[QUOTE="dave2008, post: 8361159, member: 83242"] Well we have seen less than a dozen of 300+ monsters, so I wouldn't jump to conclusions. However, what I have seen is generally better than in the MM from a stat block perspective alone. The dragons in particular are a real upgrade. I personally don't need anymore narrative regarding the encounter groups, but I will point out that the 5e MM doesn't even provide encounter groups. So that seems you've been given a $10 and your asking for $20. Sure. I love monster books and have all the WotC and many 3PP books. In terms of a combination of lore and monster mechanics, this is the best 5e monster book I have seen. Now IIRC, they are recreating all the monsters from the MM. Some we find of less value just because of that, but I not me. And I get making your own, I have over 200+ custom[URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/5e-updates-monstrous-compendium.672508/'] 5e monsters[/URL] I've posted on these forums and I generally like them better (but I am biased ;)). However, it is a question of doing the work as well. I could be wrong, but I think that will be in the core book, not the bestiary. [/QUOTE]
