"Ne-go-she-a-shun?, huh, what do that word mean?" ;)

Exactly how does one pronounce "Menzoberasklsnsdfsldkfnsdglkj"?

Ya, Me to, But like I said I think the whole CR idea was wacky. I killed more players useing the CR guide lines then I did by ignoreing it in 3E Maybe so, Maybe so- But, I'd wager that for every GM who ridigly stuck to the Encounter guide lines for for any editon , there is one who threw it...

Who's crying, JERK.

Heh, I guess some one did bother with that stuff then , that sort of thing much like CRs in 3E was to much like a Formula, to me. Common sense usually guided what I hit my PC's with....:P

Um, no......., I am asking it to be more then a "Menu of level approprite monsters, for a level X "challenge" And thats why I question its over all utility.

Ah the FF, I had even less use for that then the MMII.... And a single L2 causing a 1L party wipe? , Har!

Precisely, Mourn is recalling some source I had little, to nothing to do with. Prehaps the MMII?

I am not sure that is entirely true. But then again, if I ever knew I am not now sure what TPK refers to. 1e put no restriction on where and when PC's would/ could encounter Drow. With the exception of the 1E MM, which mentioned them in passing....there was VoD I suppose, but I never...

Right. That in and off it's self was the best part of 3E (okay maybe not THE best part, but it was a high point). And it was a lot off work. And 4E seems just on the cusp of making it easier.... I have yet to find the time to find out how hard leveling and De-leveling Monsters is......if it...

Well, I tend to focus on Human(oid) races in RPG's, they are more interesting to me. It's easier to give a Human(oid) more complicated motives/mistaken agendas then it is a "monster"- I amnot saying it can't be done, just that it is probably a bit more of a stretch, getting players to care what...

I get what you are saying, and that actually is a pretty neat (but gruesome trick). But my point remains. It is pretty clear that the goal of the 4E MM is provide monsters for 1-30th and Drow were assigned one of the 11th-15th slots. Personally I would have like a little more of a variety...

But what about a drow Manicurist or Hairstylist...because that works better....Bakers make pies, and "evil" gothy types surely can not apprciate pie :P

Yes, this is obvious,. they want people to be able to look in and see that at Level X, mosters A,B and C appropriate challenges. I just wish few more examples of each type, rather then segregating everything by levels in such an obvious manner/. I don't think that is it at all. If by adding...

Well that is the 1 million $ question now isn't it? Will be Quanity or Quality? Or Both? Again, it's the nature of the beast-I certain won't begrudge WotC/Hasbro either. TSR set the pace, with it's hundereds of "guides", and it proved profitable enough.... But then I will in the end, be the...

Oops. Double post. Sorry

Clearly the lack of options is a result of WotC/Hasbro's marketing strategy. 3.0/3.5 proved there was virtually no limit tot the amount of supplemental meterial people would buy. No that's not entirely fair. Hell, TSR knew it.... So, we will soon begin to see the avalanche of...

Well, the problem here is both of you are using some "official" mythos...I am guessing probably FR. And thats fine, if you are using that. But what if I don't want to use that setting . What if in my world "Drow" are emasculated fascist wussies with a chip on their shoulder, what if their...

Oh, I agree. I think the basic lay out is great. Again it's just my own feeling, that a "Basic Stat Block in addition to Applied Templates" would have gone miles toward making my game (if I were to run one) even easier...

DING! DING! DING! We have a Winnah! I do believe you are correct. I think that is really at the root of what is irking me, about this editions MM. The Assumption that at Level n , you should be fighting creatures A, B, and C . While I understand what you are saying, it defies any sort of...
