Post things you discover in the new books here. Also comment on your overall or specific impressions.
One thing that annoyed me about previous Monster Manuals was the plethora of attacks given to, for example, Sahuagin. In one round, they could bite, claw twice, and then rake twice with (I presume) their rear claws. Five attacks? Just because they have five extremeties? Why doesn't that logic hold up for humans, too? I have a head, two fists, and two feet; why can't I attack five times in a full attack?
The new Monster Manual, if you check Sahaugin, now reduces a full attack to either a bite and a claw, or a trident and a claw, or two claws; that makes a lot more sense in my book.
