[KoK] Two free monster previews!

[Mark Plemmons]

The point of using a consistent game mechanic is that it creates a degree of consistency in how the end result works. It reduces guesswork and keeps everyone from having to playtest everything several times just to have any idea of whether or not it "works". Just as I don't expect everyone to utilize perfect grammar in casual speech, I don't expect every homebrew monster to pay utmost attention to game mechanics. Then again, I can live with homebrew monsters being half-baked. On the other hand, I do have a higher expectation from a professional product though, and I don't think there's anything unreasonable or dogmatic about that.

Nope, nothing unreasonable at all!

FYI, the final monster will be slightly different from the one posted above. I'm at home, and don't have the info with me, but I believe the Acidic Corpse is now Su, not Ex, and has a saving throw of 16. Also, I think the radius of the Aura of Hopelessness is now 30 feet. There may also be one or two other minor tweaks.

The question is do they want the help?

Dude, how is that even a question?

Any groups interested in playtesting our products should email eric@kenzerco.com. (Though he'll be out of the office until late next week.)

Great to hear! This is one I'll be sure to check out when it hits the shelves.
