[QUOTE="PatriotofKarrnath, post: 6860635, member: 6838032"] [b]3 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Monster Manual[/b] only 2 issues I had with this book, and to me they were major, 1 price, this book is overpriced, by a lot. Maybe I am a cheapskate, but some of the other books I have bought for similar prices were much more for the price. Second, this is a radical departure from 4th edition and I think I would have loved more "beginning" type monsters, so far have seen no indicator of a MM2, so having a bunch of high end critters was really of not much use, yeah they are cool, but when designing an adventure, having 3/4 + of the book unusable, that did not give me a warm fuzzy. That being said, the monsters that are in there are better than what I had in 4th, though I think that mechanic is better. the art is completely subjective, some pics I really enjoyed, others I thought were gak. drop it by 5-10 dollars, woulda been a 4, add some more "use right now" monsters woulda been a 4, do both, 5.
