Foe Generator for 5e Dungeons & Dragons

OR: see how it works:

Generate groups of foes for your Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition campaign, complete with descriptions, personality characteristics, motivations, and loot.

To each base group, you can add support types such as veterans, scouts, spell-casters, and more. Then add a captain to lead them into battle!

Instructions:

  • You can use exact numbers or input dice (i.e., 1d12, 3d4+2).
  • Autogen creates a group of foes automatically, adding support and a captain.
  • Add Foes creates a base group of foes, to which you can then add particular support and captains manually.
  • You can click on underlined text to reroll the field next to it (loot, names, attacks, etc.).
  • You can click on gray text (i.e., group name and individual foe names) to manually edit it (though re-rolling will overwrite your changes).
  • You can add multiple groups, just make another selection and press auto or manual generate again.
  • You can open a new window with special formatting for printing by clicking print.
  • You can copy out your current list to plain text with the copy button.
  • Any block of foes, support block, or captain can be removed by clicking on the X on the right side (though this can’t be undone!)
  • You can start over by clicking clear in the bottom right.
