A lot of it was contrived or clashed with my setting's lore.The worst, though, were the monsters who were "Star Trek aliens" - "They're just like humans, but they have this one-trick culture! And ... uh ... blue horns!" Those "yet another humanoid" races wasted quite a lot of pages in my old MMs.With 4e's minimalist statblocks, it's really easy to re-skin monsters to suit my needs. I already have plenty of flavor -- the hard work, IMHO, is testing out the mechanical balance of these critters. That's the work I'm willing to pay someone else to do.Cheers, -- N</blockquote>
