IME the DMG is the easiest one to get the Alt Cover for. I'm not sure why, or if it is different in your neck of the woods.

Every FLGS, at least according to Google and when I click on the links, is sold out of em or ya got PLENTY annoying idiots on eBay thinking they are the next rockafella by sellig em for scalper prices.

The one place I found it online(WiiPlayGames West), with six copies left, will only take PayPal. But PayPal doesn't want to work on their website AND their server sucks and is down all the time

I'm trying to avoid driving all over Lolth's green earth to nap a copy.

Giant Vulture is a monstrosity? I know they’ve changed some giant animals to celestials, but this one feels especially strange to me.

They are working very hard to keep big flyers off the wild shape and polymorph lists.

This feels like the wrong knob to turn on this. Instead of having to police every monster entry for the rest of the edition, maybe just fix those two abilities instead.

It’s intelligent but also evil. So I guess they didn’t feel Celestial worked.
