== Features ==

=== Plot Flowchart ===

Masterplan allows you to organise your adventure using a simple drag-and-drop flowchart view, which indicates when the party is likely to level up.  

=== Combat Encounters ===

Masterplan lets you build combat encounters, displaying the creature statblocks and the encounter XP value; XP targets are shown and inappropriate challenges are highlighted, and creatures can be levelled up and down as desired. Masterplan can generate encounters randomly or semi-randomly using the DMG encounter templates or an encounter deck. Masterplan can even run the combat encounter, keeping track of hit points, conditions and ongoing damage.  

=== Treasure Parcels ===

Masterplan contains a treasure parcel generator which automatically pulls in magic items of the appropriate levels.  

=== Traps / Hazards ===

Masterplan includes a simple editor for creating traps and hazards. Traps can be added to encounters.  

=== Skill Challenges ===

Masterplan includes a skill challenge editor which automatically calculates the XP value of a skill challenge and provides appropriate DC values. Skill challenges can be added to encounters. 
 
=== Tactical Maps ===

Masterplan allows you to build and edit maps using dungeon tiles or other images; these maps can then be used in encounters. Maps can be automatically generated, and delve-style adventures can be randomly generated from any map with one click. During combat you can even draw directly on the map. 

=== Encyclopedia ===

Masterplan contains an integrated project encyclopedia.  

=== Player Options ===

You can define races, paragon paths, epic destinies, feats etc for player use.  

=== Player View ===

During a session, Masterplan makes it easy for you to share information with your players using a separate display.  

=== Extensibility ===

You can extend Masterplan by writing add-ins for it.  

=== Compendium Integration ===

You can download creatures, traps / hazards and magic items into Masterplan directly from the Wizards of the Coast Compendium.  This feature has been disabled due to a C&D letter from Wizards of the Coast.  However, creatures can still be exported from the Adventure Tools and imported into Masterplan.

== Community ==

Masterplan had a Facebook page, and users of it also communicated on the old Wizards D&D forums, both which are defunct.

In 2020 a script to export MasterPlan stats to Roll20 was created by draconas1
