Question 1

What is Boss Forge?

Accepted Answer

Boss Forge is a browser-based custom 5e boss generator for GMs. It lets you set offensive and defensive challenge ratings independently, choose boss action families, edit every generated field, and export for print, 5e.tools, or Foundry VTT.

Question 2

Can I export a Boss Forge monster to Foundry VTT?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A verified account receives one complete trial Foundry actor JSON export. Later Foundry exports require an active Forgemaster or Mythic subscription, or an unexpired Adventure Pass. 5e.tools export and print remain free.

Question 3

What do I get for free?

Accepted Answer

A new verified account receives 60 generation credits once and one complete trial Foundry export, with no payment method required. Editing, balance math, saving, printing, and 5e.tools export cost zero credits.

Question 4

How do Boss Forge AI credits work?

Accepted Answer

The forge shows the exact credit price before generation. Public GLM 5.3 Flash stat blocks cost 2, 4, or 7 credits based on action count. Extensive lore adds 2 credits, spellcasting adds 2, and each generated image or token costs 5.

Question 5

Does Boss Forge include official Dungeons & Dragons sourcebook content?

Accepted Answer

Boss Forge's built-in class spell catalog uses SRD 5.2 material under CC BY 4.0. Users may enter original material they own; Boss Forge does not scrape or bundle proprietary, non-SRD catalogs.
