5e Monster Stats for Hot Springs Island
Organizing years of old game notes became such a laborious practice deleting them was preferable. I regret this. Instead, I'm choosing a community-share approach: to help others run great games. Below are premade 5e Hot Springs Island monster stats for gamemasters.
The Downloadables
Scribed in markdown, these files are targeted at lazy gamemasters gearing up to run Hot Springs Island. Loosely written in 5e, the stats don't have ability scores, but include modifiers for the "make it my own" types.
Take Note
Monsters are designed for players beginning at level 5, with no consideration for game balance. The island is lethal and playing smart with companion characters will make it manageable. Endgame hovers around Level 8–10, but only if you're using the stats as written. One more thing: range and movment is written in sqaures, not feet.
Monster not Found?
All commonly encountered hitters are represented, enough to get your campaign going, but a few oddball creatures need to be added still. I'm working on those still.
