Hi, ' I was wondering if there's was any way you could include more templates (all of them) or there is a way i could include more templates other wise its the perfect program for what i need please help me out i really need this program and the rest of the templates I can certainly add more templates. Are there certain ones you are particularly missing(this just helps with knowing what to do next)? I am working on having a way to let users submit creatures but I can certainly add templates to the list of things that users can submit. I am getting close to having the new interface done and after that I am focusing on creating interfaces for user submissions. Hopefully, that will increase the speed that new content makes it into the Monster Advancer™. I am glad it is helping you out and making more players fear the unknown once again. |

I would love to have templates and the monsters from the Monsters manual 2. I especially love the tauric template. Also I noticed that when I selected to make a monster a half-dragon I couldn't pick up ability focus as a feat for it.

Oh and also I noticed the CR for a stone giant was 0. Other than that I love this program especially since I'm about to put my party though an arena full of odd and different monsters.

Unfortunately, the tauric template is non-OGL content. However, the Tome of Horrors I, Tome of Horrors II, and Tome of Horrors III have some great templates that I plan on getting added. (The Creature Collection I, Creature Collection II, and Creature Collection III are equally blessed with great OGL content so there will be no shortage of awesome templates)
I believe one of those even has something quite similar to the tauric template so fear not.
I will fix the stone giant next chance I get.

The Epic Level templates are missing: Paragon, Demilich, Worm that Walks, and Psuedeonatural. Half-Celestial is missing, and so is Lycanthrope.
Edit: While I'm at it, any chance of adding epic monsters and possibly the potential for Divine Ranks?

Edit: While I'm at it, any chance of adding epic monsters and possibly the potential for Divine Ranks? I have a large number (80-90%) of the epic creatures already in the database. I do not have them turned on currently. I was stalling while I considered how I would provide a "nice" way to filter the creature lists so that you can easily include or exlude things like epic creatures and psionics. I will get this taken care of. When I do this I will add the epic templates as well. The fact that lycanthrope is missing is not particularly an oversight as much as a technical challenge. Since the lycanthrope has 3 forms (animal, hybrid and standard) I had wanted to come up with a nice way of handling this. For now, I will most likely just enter each as its own template so I can get the content out there. (I think when you generate any of the above I might set something up so it creates 3 links...one for the current and one for each of the other forms so that you can easily toggle your creature between forms) |

Well, in the core rulebooks, the highest CR is a Solar at 21, maybe it could just filter out everything with a CR >21. As for psionic monsters, you could just flag them as being psionic and have it filter that out with a click. Simplest way I can think of.

As I want to start getting more material from other 3rd party sources I will work out a nice UI way to allow simple filtering of all my creature lists. I will let you know when this is done along with the addition of the Epic creatures/templates.

Hopefully, that will increase the speed that new content makes it into the Monster Advancer™. I am glad it is helping you out and making more players fear the unknown once again. I personally would like to see things like "Half-Giant", but once selected be able to specify type (i.e. Frost, Fire, Storm) to determine which changes take place. You could then add only the "type" specific changes as you make them available, rather than reentering every (including duplicated/repeated) single change as I imagine happened with the "Half-Dragon" templates. Furthermore, such fine tuning would also prevent the variations from looking "too much" like the same thing with only a weapon/damage type changing. Afterall some racial changes could boost a "half-X(y)" considerably more than others loosely related by the base "type X". |
