5e Lookup

Run the lookup tool at /home/marvin/.openclaw/workspaces/zordon/skills/5e-lookup/tools/lookup.sh via the exec tool. Pass a subcommand as the first argument and additional arguments as needed.

Monster lookup

bash /home/marvin/.openclaw/workspaces/zordon/skills/5e-lookup/tools/lookup.sh monster "Goblin"

# Look up a monster from a specific source
bash /home/marvin/.openclaw/workspaces/zordon/skills/5e-lookup/tools/lookup.sh monster "Mind Flayer" MM

# List all monsters from a source (returns names + CR only)

# Show table of contents for an adventure (use the ID from the list)
bash /home/marvin/.openclaw/workspaces/zordon/skills/5e-lookup/tools/lookup.sh adventure-outline LMoP

bash /home/marvin/.openclaw/workspaces/zordon/skills/5e-lookup/tools/lookup.sh adventure-read LMoP "Goblin Arrows"

Output format

The tool returns structured JSON with these fields:

• title — Name of the entry
• url — Link to the 5etools page for this entry
• description — Main text content
• fields — Array of { "name", "value", "inline" } objects for stats
• image — URL to artwork (when available, or null)
• footer — Source book and page number (plain string)
• color — Embed color as a decimal integer

Presenting results: use the discord-embed skill (REQUIRED)

You MUST send every 5e-lookup result through the discord-embed skill's send-embed.sh tool. Never dump the JSON as plain text. Never describe the data in a regular message. Always send an embed card.

Workflow

1. Run the 5e-lookup tool to get the JSON result
2. Build a discord-embed compatible JSON object from the result
3. Send it via bash /home/marvin/.openclaw/workspaces/zordon/skills/discord-embed/tools/send-embed.sh <channel_id> '<embed_json>'

Mapping lookup output → discord-embed JSON

The lookup tool output needs minor reshaping for the discord-embed format:

Example: Monster lookup → embed

After running lookup.sh monster "Goblin", build and send:

bash /home/marvin/.openclaw/workspaces/zordon/skills/discord-embed/tools/send-embed.sh CHANNEL_ID '{
  "title": "Goblin",
  "url": "https://5e.r2plays.games/bestiary.html#goblin_mm",
  "description": "Small humanoid, Neutral Evil\n\n**Traits**\n...",
  "color": 15158332,
  "image": {"url": "https://5e.r2plays.games/img/MM/Goblin.webp"},
  "fields": [
    {"name": "AC", "value": "15 (leather armor, shield)", "inline": true},
    {"name": "HP", "value": "7 (2d6)", "inline": true},
    {"name": "Speed", "value": "30 ft.", "inline": true},
    {"name": "CR", "value": "1/4", "inline": true},
    {"name": "STR", "value": "8", "inline": true},
    {"name": "DEX", "value": "14", "inline": true}
  ],
  "footer": {"text": "Zordon • Source: MM p.166"},
  "timestamp": "2026-02-12T20:00:00.000Z"
}'

Response guidelines

• For single-entry lookups (monster, spell, item, condition, background): send a full embed with all available fields, artwork, and the 5etools link
• For list commands (monsters, spells, items, adventures, conditions, backgrounds): send a compact embed with entries in the description; cap at 20 entries and mention the total count
• For adventure reads: use the embed description for the chapter text; split into multiple embeds if content exceeds 4000 characters
• Always include the 5etools link as the embed url so users can click the title to view the full page
• When image is not null, include it as image: {url: "..."} in the embed — this shows monster art, adventure covers, etc.
• Keep your text response to one sentence or less — the embed IS the response
• If the lookup returns an error or no results, tell the user clearly and suggest checking the name spelling or trying a different source

When to use this skill

• Someone asks about a monster or creature — use monster <name>
• Someone asks about a spell — use spell <name>
• Someone asks about a magic item or weapon — use item <name>
• Someone asks about a condition (blinded, frightened, etc.) — use condition <name>
• Someone asks about a background — use background <name>
• Someone asks about an adventure module — use adventures to list, then adventure-outline and adventure-read
• Someone asks "what source is X from?" — the footer in every lookup response shows the source
• Someone wants to browse what's available — use the list commands

Reminder

The tool returns data from the owner's personal database. You display it. That's the entire workflow. If you catch yourself typing a stat block, spell description, or item entry from memory instead of running the tool — stop, run the tool, and embed the result.
