The Patreon Monster Hunter Monster Manual Year 5

Hello Everyone!

Here is the new Year 5 Patreon MHMM update! In this update I have added all previous monsters from the past year. This should also be the last update to this PDF outside of fixes or formatting changes.

I am still doing the monster hunter polls as we moved into frontier/explorer/othergames, but they will come in their own PDF separate from this one.

I want to thank you all for your support. Without all of you this project wouldn't be what it is today. I look f...

January 2024 MH Frontier/Online/ETC Monster Poll

Hello Everyone! 

It is finally here! The monster hunter frontier/online/explorer/other games poll has begun. While I don't have a ton of knowledge on many of these monsters, I have converted many of the previous variants from just watching videos. So I am not concerned with how they will turn out. In addition, with such a large number of monsters to pick from, I am going to do the first few polls with the maximum number of monsters I can pick. I am going to try and use new ones in ...

Monster Hunt: Jolly Jaws of the Yule Beast

Hello Everyone,

Here is this month's monster hunt (that I completely forgot to put a poll for due my thought process with the emerald congalala)!  Due to that, this hunt was setup with multiple level ranges in mind and it fits the theme of the season. In this hunt, a group 3rd, 6-7th, or 12th level hunters go to the Snowy Moutains to hunt down the Christmas Volvidon causing wintry mischief in the nearby hunting ground. Depending on which level you do the hunt, will depend ...

The Player's Guide to Monster Hunting

Hi Everyone,

I took a break from the young monsters this month after a couple of patrons asked if there would ever be a Player's Guide to Monster Hunting. I liked the idea and it felt like something worth doing as a nice core book for those GMs that don't want to give away all the secrets AGtMH has. This new guide for players, removes a lot of the tables, the unknown history. Basically all the DM side of things. This way players have a handbook that is specifically catered to them. ...

Subspecies: Emerald Congalala

Hello Everyone!

This months winner (by default) is the emerald congalala! The emerald congalala is the CR 11 version of the CR 6 congalala.  Being the last standard subspecies monster to make pre MHW, the emerald congalala I think would be a fun monster to run. Its mobility due to legendary actions, deadly leap, mixed with its ability to poison, and cause other effects from its chow down make it a force to be reckoned with. It is basically the more flatulent version of a s...

Monster Request Monster Manual November 2023 Update

Monster Hunt: Colossal Conundrum

Hello Everyone,

Here is this month's monster hunt! In this hunt, a group of 2nd-level hunters go to the Ancestral Steppes to hunt down the Greatest Jaggi which has grown due to some unknown reason. I gave one example reason in the hunt if you need one. The hunt features new challenges for the area and others themed based on shrinking or enlarging creatures. Overall I am happy with it and I think it gives GMs the option to introduce monster hunter style game, while incorporating...

Subspecies: Purple Gypceros

Hello Everyone!

This months winner is the purple gypceros! The purple gypceros is the CR 14 version of the CR 8 gypceros.  There wasn't a huge difference between the normal and its subspecies in the video games, except one thing. It really likes to blind hunters ALL the time. Due to that I incorporated its Flash into its multiattack, in addition to giving it legendary actions for more mobility and damage.

This was also the very last poll for normal Monster Hunter monsters. It...

November 2023 Variant Monster Poll (Final Poll Before Moving to Frontier/Online)

Here is this month's variant monster poll. With Copper Blangonga being the winner last month, it has been removed from the poll. As a reminder, these are the current remaining monsters to make before we move into frontier, online, other monsters in January. This is the final poll of the year, because which ever you don't chose this month is going to be Decembers monster. It is pretty insane that these polls have been going on that long and I appreciate having all of you here ...

New Weapon Request + Monster Request Monster Manual October 2023 Update

• Dodo-Ya-Ku (Monster Hunter Fandom)
• Desert Ukanlos + Loot Table (Monster Hunter Fandom)
• Fixed Champion of Tiamat Stat block (It was missing the 2nd half)

In addition to this update I was requested to build a new MH weapon. Originally it was supposed to be mage focused, but the idea behind the weapon ...

Halloween Themed Monster Hunter: The Haunting of Hollowed Grounds

Hello Everyone,

Here an additional monster hunt for the month due to a request by one of my higher tier patrons! In this hunt, a group of 7th or 8th-level hunters go to a village that is under siege by a gravecaller radobaan (A normal radobaan with a couple changes). Send out your hunters on this Halloween themed hunt where they will bargin with spirits, battle ghostly monsters, and hopefully save the village!

In the attachments below, you will find the PDF of the hunt. There is n...

PF2e - Loot Table Thoughts and Example PDF

Hi Everyone,

I worked on this earlier in the month, but one of the biggest challenges to PF2e is going to be the loot tables. The item/crafting system in PF2e is extremely intricate but breaks down to invested items, runes, talismans, and a couple others I can't think of off the top of my head.

