## What It Does

- Generates Draw Steel monsters using official Monster Basics formulas
- Creates Dynamic Terrain Objectives (traps, hazards, mechanisms, siege engines, power fixtures, supernatural objects)
- Generates retainers (NPC followers) with advancement abilities
- Generates treasures and titles as rewards
- Converts content from other systems (D&D 5e, Pathfinder, etc.) - ignores source math, uses for inspiration only
- Creates and validates Foundry VTT-ready JSON for import
