[QUOTE="KDLadage, post: 2008056, member: 88"] [b]updated on 22-NOV-02[/b] A fun collection of creatures. In fact, most of them are a lot of fun. The big problem with them, however, is that they are far, far from accurate, as far as adherence to the rules is concerned (some creatures have more or less skill points, feats or what have you; many have stats they should not have, such as undead with a CON score; the challenge ratings are just plain wrong, however there is online errata available for this) -- but I am prepared to give the book some slack here, seeing as how it was released before the Monster Manual was. The layout is easy to read and very easy to follow (one creature per page, creatures always start at the top of a page, etc). In this fact, this book is far superior to the Monster Manual. It is lighter in content than the MM -- but I find myself using it more than the MM these days. Very good -- worth every penny. I love this book. However, considering the poor editing of the book, and the relative quality that one has to compare this book to, I have to say that the book rates only average (to slightly above). I dearly hope that they produce a second, better edited version so that I can revise this review once again. [/QUOTE]
