So I'm cooling on the idea.It wasn't the contents I was interested, but more the format in which the monsters were presented.I have studied it in detail and while certainly superior, it still looks a tad problematic.1. The only feat listed in Power Attack. I'm not sure if they have ignored all other feats or whether the monsters in question simply don't have any others because they are so low level. Monsters with feats = <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />2. Spell-like Abilities for monsters = <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />3. The Special Abilities section seems okay when you have 1-3 abilities. The monsters in my epic bestiary average about 10-15. I'm guessing I'd need an entire extra stat-block column just for special abilities alone maybe two columns in some cases.4. Weirdly, because of the stat-block design, the monsters with longer stats get smaller art.All that said, I still like the cleaner format.It might be interesting to have a 2 page breakdown as follows:Page 1, Left hand Column: Format akin to the shown layout but with the illustration replaced by a small scale silhouette with medium size humanoid.Page 1, Right hand Column: Tabled format detailing the Special Abilities.Page 2, Left Hand Column: Monsters Descriptive text, Ecological (monster)/Historical (NPC) text, Combat Tactics and Adventure Ideas.Page 2, Right Hand Column: Monster Illustration.Thanks very much for the link...although in fairness I had investigated for myself and found the same preview about an hour ago. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" />Well I did a quick recon and from what I could glean (of Bestiary 3), the monster selection looks like a lot of pants. I could well be wrong (as I didn't find a full contents list) so feel free to tempt and tease my curiousity with some of your favourites from that book. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
