MMI
Level 21-25: 49 monsters
Level 26-30: 24 monsters
Level 31+: 1 monster

MMII
Level 21-25: 34 monsters
Level 26-30: 14 monsters
Level 31+: 2 monsters

Very, very disappointing. :(

MM1 has almost 50% more epic monsters than MMII.

Still getting the book but that just sucks. Looks like its up to me again.

Hate to trouble you again, but I am just curious where the Level 26-30 monsters are coming from...

Ancient Iron Dragon = L26 Solo
Ancient Silver Dragon = L27 Solo?
Ancient Adamantine Dragon = L28 Solo
Ultimate Beholder Tyrant = L29 Solo
Ancient Gold Dragon = L30 Solo?

The other 9 spaces, are they filled by:

Arch-Angel, Primordial Colossus, Exarchs of Demogorgon (2), Eldritch Giant & Titan...?
 

Ooh, ooh, Dice4hire, I have some questions![.quote]

What level are the Spriggans?

There are 4 of them. 8,7,6,and 8.

What's the level and role of the following:
Barghests 4 brute and 7 controller
Ambush Vine 16 elite controller
Bloodthorn Vine 2 soldier
Greenvise Vine 7 soldier
Umbral Sprite Storm 4 controller

What's a Wood Woad?

It is a plant avenger, A bit of flavor "A creature hat intrudes into a forest protected by Wood Woads is held responsible for the actions of all previous intruders." Cool!!!!

A Fell Taint?

Creatures form the far realm, though it does not say that directly.

I notice quite a few things with the term "Shard" (Death Shard, Storm Shard, Prismatic shard). What are Shards?

Where elemental chaos meets evil, crystal entities are formed called shards.

Any low level devils/demons (aside from the Dretch)?

There are 4 demons in the 5-8 level range, and only one is a minion. I'm happy about that.
There is only one devil, a level 3 minion.

How Badass is Demogorgon?

He is pretty nasty, but I am not a great judge. Two abilities I like. He gets two initiatives, and a full set of actions on each, which is brutal. He also has a power called inescapable grasp with range FIFTY!!!! that teleports a hit target within his reach.

Don't let him see you coming or he'll grab one of the party to play with, 50 squares away from the rest of the party. Nasty.

What's your favorite monster?

Not sure yet, HAve not read a ton of it yet.
 

I'll summarize as I think I am saying too much.

26 are: A deva, one of Demogorgon's followers, a demon, an iron dragon, an iron golem and a winter wolf (spirit)

27 are: Copper dragon and retreiver

28 are: A Primordial colossus, and admantium dragon and another of Demogorgon's followers.

29 are: Beholder and silver dragon

30 is: gold dragon

32 is : Dagon

34 is : Demogorgon
 

SWEET. All of those (well, except for the Ambush vine) are in line with one of my groups. All of it sounds fairly feyish. Exquisite. Wood Woad sounds cool too.

Shame about the devil though.

Where elemental chaos meets evil
Like on a blind date? :D
 

There are a ton of nice fey in this book. I've never liked fey and never used them in previous editions, but 4E is starting to make me like them.

As for the shard thing, I see it more like both of them wearing bags over their heads in bed. lol

The Will-O-Wisp is a real standout. A small fey lurker that has a compulsion ability (pull 3), can life drain to get back hps as an encounter ability, and can teleport and extinguish their light to hide again. Very nice flavor on those buggers.
 


Metallic dragons are all unaligned (You likely know my opinions on this), are no different than chromatic dragons (WotC said they wanted to make metallics different) and an insane noble is just insane and has no connection to the far realm. Being crazy apparently means a huge power boost.
