[QUOTE="Gez, post: 1980209, member: 1328"] Number of pages this would require: [B]Full monster books:[/B] Monster Manual 1: 320 Monster Manual 2: 224 Monster Manual 3: 224 Fiend Folio: 224 Monsters of Faerûn: 96 Savage Species: 224 [B]Other books with monsters:[/B] [i]Player's Options[/i] Complete Warrior: 3 Complete Arcane: 12 Races of Stone: 6 Planar Handbook: 27 Arms & Equipment Guide: 1 Miniatures Handbook: 28 [i]Setting Options[/i] Frostburn: 55 Oriental Adventures: 55 Deities & Demigods: 5 Manual of the Planes: 42 Book of Vile Darkness: 18 Book of Exalted Deeds: 34 Expanded Psionics Handbook: 34 Epic Level Handbook: 76 Draconomicon: 54 Libris Mortis: 34 [i]Forgotten Realms Line[/i] Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting: 8 Magic of Faerûn: 9 Faiths & Pantheons: 1 The Silver Marches: 5 The Shining South: 14 Serpent Kingdoms: 30 Underdark: 21 Unapproachable East: 23 [i]Eberron line[/i] Eberron Campaign Setting: 27 Sharn, City of Tower: 8 [i]Miscellaneous Settings[/i] Ghostwalk: 20 Dragonlance Campaign Setting: 22 That's nearly 2000 pages. Granted, you can probably reduce it by 25--33% because of the repeated stuff (like glossaries, reprinted critters, etc.) and by cutting stuff they would probably not reprint (like the Shadowland Oni in Oriental Adventures). Even with a smaller font, and smaller illos (for shame!) you would still have at least 1000 pages. So, to be more manageable, you would have to use a larger format than the standard for D&D books. Like one of those huge book you see in fantasy stuff, half as high as its reader, that is chained on its lectern... [/QUOTE]
