Short description
A Monte Carlo combat simulator that runs 150,000 fights to tell a Dungeon Master, with about 99.5% accuracy, whether an encounter will wipe the party.

Long description
D&D Combat Balancer lets a Dungeon Master test an encounter before the dice hit the table. Set up the party (27-point buy or 4d6, class features, feats and gear) and pre-built or custom monsters, then it fights the battle 150,000 times by 5E rules: initiative, action economy, movement on a 2D grid, attacks of opportunity, spells, area effects, damage over time, conditions, resistances and spell slots. It reports how winnable the encounter is, about 99.5% accurate at predicting a total party kill, and lets you compare encounters side by side. Pixel-art battles, sound effects and music make the testing fun.
