Here’s the complete set of four Zelda (chosen by poll) monsters from the Shadow Temple. The Legend of Zelda: Shadow Temple Monsters.

Just if all their stats seem closer to another challenge rating then then maybe they deserve to be on that challenge rather than the first one you gave them? Consider it not a requirement for stats, but a series of examples of APPROXIMATELY where a monster should be.) D&D D&D 5e Dungeons and Dragons Monster Manual Dungeon Mastery Wizards of the Coast didn’t seem to care to make monsters weak enough for level 1 parties to fight (after all they suggest right in the book you skip right to 3)Īnyways, feel free to use to your heart’s content when building your own monsters. I made this chart in mind with allowing you to build monsters for low level parties too. They don’t follow the numbers I found in the Monster Manual, mostly because I find those numbers too high for what should be such low challenge ratings. 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.
