Spiteful Dwarf
First Post
I'm a little disappointed so far w. the WOTC official adventures. They're supposed to be the building blocks of taking a character from 1st level to 20th, right? They're supposed to represent all of the great stuff that D&D 3E has to offer, right?
So why do they insist on introducing brand-new (and in my opinion, weakly designed) monsters in adventures that are supposed to showcase the coolness of the monster manual?
I love Sunless Citadel and Forge of Fury, but I was extremely dissatisfied w. The Standing Stone and the other adventures that have come out so far, mainly due to their adventure-specific monsters.
Have you looked at the Faux humans of Standing Stone? That aberration in Speaker in Dreams?
I know that some will argue that even the greatest adventures made up new monsters for the PCs to fight, but come on! A moonCALF!? Those batpeople from Deep Horizon? I can only hope that Lord of the Iron Fortress and that other Bruce Cordell adventure can make up for the others...
(P.S: If you need a good dungeon crawl for 3rd lvl PCs, I heartily recommend Forge of Fury. It's really good...)
