This...I like this. Danke, Mordi.
Wowie wow wow wow! Something I didn't even know I needed, I must now have. At work, so I'm dotting for later. I'll let you know what my players think of these custom creatures ("That's not in the beastiaries!")
I'm really curious what people are actually making with the program... if anyone would care to post examples of things they've done I'd be interested =P
I can't wait to use this! Is it workable on an Android phone?
@137ben: the options like ignore AP cap and ignore PP cap were moved to the 'Options' menu up next to the file menu. It was to try and clean up the interface.
The other print options were moved up there as well (basically anything with a checkbox).
@Adam Daigle: Yeah it's pretty hilarious what the random generation makes sometimes... The random descriptions were particularly fun for me to do haha.
@DarthPinkHippo: I haven't tested this on any mobile devices, so most likely not.
Seems like most people are having fun with the random monster button, which is good. =) The program is also good for finding balanced stats for monsters you have ideas for.
To show how close it normally is to the actual balancing of PF monsters from their bestiary, I recreated a Belblith from the Monster Manual. It was quite close, I marked all the differences with brackets.
Beblith CR 10
XP 9600
CE Huge Outsider (Chaotic, Evil, Extraplanar)
Init +5; Senses Scent, Darkvision 60ft; Perception +17

bump for visibility~ I like the feedback so far =)
Well I'm impressed with how similar/close that is to the actual "official" creature which makes me even happier to use it!
Thanks Ocean =P
@Mike J - I'll add the weapon finesse thing to the list. Scaling HD manually might be nice if you were just going for monster stats... hm. That'd need to be a whole other feature though. I could add it in, but I'd have to figure out a good way to do it.

Hello everyone~ Just wanted to let a new crowd of people see the program. It's still a great, free way to save time making enemies! I clicked random a few times and then fiddled with what it gave me to make this guy:

Thank you =)
neat
@Gwenton: That's probably the saddest monster I've heard of from the random generator for months. They tend to be pretty wacky and weak but it's like a whole other level!

CN Medium Magical Beast
Init +1; Senses Low-Light Vision, Darkvision 60ft; Perception +0

AC 15, touch 11, flat-footed 14 (+1 Dex, +4 natural)
hp 38 (5d10+10)
Fort +6, Ref +5, Will +1

Base Atk +5; CMB +6 (+10 grapple); CMD 19 (23 vs. grapple)
Feats Agile Maneuvers, Improved Grapple, Intimidating Prowess
Skills: Climb +11
Languages Common
SQ Magical Beast Traits
------------------------------
SPECIAL ABILITIES
------------------------------
Grab (Ex)
If a Mankey hits with its slam attack(s), it deals normal damage and attempts to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. Grab can only be used against targets of a size Medium or smaller.
The Mankey has the option to conduct the grapple normally, or simply to use the part of its body it used in the grab to hold the opponent. If it chooses to do the latter, it takes a –20 penalty on its CMB check to make and maintain the grapple, but does not gain the grappled condition itself.
A successful hold does not deal any extra damage unless the creature also has the constrict special attack. If the creature does not constrict, each successful grapple check it makes during successive rounds automatically deals the damage indicated for the attack that established the hold. Otherwise, it deals constriction damage as well (the amount is given in the creature’s descriptive text).
Creatures with grab receive a +4 bonus on combat maneuver checks made to start and maintain a grapple.
Rage (Ex)
A Mankey can call upon inner reserves of strength and ferocity, granting it additional combat prowess. A Mankey can rage for 14 rounds per day. A Mankey can enter rage as a free action.
While in rage, a Mankey gains a +4 morale bonus to her Strength and Constitution, as well as a +2 morale bonus on Will saves. In addition, it takes a –2 penalty to Armor Class. The increase to Constitution grants the Mankey 2 hit points per Hit Dice, but these disappear when the rage ends and are not lost first like temporary hit points. While in rage, a Mankey cannot use any Charisma-, Dexterity-, or Intelligence-based skills (except Acrobatics, Fly, Intimidate, and Ride) or any ability that requires patience or concentration.
A Mankey can end it's rage as a free action and is fatigued after rage for a number of rounds equal to 2 times the number of rounds spent in the rage. A Mankey cannot enter a new rage while fatigued or exhausted but can otherwise enter rage multiple times during a single encounter or combat. If a Mankey falls unconscious, it's rage immediately ends, placing it in peril of death.
Magical Beast Traits
Magical Beasts are similar to animals but can have Intelligence scores higher than 2 (in which case the creature knows at least one language, but can’t necessarily speak). Magical Beasts usually have supernatural or extraordinary abilities, but are sometimes merely bizarre in appearance or habits.
-Darkvision 60 feet.
-Low-light vision.
-Magical beasts breathe, eat, and sleep.

ECOLOGY
------------------------------
Environment: Plains, Temperate Forests
Organization: Individual or Barrel (1-6)
Treasure: None
This part monkey part pig is enraged at your presence.

