[QUOTE="Blacksad, post: 2008067, member: 1359"] "Mighty Heroes Deserve Wicked Foes" It's a 96 pages book, in this 10 pages are taken from the introduction of the Monster Manual, this leave 86 pages full of monster. But for the listed price ( US$21.95) you have probably asked yourself : is this book for me? Here, I'll try to answer this. If you are a DM in the Forgotten Realms, this is a must have, each monster has a "In the realm" entry wich gives information specific to the realms, such as who is responsible for the creation of the monster, who use it, where does it lives and might gives aventures seeds to some DM, and it contains info on specific realms monster like baneguard, sharn and the like (wich can be use in just any campaign). If you like Planescape or Outsider, you'll find the missing abishaï and genasi (15 outsider in all). If you need new PC races, there is at least 10 monster wich you can use (like aarakocra, a flying humanoïd), some could be used without hurting play balance, other needs to be considered 1 level higher. If you need new monster in the mid-level (1 to 12) the CR of most of the monster is within this range (except brown, deep, shadow, fang and song dragon :) ) and you'll find new giant, beholder and golem, plus addendum for the ghost, lich and werebeast template (and some new template : Revenant wich I feel has the most beautifull picture). But if you are in the high-level (like some realms characters are supposed to be) it might not cover your needs. And for those who feel being stolen with missing illustration in the Monstrous Manual, in Monsters of Faerun there is a picture for each of the monster, templates included, but perhaps the picture for the wemic is not the best.
