo foglio, fronte-retro, piegati seguendo le istruzioni del manuale) si ottiene un mini libretto A7 a colori di 8 pagine, con diverse ambientazioni e giochi.
Per fissare le pagine basta un po’ di colla stick. Ma se osservate bene, la seconda e la quarta pagina formano una sorta di tasca, perché il lato esterno non è tagliato.
Basterà quindi dare un filo di colla solo alla base, sotto il libretto, ottenendo due cose:

• Pagina 2: uno spazio per 1 o 2 dadi bidimensionali.

• Pagina 4 (con ritaglio a piacere): foglietti di carta (suggerisco sottile e a quadretti), da 6 a 8 fogli per creare personaggi e prendere appunti.

Qui trovate il dado.

Greetings, fellow tabletop tinkerers!

Behold the 2D dice crafted by LDStudio for Qwein Games.
What you're looking at is a hexagon, split into 6 slices. On the outer edge of each slice, you'll find a number from 1 to 6.
This dice is designed to mate with its twin along one specific side – fold along that junction, and boom: you get a dice. Or rather, a hexagon with numbers 1 to 6 on both faces.

My pro-tip? Glue ’em together with a glue stick, but sandwich a core made of simple cardboard (like the stuff from pillbox packaging) in between.
The result? A hexagon-shaped two-sided coin, numbered 1–6 on both sides.

Now, here’s the dice-rolling protocol, nerd-approved:
Drop the hex-coin from about 20cm onto the table (don't throw it – it might roll like a runaway die). The number facing the player who dropped it? That’s your roll. Master or player – same rule.
If it lands on a point and the dominant side isn’t clear? Simple: re-roll.

“Why even make such a trivial thing?”

Excellent question, hypothetical pedant. Because in every Qwein mini-zine – printable on a single double-sided page, folded per the manual’s instructions – you get a full-colour A7 booklet (8 pages), packed with settings and games.
A dab of glue stick keeps the pages together. But here’s the hack: pages 2 and 4 form a sort of pocket (the outer edge remains uncut).
So you just run a thin line of glue along the bottom edge of the booklet, and you get two things:

• Page 2: a neat slot for 1 or 2 of these 2D dice.

• Page 4 (cutout optional): 6–8 sheets of thin paper (gridded paper recommended) for character sheets and scribbled notes.

And there – right there – you’ll find the dice.

Wizards who borrow from themselves in the future to cast spells right now? The Traving Mage brings you a Wizard school that has a price to pay for extra casting. Most Wizards have a debt to pay to someone, but at this school you have debt to your future self.

Check out this subclass today or... tomorrow... your past self has already seen it or your future self has.... I'm confused....

“They'll tell you there's something in the well.
They're not lying.”
____________________________________________________________________________

No one knows exactly how it happened. Some whisper of a botched alchemical experiment, others blame it on a miscast spell, a few speak of something falling from the stars. Whatever the truth, it gave birth to the Mutant Mutton – a grotesque, always-hungry beast.

Panicked, the townsfolk of Shearford trapped it in the abandoned temple beneath the old well, a place long forgotten except as a spot for childhood dares. But the Mutton refused to die. It grew, and grew, and grew, and eventually began to demand sacrifices. Over time, fear twisted into reverence, and a strange sheep cult formed around the beast.

Now, when outsiders pass through, the villagers make sure they don’t miss the old well.

Cult of the Mutant Mutton is the sixth official module for FLAIL roleplaying game. Beneath the calm village of Shearford lurks the Mutant Mutton, a grotesque sheep-beast worshipped by a cult that feeds it with unlucky travellers. Will the party uncover the village’s true horrors and slay the beast within the old well, or become the cult’s next sacrifice?

This is a mininalist, grab-and-go module presented in a six-pannel, double-sided postcard.
Includes the adventure, separate map and item cards. Takes about 2 hours to be played.

Fortresses are built with the assumption that threats come from the outside, which makes sense when you’re dealing with conventional warfare, because you can define your perimeter, reinforce it, and rely on the structure to provide a measurable advantage, but that assumption only holds if the system inside the walls is as stable as the one outside, and this one isn’t; the reactivation sequence brought the facility online faster than expected, subsystems initializing in layers that suggest it wasn’t entirely dormant to begin with, which raises questions about what’s been running in the background and for how long. The initial survey teams reported structural integrity within acceptable limits, defensive systems partially functional, and internal layouts that don’t quite match the archived schematics, which is the kind of discrepancy you can explain away once or twice before it becomes a pattern you have to take seriously. We were deployed to secure the installation, restore full operational capability, and determine its strategic value, straightforward objectives if you assume the environment is static, but it isn’t, and the first indication came from the sensor logs, movement within sealed sections that shouldn’t have had any activity at all. That would be concerning under normal conditions, but combined with the inconsistencies in the structure itself, it suggests we’re dealing with something that either survived the deactivation or was created by it. The creatures, if that’s the right term, don’t behave like conventional hostiles, they don’t test the perimeter in predictable ways, they appear where they shouldn’t be able to, withdraw before engagement can be established, and leave behind evidence that doesn’t correspond to known biological or mechanical signatures, which complicates both identification and response. The fort’s systems are adapting, reallocating power, sealing sections, activating protocols that weren’t part of the original brief, and that’s where the situation shifts from external threat to internal variable, because if the system is responding to something it recognizes, then whatever we’re dealing with isn’t new, it’s part of the design, and that means the real question isn’t whether the fortress can hold against the creatures, it’s whether it was ever meant to keep them out in the first place.

In the deeper reaches of the greenwood where the trees grow close enough to swallow sound and the paths shift with season and memory, a new presence has taken root among the undergrowth and hidden glades, for neither the crown’s foresters nor the outlaw bands who haunt the roads have proven able to keep balance within the forest’s bounds, and so from scattered wardens, hunters, and those who have lived too long beneath the boughs to trust either lord or thief there has formed a quiet guild known as the Verdant Ward, rangers who claim no allegiance to throne or rebellion but instead to the forest itself, moving unseen along deer tracks and forgotten trails to disrupt any who would twist the woodland to their own ends, whether it be royal agents felling timber for war and profit or outlaw companies using the trees as cover for cruelty and greed, and their presence is felt more than seen in cut snares, misled patrols, vanished camps, and warning marks carved into bark where only the watchful would notice, yet their growing influence breeds unease among all who rely on the greenwood for power or refuge, for the crown’s men call them traitors to lawful order while many outlaws see them as meddlers who would deny them sanctuary, and as tensions rise the forest becomes a place not merely of hiding but of contest where every path may be watched and every fire observed, and you move within this contested wilderness at a time when the Verdant Ward begins to step from rumour into reality, forcing all who dwell beneath the canopy to reckon with a force that answers not to coin, crown, or cause but to a harsher and older notion of balance that may demand sacrifice from every side.
