D&D 5E Rename the Monster Manual

[Bohandas]

How about "The Demon Directory"

Personally, I'm fond of calling it a Creature Compendium but the Sage Advice Compendium kinda steps on the name.

Eh the sage advice compendium is less important, rename it. Doesn’t really matter if it has a bland name.

I just think calling all creatures that aren’t PCs “monsters” makes D&D look goofy. In an embarrassing way, not an endearing way.

Opponents of pertinent significance? OOPS?

Is it also "embarrassing" that the game is called dungeons and dragons? I mean, it is kind of a goofy name.

I think a lot of things about D&D are goofy, I still enjoy playing.

Nah. Nothing goofy about Dungeons and Dragons.

Compendium of the Living and the Living Impaired, volume .101.

But that excludes the never living Constructs

In all seriousness, a true "monster manual" would be just a list of people who leave their shopping carts in the parking lot instead of returning them to the collection spot.

Taken.

Casual Shopper
Medium Respectable friendly brother (formerly known as Monstrosities), chaotic evil

Actions:

Incite rage: the Casual Shopper shopping habits cause onlookers to be at disadvantage on any action except hitting them as long as they stay within the shop.
Rush hours: removing a casual shopper won't solve the problem as two more casual shopper will spawn on the next round.

I just did that about half an hour ago. Why should I do the "Lot Attendants" job?

To be fair, some people have mobility issues that make returning the cart difficult or inconvenient. For everyone else, though...
