Looking for a searchable database


Advice


I'm trying to find a site or something that will let me do searches like this:

Monstrous Humanoids with pounce
Monstrous humanoids, with all their natural attacks showing
Monstrous humanoids with flight
etc

I haven't had much luck other than manually searching each monster, and that's a pain.


It's not the most fun thing to do, but you can download the d20PFSRD bestiary database and then filter the appropriate columns. If you're using Google's spreadsheet software, you need to make sure all the columns you want to filter are adjacent. Then, you could have the spreadsheet filtered to only show Monstrous Humanoids with the word "fly" in their movement column.

AoNPRD.com can be searched, though you will end up with a few false positives where the words show up in the description rather than the stat block:

For example, Monstrous Humanoids w/"Pounce" in their entry is https://www.aonprd.com/Search.aspx?Query=%22monstrous%20humanoid%22%20pounc e&Filter=000000010000000000&AllTerms=True&OneLine=True&Excl udeAPModule=False&PFSLegalOnly=False
Monstrous Humaniods w/"fly" in their entry would be https://www.aonprd.com/Search.aspx?Query=%22monstrous%20humanoid%22%20fly&a mp;Filter=000000010000000000&AllTerms=True&OneLine=True&Exclude APModule=False&PFSLegalOnly=False


the d20PFSRD monster spreadsheet (from a Paizo Community project) lists many things with 57 columns of text based data. Movements have columns. Sadly DPR will have to be added as the attacks are just a line of text. LibreOffice might be more helpful.


I find D20PFSRD far superior to Archives of Nethys in searches despite AoN being 'official'. AoN just takes so long to load and search. PFSRD search is a breeze in comparison.

I have a spreadsheet containing all monsters, filterable for the likes of creature type, size, movement types, pounce, and number of and even type of natural attacks. It's in my profile, or just click here. Download or make a copy (both options are in the "file" menu), and filter at you heart's content!


I think Combat Manager will let you do it.
