The TurnWarden Extension
Install the Extension, open a D&D Beyond monster page, and export the stat block as JSON ready to import into TurnWarden.
The TurnWarden Extension copies a monster's stat block from D&D Beyond so you do not retype it. Open a monster page, open the Extension popup, and the stat block is on your clipboard as JSON ready for TurnWarden's import pane.
The Extension lives in your browser toolbar and reads the page you are already on.
Getting the Extension
Install the TurnWarden Extension →The Extension is available on the Chrome Web Store for any Chrome-based browser. Installing takes a few seconds. The Extension needs no TurnWarden account and asks only for permission to read the page you have open.
How it works
The Extension parses the structured markup on a D&D Beyond monster page and extracts the complete stat block (AC, HP, ability scores, saving throws, skills, damage modifiers, condition immunities, actions, bonus actions, and legendary actions) and turns it into the JSON that TurnWarden's import pane accepts.
- 1.Open a D&D Beyond monster page
Navigate to any monster entry on D&D Beyond. This can be an SRD creature like the Aboleth, your own homebrew, or a creature from a sourcebook you own. The Extension works on any published or homebrew stat block you have access to.
- 2.Open the Extension popup
Select the TurnWarden Extension icon in your browser toolbar. The popup opens and immediately parses the monster on the page. You will see the creature name, AC, HP, and a preview of its abilities confirming the parse succeeded.
- 3.Copy the JSON
Select Copy JSON in the popup. The full stat block, formatted as TurnWarden's import JSON, is now on your clipboard.
- 4.Paste into TurnWarden
In the TurnWarden web app, find the Library rail on the left of the tracker. Select + Bind ▾ → Bind from Import. The Bind to Library dialog opens directly on the import pane. Paste your clipboard into the Monster JSON textarea and select Import. The actor appears at the top of your Library, ready to summon into any encounter. For the full paste-side workflow, see importing actors.
The Extension reads the page you have open; it does not call the D&D Beyond API directly. If a creature is behind a sourcebook paywall, you need access to that content in D&D Beyond for the Extension to parse it.
What the Extension does not do
The Extension handles stat blocks: AC, HP, abilities, actions, and damage modifiers. It does not import spell descriptions, item details, or encounter-level data such as environment tags. If you need to bring in a creature that is not on D&D Beyond, the importing actors article covers the JSON paste flow, which accepts actors from any source in TurnWarden's JSON shape.
What's next
With a creature or two in your library, see importing actors for the full paste flow, including creatures that are not on D&D Beyond, or getting started to run your first encounter.
