Bard's Tale Online
MONSTER MANUAL
for Bard's Tale I.

How I (Tom) Did This:
To compile this list, I created a nearly invincible party of six archmages, then I went and hunted each monster down and used the Spell Bind spell (SPBI) to bind them to my party, thus letting me see their AC and Hits.

If a monster has a range of hit points, it is the lowest and the highest which I have encountered. If it has only one number, I have only encountered one of that monster, or all I found had the same hit points.

I've found that all monsters in one group will have the same hitpoints.

Update: Drawing from other sources, I (thebruce) combined data to fill in blank in this list. Soon it may continue to grow or morph with more additional data.

Update: Thanks to the help from Clay Cummins, I (thebruce) have updated the images to include the Apple IIGS versions he captured!
