DnD Monster Cards 5e

Printable monster cards for D&D 5e in both the 2014 and the 2024 editions — a full stat block on each one, ruled at the bottom so you can tick hit points off during the fight.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

📦 WHAT YOU GET — both editions

▪ 2014 rules (SRD 5.1) — 382 cards covering all 322 creatures

▪ 2024 revision (SRD 5.2) — 353 cards covering all 331 creatures

▪ 6 decks sorted by challenge rating, plus the complete bestiary

▪ Four to a sheet, with cut guides

They are separate PDFs, so nothing is mixed up. Print whichever edition your table plays. Both are laid out on the same grid and share the same illustrated backs.

📊 SORTED BY CHALLENGE RATING

CR 0–1 · CR 2–4 · CR 5–10 · CR 11–16 · CR 17 and up · and the complete bestiary.

Print only the tier your party will actually meet.

🃏 THE WHOLE STAT BLOCK, ON THE CARD

▪ Armour class, hit points with hit dice, every speed

▪ All six ability scores with their modifiers

▪ Saving throws, skills, resistances and immunities

▪ Senses and languages

▪ Every trait, action, reaction and legendary action, written out in full

82 percent of the bestiary fits on a single card. The rest continue onto a second, marked 1/2 and 2/2, with nothing abbreviated and nothing left out.

📏 RULED FOR HIT POINTS — AND WHY THE CARDS ARE THIS SIZE

Every card has a ruled strip along the bottom for tracking damage. That is the line you actually need in a fight.

It is also the reason these are 97 × 133 mm, near A6, rather than playing-card size. A stat block shrunk onto a poker card stops being readable at exactly the moment you need it.

🖼️ ILLUSTRATED CARD BACKS

An engraved card back for the whole bestiary.

Print it on the reverse of the card sheets and the deck stops looking like a printout. Every back sits exactly on the same grid as the fronts, so one cut serves both sides.

Prefer plain backs? Simply do not print that page. Nothing else changes.
