[QUOTE="Dr_Ruminahui, post: 5213460, member: 81104"] Depends on what kind of monsters you want to face - sure, there is a lot of paragon and epic stuff in there, but there is some neat/useful heroic monsters too, for example: For clarity: low heroic = lvls 1-4, mid = 4-6, upper 7-10 -ish Apes - mid heroic Arcanian [an undead wizard] - upper heroic Behemoths [dinosaurs, 2x tricertops, 1x pteradactal] - upper heroic Cambions [half-devils] - upper heroic Cave Fishers [ambush monsters] - low heroic Chitine [drow abominations] - mid/upper heroic Craud [giant crabs] - low heroic Dark Ones [shadow halflings] - mid heroic Demons - though most are higher tiers, there is one that is low heroic, and one upper heroic Devils - as per demons, but one is upper heroic Dragons - have some mid and upper heroic elite versions Dread Warriors [bound undead] - mid heroic Elementals - have low heroic versions Foulspawn - 2 are upper heroic, one of which is a minon Frogs - low heroic Gargoyles - upper heroic Ghouls - mid heroic Gnolls - mid heroic Gremlins - mid/upper heroic versions... And that's just half the book... so yeah, there's a bunch of heroic stuff in there. Myself, as an upper heroic DM (PCs just hit 8th), the thing I like about it is that the upper level monsters gave me a better idea of where things might go plotwise as the PCs climb the tiers... really had no idea what I would do for epic before. Now I do, and can start laying the groundwork/plot hooks/foreshadowing now. [/QUOTE]
