[MongooseMatt]

The latest release in our Expert Player's Guides series, all 256 page hardbacks priced at the low cost of just $19.95, will be appearing in your local stores this week - Epic Monsters.

Doing what it says on the cover, this is a comprehensive monster compilation, with each creature designed specifically for Epic level play. Compiled by Mark Gedak from the best Open Content sources, you will be able to terrify your players with the likes of the relatively humble Hoary Steed and Mouse Lord, to beasts such as the CR 50 Devastation Beetle and CR60+ Prismatic and Force Dragons!

At just $19.95, you really canot go wrong if you are looking for challenges to keep high-level characters on their toes. More information can be found at;

Um, the book sounds neat, but the Hoary Steed, Devastation Beetle, and the two dragons are from the Epic Level Handbook.

Or you can see them from the online SRD here:

How many monsters are there in the book that are not from the ELH?

I think their Expert Guide series is basically a set of books that take some new, and mostly OGL stuff and brings it together, like their old Ultimate series of books. At least this is what I gathered from the earlier books in the series. I need to look closer at the Renegade Wizards book again.

Oh, I know it's mostly/all from OGL sources, but if it has 100 monsters, and 65 of those are from the ELH, then the question for me is, do I buy the book to have 35 new epic level monsters?

So, has anyone gotten this book yet? Can we get a breakdown of the epic monsters in it? If 95% of the book's creatures are from the Epic Level Handbook, Legends of Avadnu, and The Immortal's Handbook Epic Bestiary Volume One, then there's little need for me to get this.

Yes, I'd like to know as well before I think about picking up the pdf.
