Creatures can be tagged with a habitat, shown on the statblock and filterable in the library.
Image export
The export dialog has an Image tab that renders a shareable PNG of a statblock.
Collections
Group saved creatures into named collections and export the whole thing as one document.
Discord community
Monsterbrew has a Discord server now, for questions, feedback and sharing creatures.
Preset browser
One Add preset button replaces the separate preset lists, with everything searchable in one place.
Export to Foundry and Improved Initiative
Creatures can leave Monsterbrew as FoundryVTT actors or Improved Initiative statblocks, all behind one Export button.
Choose your base to start from
Opening the editor with nothing loaded now asks where you want to begin instead of dropping you into an empty form.
Damage per round suggestions
The CR suggestions now read damage out of your creature's attacks and check it against the target for that rating.
Statblock redesign
Statblocks now follow the official 2024 book layout much more closely, everywhere they appear.
Improved attack and save lines
Attacks can carry a second damage rider and an on-hit effect, and saving throws can name their targets.
Auto-save and the CR calculator
The editor saves as you work, and now tells you whether your creature actually fights at its challenge rating.
Pre-defined traits
A searchable library of common traits, ready to drop into a creature with one click.
Creature building guide
Seven chapters on designing homebrew monsters for the 2024 rules, with a full CR benchmark table.
Smart attack and save lines
Insert a whole attack or saving throw line with one click, then edit its parts in a popup.
Improved Export
Homebrewery markdown and print-ready PDF export return, both on the creature detail page.
SRD monsters and dynamic attack tokens
The full 2024 SRD bestiary is built in and attack lines now recompute from a creature's ability scores.
