Message: <blockquote data-quote="GVDammerung" data-source="post: 4103374" data-attributes="member: 33060">Pardon if someone else has already noted much of the following.  Some brave soul has compiled a list of known 4e monsters here - <a href="http://www.zipworld.com.au/~hong/dnd/Monsters%20&%20More%20(4th%20Edition).pdf" target="_blank">http://www.zipworld.com.au/~hong/dnd/Monsters & More (4th Edition).pdf</a> A really strong trend emerges. Witness: Dwarf - Warlord Elf - Archer Gnoll - Clawfighter, Demonic Scourge, Huntmaster, Marauder Goblin - Picador, Sharpshooter Hobgoblin - Archer, Warcaster, Soldier Human - Bandit, Mage, Berserker, Guard Kobold - Archer, Dragonshield, Skirmisher, Minion, Slinger, Wyrmpriest Each of the more common races are being given multiple individual monster entries based upon function or activity. The list above is only what has been released to this point and is thus partial. It takes no imagination to think that the 4e monster manuals might be filled with literally dozens of variations on each racial or monster theme. For example, the above list sports six sorts of kobolds. While the dwarf and elf entries sport only one sort, it is easy enough to imagine a Dwarven Rock Fighter, Dwarven Mountain Ranger, Dwaven Shield Warrior, Dwarven Nosepicker etc. Or Elven Forest Friend, Elven Forest Runner, Elven Forest Ranger, Elven Butt Scratcher etc. What a brilliant design move for 4e! Imagine how easy it will be to fill monster manuals! Just think of the money that will need to spend to keep up! If you add another adjective, things can only get better - Red Dwarven Nosepicker! Green Elven Butt Scratcher. As opposed to the black, white and puce versions. Just amazing design.</blockquote>
