If you’d like to create your own monsters, use the table above for your monster’s stats. You can also mix and match stats from different levels for a different kind of monster. For each special ability added (e.g. the Kobold’s "Noooo!" ability), lower the HP or damage 1 step or treat the monster as 1 step stronger.

Example If you wanted a glass cannon type of enemy, like a mage or an assassin, you can use damage from 1-5 rows higher, and the HP from an equal number of rows lower. A level 5 mage might have 34 HP and deal 26 damage per round. If we give the mage a teleport ability, it’d be as strong as a level 6 monster. For a tanky, defensive creature, lower the damage and increase the HP/Armor.
