After you have a basic idea of monster balance, you can pretty easily modify them on your own.\r\n\r\n[5e SRD (free) Monsters by CR](https://5thsrd.org/gamemaster_rules/monster_indexes/monsters_by_cr/)\r\n\r\n[Amazon 5e Monster Manual](https://www.amazon.com/Dungeons-Dragons-Monster-Rulebook-Roleplaying/dp/0786965614)\r\n\r\n\u0026gt;what npc sells what\r\n\r\nThe short answer is whatever you want them to sell. \r\n\r\nIn most towns, a blacksmith would be available for basic weapons and tools and maybe armor. The bigger the town, the more they can make and the more skilled they are. They might even have some premade for just such an occasion.\r\n\r\nMost towns will have an inn for travellers and a general store for basic items. Most supplies will be available in these stores.\r\n\r\n__Currency__ I would suggest treating 1 copper equal to $1. This give you a baseline for guessing prices when it's not in the players handbook. 1copper=$1, 1silver=$10, 1gold=$100\r\n\r\n\u0026gt;when a character levels up.\r\n\r\nThere are two basic ways to do this.\r\n\r\n__XP__ After a combat encounter, add up all the XP values for the enemies, and divide it equally between the players. When they have enough XP to reach the next level (there is a table in the handbook), they level up. Some dms will make players wait until they are safe in town or have some downtime to actually do the level up process. This is up to you. \r\n\r\n__Milestones__ This is a more abstract method. With this method, you tell the players when they level up. Usually every 3-4 sessions and ideally after important events in-game. This give you a bit more control over how quickly characters gain levels.\r\n\r\nEach class had a list of the features they gain at each level. They all also gain more HP based on their class's hit die. Proficiency also goes up every couple levels.","subreddit_name":"DnD","author":"ginganinja042"},{"body":"Well, That's a complicated question. I would think that for **all** monsters that exist in the DnD universe as a whole you would need to go to the edition with the most published monster manuals. My guess would probably be 3/3.5 for that. It has five Monster Manuals as well as several other compendiums. You can find a full list of the books for that edition in [this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/3d2ptm/complete_list_of_dnd_35_source_books/).\r\n\r\nIf you want all the monsters that are in use in the current edition (5e) then you need to pick up the [Monster Manual](https://www.amazon.com/Monster-Manual-Core-Rulebook-Wizards/dp/0786965614/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1510765817\u0026amp;sr=8-1\u0026amp;keywords=monster+manual) and [Volo's Guide to Monsters](https://www.amazon.com/Volos-Guide-Monsters-Wizards-Team/dp/0786966017/ref=sr_1_1?s=books\u0026amp;ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1510765849\u0026amp;sr=1-1\u0026amp;keywords=volos+guide+to+monsters+5e) for the vast majority of them.","subreddit_name":"DnD","author":"wilk8940"},{"body":"[About 50% off is still a fortune?](https://www.amazon.com/Monster-Manual-Core-Rulebook-Wizards/dp/0786965614/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1472855055\u0026amp;sr=8-1\u0026amp;keywords=d%26d+monster+manual)","subreddit_name":"DnD","author":"CapnSmite"}]}
