[QUOTE="rknop, post: 7748020, member: 20176"] Interesting that Ed Greenwood complained about the name of the Caryatid Columns, because that's actually a name from history : [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caryatid[/url] I picked up the Fiend Folio when it was pretty new. I was in a great spot at the time -- an 11 (or 12?) year-old in a D&D campaign with college students. (As I was older, I realize what a huge favor they were doing to let me be in that game.) One of the other guys in this campaign, when driving me over, was telling me about this book. At first, I thought he was talking about "Deities & Demigods", which was the "fourth" AD&D book. When I realized what it was, I got it. I used it a fair bit in the campaign I ran with a friend for many years. There are definitely some misses in the book. I remember my friend saying, "oh, no, it's not another one of those dippy Fiend Folio monsters, is it?" [/QUOTE]
