About the D&D 5e Monster Creator

This monster maker walks you through building a complete, balanced D&D 5e creature in seven steps: identity and type, ability scores, defenses, actions and traits, spellcasting, lore, and a finished stat block you can use at the table. As you work, the built-in CR balance check compares your monster's offense and defense against the target Challenge Rating and flags anything that would make the fight a pushover or a massacre.
