NOTE: The monster list will be rebuilt according to the matching monster pictures that could be found. The ideais to keep iconic monsters found in Wizardry and add missing D&D or common mythological monsters. It's possible that monsters get designed according to their requirements in adventures. That means some pictures will have no monster stats, they will be added as needed.

OLD RULES

This is the current list of monsters. Most stats has been improvised so far and many stats are not in the list (hard to convert bitfield has text for example ).

The list is not complete since it only contains non-class monsters from wizardry 1. New monsters will be available once extracted from wizardry 2-3 and additional monsters will be created with class monsters (ex: Level 5 ninja) which are like flexible monsters since they have a variable level.

Monster List

As you will see, most stats are flexible to allow being generated automatically inside the game to avoid manual editing and data duplication.

• Level: Determines the number of HP dice and MP dice are rolled. So if a monster rolls D8, then a level 12 monster will have 12D8 of HP.
• Size: Determined the type of HP die that will be rolled and the type of Die it will use to inflict damage. So the bigger the creature, the more HP it has, and the more DMG it makes.
• Power: Same thing has size, but for magic. It determines the MP die and the Magic Damage Die.
• AD, MD, CS, DR, Init: Same stats has the characters (Active defense, Magic Defense, Combat Skill, Damage Resistance, initiative). The only difference it that it's the final value, it's not modified by anything else.
• Range: This is the range of the monster's basic attack. 1 is melee, 2 is short and 3 is long range. Monsters can have additional attacks that will have different ranges.
• Clumsiness: This is the clumsiness of the monster's basic attack. Additional attacks will have different clumsiness.

Bonus Modifiers for Bosses

It is not yet implemented, but for special bosses, I will allow the possibility to add a bonus from +1 to +5 that will apply like attribute bonus to characters. So it will affect all D20 stats, HP and damage roll. The idea is to be able to use any monster as a boss by giving it a bonus without having to have boss specific monsters. So if you want to have a boss "Vorpal Bunny", you can.
