[QUOTE="Echohawk, post: 2972732, member: 9849"] I don't think the MM IV is [I]that[/I] bad. In fact, I really like many of the new creatures and the expanded entries covering sample encounters, ecology and lore. I'm an unapologetically lazy DM, and these expanded monster entries tend to make my job easier. I also don't mind the new stat block format, although it still needs a bit of tweaking, the current version has been too simplified in places. I'm probably in a minority in that I find the classed creatures useful too (since, as already mentioned, I'm a lazy DM), but I'd have preferred to get those in a different book -- the "Big Book of Encounters" or something. I don't particularly like having the classed creatures taking up valuable space in a Monster Manual. As for the Spawn... well, I have a soft spot for them simply because they appear in the [I]Red Hand of Doom[/I], and that's my current favourite D&D product, so it's hard to hate the spawn completely.
