*I am hoping the monster builder will eventually get an update. It looks to be a great tool but is limited so far in that you are not able to create elite or solo monsters. To date I have only created a couple of elite monsters so the Monster builder has not been useful to me. I can see how it can be a great tool, but wanted to throw this out there in hopes it can be even better. If the monster builder had the ability to do solo and elite monsters it would save time and really help organize any monster conversions from regular monsters to solo or elite.
Anyone know if there are plans for this in the future?
Here is to hoping for elite and solo monster support in the future!

*As a second thought, how about also making current monsters from the monster manual up loadable in the monster builder for quick and easy conversions, both for power and level adjustments and (hopefully) for conversion to elite and solo monsters!

Those are my two suggestions, now lets hear your feedback.

Certainly linking it to the monster info of existing monsters would be a great help, because the most frequent "monster building" that most people probably do is tweaking levels or adding templates/making elite.

I'm the guy in charge (roughly) of the Bonus Tools, and you're asking for what everyone else is also asking for, and what I'd like for my own campaign. For now, we're focusing on the Compendium, but I'm working on plans for an improved monster builder, too.
