Mar 11, 2009 15:45:28 Before anything else, I would like to say that I find both of those applications very useful and I would like to make the following suggestions to make them even better.

I would really like it if the templates were added to the compendium so that we can look at the modifiers they give monsters. Sometimes you would like a monster to be just so but are not sure which template to use. Having them in the compendium would make things easier.

My second request is for the same thing but in the Encounter Builder. It would be very nice if we had the option of adding a template to a monster when we add it to an encounter as this changes things xp-wise.

Keep up the great work!

I like your suggestions though and second them.

Mar 16, 2009 16:48:45 i agree that these are great tools but for the encounter builder, it really needs to print out the stats. i was thinkin that since they have the stats viewable as the stat blocks like in the mm, when you build an encounter it should print out the stat block to, and at a decent size to save paper. you could probably get 3-4 basic style creatures on a page.

I would rather they make this a priority than the other tools actually, or concurrently(though that didn't work out so well before).

It would add a tremendous amount of functionality, and these requests pop up frequently. Who wouldn't like the encounter builder to print full statblocks, and the monster builder to add templates or make elite and solo versions, which could be imported into the Encounter Builder? And I'm guessing it wouldn't take *that* long (no idea really). But if it was going to take significant time away from the other projects, I guess I could wait. I am just not sure how long it would really take?
