MM II Identity Parade

You typed so much, and yet your response still remains "I'm so glad Wizards supports MY playing style! HAH HAH THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU!"

Once again I must ask: How would support for playing a non-good party take away from your good party?

Well, I guess you could argue that additional ressources would have to be devoted to making evil monsters and evil powers for players (or at least evil variants for some powers/class abilities). Maybe there had to be written some dungeon master's advice for DM's wishing to run evil campaigns.

Not that I see any of the above as a problem either way. While I doubt I will be running an evil campaign, I would welcome any material needed to do so.

Yes, I specifically said that.

HAH HAH THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU!"

I did not say that. You have read that into my response twice now.

I see no reason to defend a position I never took.

Since you are so worked up about this, support an evil party/campaign by making a 3PP product, why don't you? You sound like you have the enthusiasm for it. I won't buy or download it, of course, but it might make the game better for some people.

If I were to answer ProfessorCirno's question, I would probably say this, but no need to answer it.

Stop hijacking, please. That means no more alignment discussion in this thread.

Getting back on track, I just want to say that the MM2 is absolutely brilliant. Although I am wondering why the centaurs get the potential to do unlimited damage.

Any more information on the insane noble?

What is he by the way? Elite Soldier?

He is one of the few misses in the book IMO.

EDIT: Couldnt find my book earlier, but he is a lvl 23 skirmisher

One thing I think that is very dumb is the Table of Contents.

Look at the first few posts; that Is the table of contents. The way this is different is that, instead of listing every monster group name, some will instead get ONE specific one of those types listed.

For instance, instead of just having Demon and Devil and the page number, it says "Assassin Devil" or "Bloodseep Demon". Instead of Vine, it lists Ambush Vine and then the page number.

I can't understand why they did that, and think it's just sloppy and stupid.

So is that an index style listing? Or do the monster show up in that page order?

No, they do it out of page order. Purely by alphabeticalness.

For instance, you'll have "Windfury" in the Ws, but the monster is an elemental, and thus under the Elemental heading, and thus in the Es, at the beginning of the dang book. The Ambush Vine is under "Vine, Predatory", thus at the back of the book.

And it's not an index (because indexes list everything); the Bloodseep demon is the only Demon mentioned on the Table of Contents; the Ambush Vine the only vine, etc.

I just have to wonder what crack the layout guy was smoking when he made this thing.
