[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 4105289, member: 710"] Well, they need to find a happy middle, I guess. I don't think we'll see 10 write-ups for each individual humanoid. I think most of the time, we will see all the essential roles covered, and that's it. How many pages is the book to have? 288? Let's pretend it where 200 - with the proposed two page spread per monster, this gives us 100 "unique" monsters. I really wouldn't want to go back to more then one individual monster per page, but maybe that's just because I still remember the Oriental Adventures encounter with a Giant that lead to a Total Party Kill just because the DM wandered off into the wrong row or column. *shudder* ;) I don't know if I need more monster ecology or more monster stats in my Monster Manual. Though I know I often played "themed" adventures in the sense that their was one common type of foe (Goblin, Giant, Spiders, whatever...) instead of a wild mix of foes... [/QUOTE]
