Monster Generator 2 is a redesign of Monster Generator 1 from the ground up, with more features and created to be more modular and modifiable.

Improvements from Monster Generator 1:

• Web page format (no more downloading, works on various devices)
• Monsters can be saved, shared, and viewed online
• Monsters have feat selections that make more sense and follow trees (at random)
• Actual processing for which feats are qualified
• Search function for abilities, feats, etc
• AI generated monster description (chat GPT)
• AI generated monster image (stable diffusion)
• Chatbot integration to view monster stats on discord
• Better list for special abilities, feats, and attacks
• Abilities are more intelligently randomized: some are far more rare than others
• Larger list of abilities and subtypes
• More abilities' bonuses are included in the monster stat blocks automatically
• Can create monsters with fractional challenge ratings (1/8-1/2)

---

Missing features from Monster Generator 1:

• Custom abilities not supported
• Spell lists not supported
• Dual wielding not fully supported
• Elemental selections for some abilities not fully supported
• Mutually exclusive powers not fully supported

There are plans to update to include the old missing features in the near future.

Monster Generator 1's old thread is here, (and that program is still available on Sourceforge)

If you have any questions/ comments/ suggestions about Monster Generator 2, I'd like to hear them.
