Frequency Grid:
If you want monsters of a particular frequency to be included in your sub-group you need to change its Selected attribute to True.  This can be done by either double clicking the corresponding Selected entry or using the drop down menu.
C is for Common
UC for Uncommon
R for Rare
VR for Very Rare
VVR for Very Very Rare
U for Unique
I added the Very Very Rare and Unique frequencies.  Very Very Rare would indicate such creatures as Avatars, where there exists more than one, but its a lot less likely to encounter an Avatar than say an Aarakocra.  Unique would be those creatures that only one exists.  The database currently does NOT have any creatures which have either of these two frequencies.  You can however, change frequencies by using the Set Frequency button or manually editing particular monsters using the Edit Monster Tab.

Selected:
If you want to include Monsters having a particular frequency set the Selected field to True, otherwise set it to False.  One can double click the Selected entry box to toggle between True and False; or one can use the drop down menu to make your choice.

Weight:
This refers to the relative chance that a monster with said frequency will be randomly determined.  See Random Method, below, for a more detailed explanation.

Random Method:
Sum all monsters for a given frequency:

1. Count the number of monsters for every given frequency.  e.g. 30 monsters with a frequency of common which match the Terrain, Climate, Campaign, and Plane.  20 with Uncommon, 30 with Rare, and 40 with Very Rare.
2. Multiply this number by the 'weight'.  e.g. Common (30 * 650 = 19500), Uncommon (200 * 20 = 4000), Rare ( 30 * 70 = 2100), and Very Rare (40 * 30 = 1200).
3. Add all of these numbers together (19500+4000+2100+1200=26800).
4. Roll a random number from 1 to the above number.  e.g. 26800.
5. Count up the 'weights' of the monster until you get to the selection.  e.g. you roll a

640 -- 1st monster in the Common frequency group.
13000 -- 20th monster in Common frequency group (20 * 650)
25601 -- 1st monster in Very Rare frequency group (30*650 + 20*200 + 30*70 + 1*30).
6. This method means that if you happen to have many more Very Rare creatures than Common creatures then you will have a much higher chance of getting something that is Very Rare.

Roll the frequency and then the monster for said frequency:

1. Total up the 'weights' of the frequencies. (650+200+70+30+5+1=956).
2. Roll a random number ranging from 1 to the above number (956).
3. Chose your frequency based on the roll and the frequency 'weights'.

Roll	Frequency
1-650	Common
651-850	Uncommon
851-920	Rare
921-950	Very Rare
951-955	Very Very Rare
956	Unique

4. Count how many creatures exist with that frequency and which meet the chosen Terrain, Climate, Campaign, and Plane.
5. Roll a random number from 1 to the 'Count' above.  This number indicates which creature is chosen.
6. For example: You first roll a 901 (which indicates a Rare creature).  Then you count the number of Rare creatures and you get 100.  Then you roll a random number from 1 to 100 and get 67.  Thus the creature you rolled is the 67th Rare monster which meets the chosen Terrain, Climate, Campaign, and Plane.
7. This method means that if you have a lot of Common creatures but very few Very Rare creatures that it may be more probable that a particular Very Rare creature is rolled than a particular Common creature.

Set Frequency
This button automatically adjusts the frequencies of certain creatures.

• This will set the frequency of any creature with a name matching Avatar and a source of Legends and Lore and a current Frequency of Very Rare to Very Very Rare.  It
• This will also set the frequency of any creature with a name matching 'Hero' or 'Villian', a source of Legends and Lore, and a current frequency of Very Rare to Unique.
