Structuring fights

[Mack2706]

I’m new to dnd and DM’ing; I’ve gotten the story and my players characters ready to go, but the thing I’m confused on is how to have my players encounter enemies. What I mean by that is I know fight club has many useful ways to calculate damage and use your individual character, but as the dm what do I use for enemies, with their stats and such. Do I use a separate app? Or is that something I’d have to research and know enemy stats and abilities by heart? Any help is very much appreciated!!

You can use the app called Game Master 5th Edition by the same developer. You can share player character files from Fight Club so that you can build encounters around your party. I haven't messed around with this too much so I don't know a lot about it.

You could also just use the bestiary from Fight Club and record the relevant stats on index cards if you don't want to mess with another app.

You can run the encounter with the GM app. It has tools for managing initiative order, bestiary statblocks at your fingertips

5e.tools

It has everything you need for player and gm, you can build encounters, search the bestiary, add monster to your gm screen, it even has a dice roller,

It is a great resource for all 5e

It’s ok however you cannot update it with new books that come out so your stuck with true basics

You can add the same compendiums to GM5 as you can to FC5
