5 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Monster Manual
This may well be the finest Monster Manual released to date for Dungeons & Dragons. As one of the trio of core books for 5th Edition D&D if you're looking to run the new edition you're most likely going to be picking this book anyways but I still can't recommend it highly enough. Overall the art is wonderful and the writeups for the numerous creatures found within are packed full of ideas to build adventures & even campaigns around including the new Regional Effects some creatures possess. Mechanically the addition of Legendary & Lair actions make certain monsters stand out for especially memorable encounters.