So one of the main reasons I developed Monster Generator was for my own use back when I was a DM. I needed to make a boatload of monsters for a Castlevania-themed campaign at varying CRs that they weren't in the books.
For example, it made sense to have a mimic in the later parts of the dungeon but the one in the SRD is pitifully weak for level 15 characters. Enter the Castlevania Mimic:
Castlevania Mimic CR 15
XP 51200
*A Medium Aberration
Init +8; Senses Darkvision 60ft; Perception +29
------------------------------
DEFENSE
------------------------------
AC 31, touch 15, flat-footed 26 (+4 Dex, +1 dodge, +16 natural)
hp 225 (18d8+144)
Fort +15, Ref +10, Will +18
DR 10/- Immunities Sleep, Acid Resist Cold 10, Electricity 10, Fire 10
------------------------------
OFFENSE
------------------------------
Speed 20 ft.
Melee 6 slams +24 (1d6+10 plus Paralysis) , 4 tentacles +21 (1d6+10)
Space 5 ft.; Reach 10 ft.
Spell-Like Abilities (CL 18; concentration +23)
The save DC against a Castlevania Mimic's spells is 15+ spell level. A Castlevania Mimic's spells use Wisdom as the primary casting attribute.
At Will: Alter Self
3/day: Detect Life
1/day: Beast Shape IV
Special Attacks Grab (slam), Constrict (1d6+10), Paralysis (2d6 rounds, DC 21), Adhesive (DC 29)
------------------------------
STATISTICS
------------------------------
Str 30, Dex 18, Con 24, Int 14, Wis 20, Cha 14
Base Atk +13; CMB +23 (+27 grapple); CMD 37
Feats Dodge, Great Fortitude, Improved Grapple, Improved Initiative, Iron Will, Multiattack, Skill Focus (Perception), Toughness, Weapon Focus (slam)
Skills: Bluff +23, Disguise +20, Intimidate +23, Knowledge (religion) +20, Perception +26, Stealth +25
Languages Common
SQ Aberration Traits, Amorphous Anatomy
------------------------------
SPECIAL ABILITIES
------------------------------
Adhesive (Ex)
A mimic exudes a thick slime that acts as a powerful adhesive, holding fast any creatures or items that touch it. An adhesive-covered mimic automatically grapples any creature it hits with its slam attack. Opponents so grappled cannot get free while the mimic is alive without removing the adhesive first. A weapon that strikes an adhesive-coated mimic is stuck fast unless the wielder succeeds on a DC 29 Reflex save. A successful DC 29 Strength check is needed to pry off a stuck weapon. Strong alcohol or universal solvent dissolves the adhesive, but the mimic can still grapple normally. A mimic can dissolve its adhesive at will, and the substance breaks down 5 rounds after the creature dies. The save DC is Strength-based.
Grab (Ex)
If a Castlevania Mimic hits with its slam attack(s), it deals normal damage and attempts to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. Grab can only be used against targets of a size Medium or smaller.
The Castlevania Mimic has the option to conduct the grapple normally, or simply to use the part of its body it used in the grab to hold the opponent. If it chooses to do the latter, it takes a –20 penalty on its CMB check to make and maintain the grapple, but does not gain the grappled condition itself.
A successful hold does not deal any extra damage unless the creature also has the constrict special attack. If the creature does not constrict, each successful grapple check it makes during successive rounds automatically deals the damage indicated for the attack that established the hold. Otherwise, it deals constriction damage as well (the amount is given in the creature’s descriptive text).
Creatures with grab receive a +4 bonus on combat maneuver checks made to start and maintain a grapple.
Constrict (Ex)
Castlevania Mimic can crush an opponent, dealing 1d6+10 bludgeoning damage, when it makes a successful grapple check (in addition to any other effects caused by a successful check, including additional damage).
Paralyze (Su)
When a Castlevania Mimic hits a target with its slam attack(s), the victim is rendered immobile for 2d6 rounds. The target is allowed a DC 21 fortitude save to negate the paralysis effect. Paralyzed creatures cannot move, speak, or take any physical actions. The creature is rooted to the spot, frozen and helpless. The save DC is charisma-based.
Change Shape (Su)
A Castlevania Mimic has the ability to assume the appearance of a specific creature or type of creature (usually a humanoid), but retains most of its own physical qualities. The creature cannot change shape to a form more than one size category smaller or larger than its original form. This ability functions as up to a level 6 polymorph spell (the type of which matches the form it can change into), but the creature does not adjust its ability scores (although it gains any other abilities of the creature it mimics). Unless otherwise stated, it can remain in an alternate form indefinitely.
Amorphous Anatomy (Ex)
A Castlevania Mimic's vital organs shift and change shape and position constantly. This grants it a 50% chance to ignore additional damage caused by critical hits and sneak attacks, and grants it immunity to polymorph effects (unless the Castlevania Mimic is a willing target). A Castlevania Mimic automatically recovers from physical blindness or deafness after 1 round by growing new sensory organs to replace those that were compromised.
Bump for visibility! Last I checked, this is still the only program that does what it does. I have updated in a while but it's a pretty stable version now.
