[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 8277897, member: 2209"] I got it as a birthday gift today so I immediately went to the monsters. Still disappointed the Brain in a Jar can only charm person 3/day and compulsion once, but that's the same as in other 5e sources. A lot of CR 8 monsters. I like that the Loup Garou is a big CR 13. A big chunky CR werewolf. If this is the one and done horror sourcebook I would have preferred a bunch more monsters too. The section is just too short to be the "go here for your horror monster collection" the way the ravenloft monster books were in 3e and 2e. The greater star spawn is CR 21. I laughed that the lesser is CR 19. Neat combining of the dullahan and headless horseman undead concepts. Decent concise entries on domains, only skimmed a few though. The lesser ones have just a paragraph each. Skimmed Falkovnia and Har Akir, it looks like Drakov is a straight gender flip retcon, not a continuation with a female descendant/successor. Har Akir is mostly the same, The village is still the population center (at 3,000), but the mummies are actively in charge and Ankhetop is now looking for a piece of his lost soul. Making it look like he is searching for an ultimate lost treasure could be a potentially cool twist reveal if players don't read the entry. The paragraph on travel between domains says there are Vistani families, adventurers traveling, individuals going blindly into mists, and some talismans. It basically says significant trade and domain warfare are impossible. Don't think about most food supplies. [/QUOTE]
