Searching Monsters
Use the filter controls to narrow the monster list by name, type, HD range, terrain, special abilities, or Person status. All filters combine — results update as you type or change selections.
View opens the monster in the Monster Detail tab. Disable greys out a monster so it is excluded from future Encounter tools — disabled monsters remain visible in search results.
Monster Detail
Displays all fields for the selected monster. Calculated fields (hp, THAC0, Saving Throws, XP) are shown read-only and update automatically when HD or Save As changes. Use the stat block panel to export or copy the full stat block in text, HTML, or BBCode format.
Monster Source Files
Monster data is stored in CSV files under tables/monsters/. Each file is one ruleset or setting. Select which sources are active on the Source Data tab — all checked sources are merged into the monster pool.
Source files ship with the SCK and are cached offline after your first visit. To add a new source, place a correctly formatted CSV in tables/monsters/ and add an entry to MD_SOURCES in monster-database.js.
Saving Changes
Monster edits and new monsters are stored in your browser's localStorage — nothing is sent to any server. Use Export CSV on the Monster Detail tab to download a copy of the full monster pool, which you can use to replace a source file.
Editing a Monster
Open any monster via the View action in search results or the Monster Detail dropdown. Edit any field except the calculated ones (hp, THAC0, Saving Throws, XP). Click Update Monster to save your changes — edits are stored in your browser and survive page reloads.
Adding a New Monster
Open any monster, make your changes, give it a new name, then click Add as New Monster. The new monster appears in search results immediately.
Reset to Source
Reverts a monster to its original source CSV data for this session. If you have an uploaded CSV active that contains this monster, Reset to Source is session-only — the uploaded version will win again on next page reload. To make the revert permanent, also click Remove from Uploaded CSV.
Saving Changes Between Sessions
Go to the Source Data tab and click Export Changes CSV to download all your edits and new monsters as a single CSV file. Save it locally. On your next session (or a new device), upload it via Upload CSV to restore your changes. Only one uploaded CSV is active at a time — uploading replaces the previous file.
