It starts with a cover, ToC, intro and credits. (4 pages)Next it jumps right into the new templates. (104 pages)Below is a list of all the templates. Each template also has at least one sample creature with complete stat block and lore DC checks. The templates go anywhere from a -50% CR rating to a +3 CR rating.Accursed Creature TemplateAware Arcana Creature TemplateBetrayer Creature TemplateBloody Maw Creature TemplateBody Jumper Creature TemplateBoundfury Creature TemplateCivilized Creature TemplateDarkseed Creature TemplatesDistortion Creature TemplateDrachenchor Creature TemplateDreaded Creature TemplateEarthbound Creature TemplateEldritch Spawn TemplateEntropy Infused Creature TemplateEternal Creature TemplateExemplar Creature TemplateHatemonger Creature TemplateHavenfury Creature TemplateIrresistible Creature TemplateJagannath Creature TemplateJaunting Creature TemplateMythic Creature TemplatePhalanx Creature TemplatePhlogiston Construct Creature TemplatePositive Energy Creature TemplateProtector Creature TemplateRitefury Creature TemplateRune-Carved Creature TemplateTax Collector Creature TemplateTrickster Creature TemplateUnsighted Creature TemplateWeapon Construct Creature TemplateIt finishes with a page of two tables that list templates by CR level and a table listing all the new monsters by CR rating. There is a total of 34 fully stated monsters in the book, each using one of the new templates and include DC lore checks and history.Closing thoughts. While this is a template book, something to throw on a monster to surprise your players with. It is also in a way a new monster book as well. The artwork is black and white and ranges from fair to very good. There is not a lot to say about the book in detail. The templates all look well done some I was meh about, but that was more for I just didn't care for the concept than cause it was poorly done. Many where pretty cool as well and I am sure each buyer will have some they like, some they love and some they don't care for. So what is my rating? I am giving this a 4.5 star, it is a good product that gives exactly what it claims to do, but I also wasn't blown away with all the template concepts. So if you like templates to keep your players on their toes then this is a good pickup.</blockquote>
