Dnd 5e NPC/Monster Statblocks Reborn

D&D 5e NPC Statblock — Usage Guide

Renders a Monster Manual–style statblock on any Kanka entity. All properties are optional — blank ones are simply hidden.

I would recommend using this statblock helper to aid in formatting the rich text sections

Properties

Most properties are plain text and self-explanatory. The ones worth noting:

Rich text properties

The following properties render raw HTML, so they need to be formatted as HTML, not plain text:

• npc_traits
• npc_spellcasting
• npc_actions
• npc_bonus_actions
• npc_reactions
• npc_legendary_actions
• npc_lair_actions

Each ability or action follows the Monster Manual format — a bold name, then the description:

<p><strong>Multiattack.strong> The captain makes three melee attacks.p>
<p><strong>Longsword.strong> <em>Melee Weapon Attack:em> +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. <em>Hit:em> 8 (1d8 + 4) slashing damage.p>

Using the Statblock Helper

Writing HTML by hand gets tedious. The included NPC Statblock Formatter.html tool generates this for you. Open it in any browser (no install needed), fill in names and descriptions, and copy the output directly into the Kanka property.

Dark mode

The statblock has a ☾ Dark button in the top-right corner that toggles a dark theme. This requires the JS file to be installed alongside the CSS and template.
