I know I've seen this somewhere but I can't find it now, I'm looking for a chart of abbreviations. For example, "AC", or "DC", I know "DC" is dice, but I'm not sure what the C is for, after all we refer to dice as D& a number. But I have no idea what AC is. I've seen several other abbreviations I didn't know but can't think of them now.

Isnt DC difficulty class?
I can see that being right, I just see it listed as "Roll a DC 20", so I assumed dice.

Thank You those are perfect. There's probably some I'll never use, but they are still perfect.
Thank you so much for posting all of this!
May I recommend https://www.themonstersknow.com/ for monster strategies and https://tetra-cube.com/dnd/dnd-statblock.html for an easy to use Homebrew Monster creator with SRD monsters you can modify. I don't know if these are helpful, but I hope they are.

Huh. I just randomly click on this, and one of my guides is in here.
Can't say I was expecting that. Cheers!
