Note: The Challenge Ratings underneath 1 (so 0, 1/8, ¼, and ½) I changed. To find this pattern I took the monsters of all these challenge ratings and recorded their stats and found their averages, removing only monsters that seemed to have weirdly out of line statistics for their challenge rating (such as most spellcasters) then put together a table that fit those numbers. Could you imagine a party of level 1 characters trying to fight four enemies with 49 HP? One would be tricky enough.) Anything made by that guide will have way more HP than anything actually in the monster manual. A table for the average AC, HP, To Hit bonuses, and damage dealt by the different challenge ratings of monsters.īecause the one in the DM’s guide doesn’t work. So here’s something I threw together on wanting a series of guidelines to follow when I created new monsters.
