Monster vault: I has it

[ArcaneSpringboard]

Anyone getting the feeling they're starting to compress the monster levels a bit? I'm loving the fact that the Beholder is only 9th level.

Thanks for listing the first half of the monsters, Fiery Dragon, and for answering so many questions. I have one question. Are there no drow in the book, or are the included under "Elf"?

Does it have rules for creating monsters? Are those rules **anywhere** in Essentials? Has DMGp184 been recreated for this edition?

I *think* those rules will be in the DM's Kit, but I don't really know for sure.

Not in this book.

In the DM's book, there's the stuff on building an encounter with monster roles and such, but doesn't look like there's any monster building guidelines.

The DM's Kit has rules for building encounters, but no rules for customizing or creating monsters.

What is the quality f the book? Like the Heroes pair, or the DMG book? I have heard some troubles about it.
