3.5 Encounter generator for more then just the first monster manual

[Shadow Wizard]

Is anyone familiar with an online random encounter generator that includes books other then the first monster manual? My players are (not surprisingly) sick of fighting the same old monsters, so I want to give them something new!

There are several encounter tables in the environmental books, and in the campaign setting books, you could work with that. No generators I'm aware of, though.

When I needed such for my game I created it myself. It isn't generator, just google table.

And in modules.

You generally won't find generators online for those outside the SRD - because outside said SRD, the content is not OGL, and accordingly you can't publish tables of them without invoking the wrath of a random IP Protection/Compliance Officer in WOTC.

That said, try searching around on Chartopia - I have seen encounter tables on there for Stormwrack at least, so you might have some luck with them there.

I wouldn't imagine it would invoke any wrath if all it included was the names, CR, and reference to book and page number

Look up what happened to a site named monsterfinder.dndrunde.de . It was basically precisely that, with an added column of "Environment", and it nonetheless got the CaDbomb from orbit.

Sometimes just names is enough.

What a bunch of shortsighted jerks. "No, you may not ever, under any circumstances, tell people about all the cool things in our books that they'd need to buy if they want to know the details about"

You can also go after some homebrew monsters if you want something creative. I've been making a bunch of wacky monsters recently, many of them designed to carry class levels and serve as interesting replacements to the normal goblin/hobgoblin/orc/bugbear/gnoll/ogre grind.
