Monster Manual 2...super rant!!!

[muhcashin]

I just bought the book and I realized that there are too many Undead or Construct monsters. It seems to be that the writers didn't have enough imagination or inspiration to find a decent origin for each monster so they made them constructs or undead created by either a necromancer or a some wizard. Come on, a golem made of dragon parts? We already got enough golems, next time (if there is a next time) make NEW monsters, not just a bunch of stats that have no reason of existance besides that fact that they were sired by some mad wizard.

Please don't put chainmail monsters either. I paid 41.00$ (that's canadian bucks.) and I expected to get new monsters.

Lucky you, there's a web enhancement out for MM2 already with EVEN MORE half-golems!

How many Fey creatures are in the book?

Was the book shrinkwrapped in the store? If not, then, well, too bad. I bought the book after having flipped through the pages and actually looking at what I was considering as a purchase. It's not as if there isn't the art for the monsters on the Wizard's site.

I would play a fiddle for you, however, it is so small, I seem to have misplaced it.

Uh..with the exception of the conversions, you did get new monsters unless your MM2 is different than everyone elses.

Is there also a Rockman to go with the Paperman and the Scissorman?

Just thought I'd pop in and drop the fact that buy.com is selling the MM2 at $19 US and free shipping.

I think that the Rockman will be in the Web Enhancement.
