Driven into Darkness Live on Kickstarter until November 1st

Use this monster cheat sheet to create a complete set of foes for encounters and dungeons in any game system.

Keep the players as the focus don't worry too much about the core stats of the opponent in your game or during prep, the stats of any given monster in a monster book are largely the same scaling with level, while the thing that truly distinguishes monsters from one another is special abilities they have that surprise the players, not the fact that they had 12 as opposed to 16 health.

Monster Cheat Sheet

This monster cheat sheet uses a simple formula in order to create foe for 5E and OSR games alike. 

Step 01. Establish Opponent type.

The opponent type modifies the strength of the opponents.

Minion: Base mod of 0 to a max of +4. ¼ type adjustment.

Elites: Base mod of +1 to a max of +6. ½ type adjustment.

Mini-boss: Base mod of +2 to a max of +8. X2 type adjustment.

Boss: Base mod of +3 to a max of +10. X3 type adjustment.

Step 02. Establish the Target numbers and modifiers.

The base mod of each opponent is set by their type, this mod increases by +1 per level, up to a set maximum. Level is determined by the average character level, the current dungeon layer(DL) or another appropriate modifier such as weeks traveled from a safe settlement or where the gang sits in the city's criminal hierarchy.

If you want more variability in from each stat you can randomly determine weaknesses (-4 from mod) and focuses (+2 to mod) by rolling once for the opponent’s stat weakness and once for their stat focus: roll a d20

Step 03 Establish health and damage.

Health is the opponent’s level multiplied by 10 that number is then multiplied, halved or quartered by the opponent's type adjustment(Eg. X3 or ¼).

The Damage the opponent deals when it overcomes the players defence is that opponent’s level adjusted by type, that number is then increased by +5 (Eg. level 6 x 2 = 12 then 12+5 = 17 dam).

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
