Stat Block Generator
Additional Help
Version 2.00 of the stat block generator introduced some major changes:
- Clean look: The height, weight, and spell inputs are gone, and the remaining inputs have been shuffled around. The spell input caused problems for those with multiple casting classes since there isn't room for more than one class; the generator still lists the "spells" as a special attack and (where supported) calculates spell progression.
- Unarmed strikes: Unarmed strikes are now more flexible; multiclassed monks (usually) have US attacks listed with both BAB and UBAB. Flurry of blows is also added for monks.
- More auto-checks: Continuing the trend toward checking as you type, skills and feats are formatted right after you type them in (similar to races, classes, and alignment).
- Cleaner code: Much of the code has been updated and modernized; this will make future updates easier.
Supported formats:
- d20 standard: A community standard stat block format.
- Core rules: The standard stat block format is explained on page 129 of the DMG. It is a very space-saving format with little whitespace.
- Chronicle: The format for submissions to Wizards publications; information on this format can be found on the Dungeon magazine submission guidelines. It breaks apart the various special abilities, often making for an easier read.
- Guild: The official format of the RPGA, found (in a zip file) on the RPGA Adventure Writing Guidelines.

Defaults: All entries are optional. The default is a male human War1. Stats default to the average 10 or 11, adjusted by race. Hit points default to the average (non-elite) amount, based on class and Constitution.
Program limitations: This program makes a few basic assumptions: a character is equipped only with weapons he/she is proficient with, nonevil clerics use positive energy rather than negative energy, and all equipment listed is used.
Known bugs: When a weapon's name includes another ('zakhar blowgun' includes 'blowgun'), both weapons are shown. Two-handed weapons do not deal 1.5 * Str bonus. Two of the RPGA prestige class abbreviations are unsupported (use Dungeon abbreviations).
