4e Creature Instructions

If necessary please use the "Watch this page" checkbox before creating the page. Keep in mind "my preferences" → "E-mail me when a page I'm watching is changed". Your username or IP address will be recorded in the new pages history for authorship purposes.

If you are on an edit page of an existing page or seeing an "oops" message that means either that page name is already used or you forgot to add the name of the page.

Fill in the values after the equal signs, and replace the comments or half-comments (the text starting with <!-- or <!- and ending with --> or ->) with your own descriptive text or the required text.

These are the average stats for a 4e monster.

Other Defenses	12	+1 per level
Attack Bonus	+5	+1 per level	-2 vs non-AC defenses
Damage	8	+1 per level	+25-50% for encounter powers +25% for Brutes -25% for multiple targets -50% for Minions
HP	18 for Artillery, Lurkers 20 for Skirmishers, Controllers 22 for Soldiers 24 for Brutes	+6 per level +8 per level +8 per level +10 per level
Perception	Wisdom modifier	+1/2 level	+5 if the monster is trained in Perception
Initiative	Dexterity modifier	+1/2 level	+4 if the monster would have Improved Initiative

When converting average damage, half the value contributes towards average die roll and the other half becomes the damage bonus.

Example: If the average damage is 10, the average die roll contributes 5 points - this could be 2d4 or 1d10.
