Combat & DM Tools

Tools for running fights at the table: check how hard an encounter is with the SRD 5.2.1 XP budget, build it from SRD monsters, track initiative, hit points and conditions, and print a DM screen with the rules you look up most.

Before and during the fight

Plan with the encounter calculator or pick monsters in the encounter builder; both use the SRD 5.2.1 XP budget per character for Low, Moderate and High difficulty. At the table, the initiative tracker keeps the turn order, hit points and conditions, the conditions and exhaustion pages give the exact rules text, and the damage calculator shows how likely an attack is to hit.

For the game master’s desk

Make your own creatures in the monster maker, which works out proficiency bonus, XP, saves and attack bonuses from the challenge rating and ability scores, and print a DM screen with the tables you look up most.
