Your rules edition
Pick the edition the site should use. Your choice is remembered in this browser and applies to every surface marked "Follows your choice" below.
What the verdicts mean
- Updated to 2024: the surface now uses the 2024 rules, and 2014 wording is not offered.
- Edition neutral: the surface does not depend on a rules edition, so nothing changes.
- Follows your choice: the surface offers both editions, and the effect of your choice is described in its row.
Every surface
| Surface | Verdict | Effect of the rules choice |
|---|---|---|
Monster Generator/monster-generator/api/monster/api/monster/batch | Follows your choice | On 2014 rules, monster stat blocks keep separate Vulnerabilities, Resistances, and Immunities lines, lair actions on initiative count 20, and 2014 legendary action and Legendary Resistance wording with no Initiative line. On 2024 rules, they gain an Initiative line, combined Immunities, Legendary Resistance with a lair count, and lair behavior expressed within legendary actions. |
Trap Generator/trap-generator/api/trap | Follows your choice | On 2014 rules, traps use homebrew CR-band prose. On 2024 rules, they use the Trigger, Duration, Detect, and Disarm structure, in SRD 5.2.1 or original wording. |
Downtime Planner/downtime-planner/api/downtime | Follows your choice | Crafting and scroll scribing follow rules: 2014 keeps today's material-cost and time rates, 2024 uses the 2024 rates. The other downtime activities are labeled "optional downtime activities" and make no edition claim. |
| Encounters/encounter-generator | Follows your choice | On the 2014 toggle, the generator calls /api/encounter with easy, medium, hard, and deadly difficulty, sends no party list, and shows no XP receipt. On 2024 it calls /api/encounter/v2 with low, moderate, high, and deadly difficulty and shows an XP receipt. Saved entries store which endpoint produced them. |
Encounter API (v1)/api/encounter | Follows your choice | Serves the 2014 Easy/Medium/Hard/Deadly XP-budget encounter math, the legacy counterpart to /api/encounter/v2. |
Encounter API (v2)/api/encounter/v2 | Updated to 2024 | Uses the 2024 rules on both settings. |
