DnD Monster Cards 5e

NEW - ILLUSTRATED CARD BACKS. An engraved card back for the whole bestiary. Print them 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.

Every creature in the SRD, on its own card, with the whole stat block on it.

No flipping through a book mid-fight. Deal out what the party is about to meet and run the encounter off the cards.

WHAT YOU GET

382 cards covering all 322 creatures, four to a sheet, with cut guides.

Six decks sorted by challenge rating - 0 to 1, 2 to 4, 5 to 10, 11 to 16, 17 and up, plus the complete bestiary. Print only the tier your party will actually meet.

Every card carries the full stat block: armour class, hit points with hit dice, every speed, all six ability scores with their modifiers, saving throws, skills, resistances and immunities, senses, languages, and 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

Every card has a ruled strip along the bottom for tracking damage. That is the line you actually need in a fight, and it is the reason the cards are this size rather than playing-card size - a stat block shrunk onto a poker card stops being readable at exactly the moment you need it.

CARD SIZE

97 x 133 mm, near A6, four to a sheet.

WHO IT IS FOR

A DM who is tired of holding a page open with one hand, and a new DM who wants the numbers in front of them instead of somewhere in a book.

THE FILES

24 PDFs in two downloads. Each of the six decks comes in A4 and US Letter, and each of those in colour and in a printer-friendly build for saving ink. The printer-friendly version is the same document in pure white, nothing removed. Download A4 or US Letter - whichever your printer uses.

Print at 100 percent, or Actual size - not Fit to page. Every file opens with a page explaining how to print and how to read a card, and a key to the 14 creature-type colours.

Compatible with Fifth Edition. Instant digital download - nothing is posted.
