Gathering the MM4 Monster List

Four stat blocks, two errors, the people from WotC are fulfilling their quota.

Yes.

so basically, they relate directly to Tharizun, and indirectly to the Princes?

I haven't gone hunting yet, though I saw the discussion about the bastard sword non-error. What errors do you see?

Also, I only count 73 new creatures. The rest are either classed MM creatures, advanced versions of other creatures, or sample templated creatures.

It looks bad, but the inclusion of new demons and yugoloths keeps it as "must buy" status for me. :\

You know, the more I read about this book, the less I want it. :\

WOOHOO!!!

There must be a dozen monsters in there that I could actually use! Heck, there might even be 2 or 3 I wouldn't just template something else to create!

There could even be 1 new, fresh idea!

That's worth AT MINIMUM a buck-fifty...but hey, look, it's in hardback!

i'm not sure, but i think i detect sarcasm in that post.


and, i think, in this one as well.

Seems like I was a bit hasty in my assessment. I also made the "bastard sword non-error" error.
The "other" error was the dwarven ancestor's jump skill.
It should be Jump +8 (8 Ranks, +6 Str, -6 Speed)

The stat blocks of the wizened elder and the redspawn firebelcher, seem to be flawless.
With only one out of six stat blocks being flawed, the wotc team actually seems to have done a good job with the stats.

Except for the spawn, I also liked the creatures spoiled so far.
Nevertheless, I'm still disappointed about the inclusion of classed monsters.

Yes, that Jump modifier is completely wrong, no matter how you slice it. And regarding your last sentence, you are not alone.

Well, hey, the art looks nice.

i heard there were some complaints about that, too, though.
