Custom Monster Creator designed for the 5th edition of Dungeons and Dragons
A downloadable Supplement
I designed this document because I was feeling burnt out by all the convoluted rules 5e uses for its monsters, how unbalanced they feel, how hard it is to balance a combat encounter, and how hard it is to create unique monsters.
Here, the design process starts with the monster's Challenge Rating. Every ability, stat, and feature a monster gets are entirely derived from the monster's CR.
I've included examples to show a broad range of monsters, starting with basic goblins and ogres, to more custom monsters, to a full blown Big Bad Evil Boss!

I wonder if the 5e monster make supplement is under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 just like the 5.1 SRD? I'm just curious, that's all
So, the only thing that ties this to D&D5e is the fact that I said this was made to be used with that game. The supplement doesn't actually reproduce anything directly from the monster manual, so there's no worry there!
Do I need to ask permission in order to use it under under a Libre Creative Commons license which allows commercial usage alongside sharing and remixing as well as the ORC License, which is the new spiritual successor to the OG OGL 1.0a, which also allows the same stuff too I mentioned. I'd so live to mix this supplement with my own remix of the Black Flag RPG SRD from Kobold Press, which is under the ORC License.
I would put this under CC-BY-4, so you don't need to ask permission (but I certainly appreciate it!), just credit me somewhere for it (there's guidelines with that link if you want to get really official with it).
However, if you are wanting to use it to build your own monsters to put in your work, then it's not really my work at that point.
Okay, thank you! You rock and I'm looking forward to see you make this updates
