[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9593806, member: 6801845"] I think it's great tool even if you're only getting it for the MM. It's easy to filter for types of monster by CR, type, and so on (see below) when I'm planning things out. Want a medium sized undead in the CR 4-6 range but you're not sure of all the options? It's a filter away. If you decide to get other books like MotM, your searches include those as well. When running the game, I just run them from my laptop and any spells they cast are just a click away (although of course that requires the source book). I really don't know why people find it clunky. It's not perfect and search could be better but if I don't want to look up something in a book and I think google will be better I can still use that. Or I just grab my book, but remember you get an electronic copy of the book as well that you can read through just like a physical copy. I use DDB almost exclusively, while I still get the physical copy of the book but honestly I end up using them only rarely. The [I]only[/I] think I don't like is that it includes all the books they have, not just the ones I own. I have a workaround for that though - open up the page with no filters, add the sources that you want and then copy the URL and save it somewhere. Every time I look for monsters I then start by pasting the url into my browser and the source books are already limited. I find it well worth my money. [SPOILER="I have a lot of books, including 3PP.
