Looks like a good tool! One thing though: could you add the ability to give the creature reactions? Right now there's no way to make that section
I love this tool, im not sure if im just dumb but could you please add a way to add condition immunities and resistance to piercing slashing and bludgeoning damage from non magical weapons?
how have more people not seen or used this or left comments? This is a really useful tool and I look forward to seeing what else you do
I will say though the hit dice is not working, nor can I select what type of dice to use
Apologies for getting to this so late, you will find that the tool has been fixed, and the Hit Dice now update correctly
