Well, I played with it and I have a reccomendation. Perhaps others will post here with constructive suggestions as well.

Under the "Other" category, how about giving users the option to assign a role (and perhaps elite status), category, type and role to each of the Other Monsters selected? It would add alot of utility to this tool.
so instead of a list that reads:

Other (3rd)...3...150

it might read (depending on inputs)

Drow (3rd) Lurker....3...150

Beinga ble to look up a particular monster by name could be useful. I.e If I am building an encounter with orcs, it would be useful to be able to just type in 'orc' and see a list of allcratures that have 'orc' as part of their name, reagrdless of role, level, keyword, etc.

It would also be great if you could level up (or down) the creatures. I'm not saying it should do all the numbers, just calculate the correct XP.

I was using it to try and scale the "BAR FIGHT!" encounter from Scales of War - Rescue at Rivenroar from the default five PCs to fit my 7 PCs. Got a little tricky since the encounter uses Level 3 Hobgoblin Grunts (as opposed to Level 1 HG - which is standard).

Anyway, just my suggestion.

You can... It's in the category section.

It would be nice if, once the Monster Manual info is in the system, the actual monster stats could be viewed and printed on the final page.

I know that monster information will be added to the compendium so it might be easy to add it to the encounter generator.

I have compiled the suggestions in this thread thus far into an email to the development team on the bonus tools.

Thanks for your feedback.

I need to ask this.
How many people in total, as some clearly state they only have part an element, are actually on the development/implementation team(s)?

This is something someone at the business end of the team may be able to answer for you.

Sorry.

Monsters like the extra Kobolds that you have put up ( which are awesome by the way ) should be included in the list of monsters that you can pick.
Also as was mentioned earlier if you could level up or down a monster with a click that would be very handy... even if there were a limit like up or down 3 or something....
Cheers
Hope you have the VTT up soon... your group needs it :D
