Hey All! I just finished putting together the AI-powered D&D 5e encounter generator. This tool allows you to create monsters or groups of monsters and determine the encounter difficulty based on your party’s composition—simply multiply the number of players by their levels to set difficulty thresholds (easy, medium, hard, or deadly). It also calculates the total adjusted experience based on the number of monsters and their Challenge Rating (CR).
What sets this generator apart is its capability to craft encounters with custom groups of monsters–all you need is a unique name for each monster. Once you’ve assembled your monster group, you can input a brief location description. This can be general, like a “misty forest,” or more specific, such as “the glimmering ruins of Xarnok,” with a bit of background on what Xarnok is—just enough to maintain a good balance without overloading on details.
Additionally, you can designate whether the encounter is an ambush, which will influence how the encounter is described. Upon generating the encounter, you’ll receive a narrative to read aloud and details about the encounter, including non-combat resolutions and possible outcomes.
Clicking “Generate Stat Block” produces custom stat blocks for the monsters in the encounter. Finally, all content can be copied in markdown format, compatible with Homebrewery, allowing you to create beautifully formatted encounters for your personal files or campaigns.
Finally, you can just click “Generate Encounter” without entering anything in any of the fields. This will create a completely random encounter
I hope you enjoy using this encounter generator as much as I enjoyed creating it. For any questions or feedback, please feel free to reach out!
