    But check if it's updated as the new D&D ruleset updates broke some extensions.

    A certain hobbit: We've had 1 action, yes. But what about second action?

    2nd Action: You can attack if you didn't attack in current turn, after you used your action for non-attack action. OR you can use a non-attack basic action if you attacked in your current turn. Use one or the other.

    Let me clear one thing. This is only for "attack" as in weapon attack. Not attack spells, etc. Otherwise it would be too OP even for solo as there is no limit to it (long rest, etc).

    I am thinking about this subject a lot since I started writing it and the most important KEY to Solo Combat is simply playing all the combatants according to their nature. Let me tell you why:

    Whatever random combat AI tables or tactics - counter tactics tables you use, it'll all end up feel like you playing chess against yourself. Best way to retain immersion is twofold:

    1) The nature of each creature -including your PC- IS the anchor for immersion. Therefore, it is needed to be understood, then applied.
    2) Suspension of disbelief is maintained as long as you play combat fairly. Which is tied to the nature of combatants indirectly.

    I just noticed some monster links to Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes in Random Encounters section while trying high level encounters. Some CR7 ones in various categories. If you bought the module before it's delisted, you can still use it. But if you jumped the VTT train after the books delisted (like me), it doesn't seem to get updated. Last update is 17-06-2019.

    Also note that this book's/module's random encounter tables are only up to CR7 and for level 1-15 Solo PC or 2 PCs. There is a conversion table for playing 1 PC with easier encounter and 2 PC vice versa. The second installment "The Solo Adventurer's Toolbox Part Two: The Toolbox Expanded" completes the random encounter tables by adding stuff for level 16-20 PCs. It's last update is October 07, 2023.

    EDIT: I know it's a bit late to mention this but I forgot to add about the usage of Content Creator 2020.

    NOTE:
    There are links to Player's Handbook (2014) and Dungeon Master's Manual (2014) in the Plot Gen of JimSocks' Content Gen 2020. If you're playing with (free) SRD data, you won't be able to use the links but you still can use SRD equivalent classes, etc to create your own. Also, if you don't have DMG you won't be able to create the 2 villain classes (Anti Paladin, Evil High Priest) at all, but instead, you can create a normal Paladin & Cleric and play them mean.

    NEWS: from Grimlore. As of 14/09/2024.

    Note: Combat Groups extension was created for, and fully supports, D&D5e (2014). If you are using the D&D5e (2024) rulebooks, some features and functions may not be fully compatible at this time.

    EDITED: I noticed that Adaptable NPCs has been renewed and its price raised to 30$ from 20. I added "Friend or Foe Folio" which is a cheaper alternative.