I have a few thoughts and I don't know how I feel about them just yet, but I think this is worth you all  taking a look at and it is usable as it is right now.

• The loot tab...

5e Young Monsters: Young Espinas & Diablos Whelp

Hello everyone,

Here is this months newest additions to the young monster hunter monsters. The young espinas and diablos whelp! While the diablos is fairly standard change to a lower CR creature, I thought the young espinas might be a bit different. In this case, it doesn't have that hard armor carapace. Instead its hide is softer, until it grows into its adult form. This changes it habits and traits it has due to that.

These monsters will remain in early access until I finish bot...

Subspecies: Copper Blangonga

Hello Everyone!

This months winner is the copper blangonga! The copper blangonga is the CR 15 version of the CR 9 blangonga. The copper blangonga is fairly similar to the normal blangonga with minor flavor differences to its attacks in the video game (ice blocks are boulders, ice breath becomes sand breath, etc). While that is the case with some of its abilities in its stat block, I did try to change it up some, that way it isn't just a flavor CR update. Overall I am happy with it and I...

Monster Hunt: Gendrome Roadblock

Hello Everyone,

Here is this month's monster hunt! In this hunt, a group of 3rd-level hunters go to the Desert to hunt down two gendromes that lead a large pack of genprey. I decided this hunt would be a bit longer, requiring the PCs to gather 3 signs per gendrome and fight them at different times. I added another 1-2 minor challenges to make up for this and to fit the theme of "a lot of genprey" I included genprey in almost every combat challenge. 

In the attachments below, ...

October 2023 Variant Monster Poll

Hi Everyone,

Here is this month's variant monster poll. With Plum Daimyo Hermitaur being the winner last month, it has been removed from the poll. As a reminder, these are the current remaining monsters to make before we move into frontier, online, other monsters in this poll. I will continue to remove them from the poll until we hit the very last one.

All Early Access patrons and above will be able to vote on the creatures they would like to see created next. 2023-10-03 21:00:03 +0000 UTC View Post

Patron Weapon Request: Wire Knuckles (Basically a Monk Weapon)

Hello Everyone,

Last month one of my  HR6 patrons requested that I balance/create a final version of a weapon they came up with. This weapon was created for one of their players to use and I wanted to make it available to all of you as well.

The wire knuckles are designed for a PC that uses unarmed strikes (mainly monks, but it could work with any class that does it). It is designed to be a defensive/control style weapon that uses movement to avoid additional attacks or other...

5e Young Monsters: Bazelgeusling & Young Barioth

Hello everyone,

I stated last month I was going to continue doing the young monsters that I started a long while ago and here is this months newest additions. The bazelgeusling and young barioth give GMs new mid level options to throw at players.

These monsters will remain in early access until I finish both the brute and flying wyverns. After that point I may continue making more, or I might take a break and work on something else I want to complete, but this is my plan for right...

PF2e Weapon Feats + Monster Hunt - Midnight Ambush (8 new monsters, 3 new hazards, cleaned up rules)

Hello Everyone!

I am happy to provide you all with a new hunt for the PF2e MH conversion. This hunt is almost a mirror to the 5e hunt I released this month with only a couple creatures changing for the encounters. As it stands I plan to make the hunted monster and false monster severe encounters   if the PCs are above 5th level. The major challenge monsters are going to be deadly (or severe if its lower than 5th level).

This hunt should be 100% playable with a normal PF...

Monster Hunt: A Midnight Ambush

Hello Everyone,

Here is this month's monster hunt! In this hunt, a group of 7th-level hunters go to the Jungle to hunt down the gold standard of monster hunter monsters, the nargacuga (clearly no bias here). I was excited to see another month of votes for higher level hunts. I also realized I never made a hunt with my favorite monster from MHFU as a target. So today you will send your hunters out on a night hunt against a nargacuga and the other denizens of the night. I wish th...

Subspecies: Plum Daiymo Hermitaur

Hello Everyone!

This months winner is the plum daiymo hermitaur! The plum daiymo hermitaur is the CR 15 version of the CR 9 daiymo hermitaur. While we have multiple hermitaurs in a range of CRs, it felt proper to put the plum between its standard self and the tempered version. The biggest thing I noticed when making this monster, is it never retreated into its shell like normal daiymo. Instead it was extremely aggressive with its Claw attacks. I tried to emulate this change in the daimy...

September 2023 Variant Monster Poll

Hi Everyone,

Here is this month's variant monster poll. With Ruby Basarios being the winner last month, it has been removed from the poll. As a reminder, these are the current remaining monsters to make before we move into frontier, online, other monsters in this poll. I will continue to remove them from the poll until we hit the very last one.
