Do let me know, if you would, when you get a chance to test them out. I love creating monsters and I'm really hoping the guidelines they have will produce usable monsters that line up with CR expectations, because then I can go crazy on it.
Edit: Can someone please tell me how to disable email...
For those of you who have used the book to create monsters, how well does it work? Is it pretty effective at matching CR to expectations? Is the overall process pretty good, with solid guidelines for abilities and powers and everything?
