[QUOTE="avin, post: 4587252, member: 6762"] The first paragraph is the generic description for aberrations, so it's unfair include it as the monster itself. Now let's check 3.5 Astral Stalker: [INDENT][I]This creature looks like a muscular humanoid with thick black-green skin. Its deminic visage is remniscent of a sekeletl human with a prominent jaw, Its hands end in a large, wickedly sharp claws.[/I] Astral Stalkers roam the multiverse looking for the ultimate quarry. They live for the thrill of the huntm and they measure their personal worth and status in their community by the number and power of the creatures that they successfully hunted. These able hunters prefer to stalk intelligent foes, and the pleasure they gain from hunting these creatures for sport makes them evil by the standards of any race. However, astral stalkers adhere to a short list of tenets that they refer to as the Rules of the Hunt: Once its quarry has knowingly eluded an astral stalker, it will never again hunt that creature; if hired to hunt a creature, the stalker will not hunt its employer for at least one year; and no astral stalker will ever hunt aother atrsal stalker. Astral stalkers fin that their prey provides better sport if it knows it is being hunted, so they often warn their quarry in some roundabout fashion before beginning the hunt. An astral stalker typically stands 6 feet tall and weigh 275 pounds. Astral stalkers speak Common and Infernal. [/INDENT] Better described, better written in my opinion. I don't know if we can copy & paste sections of the books here but compare Eidolon (MM4E pg 101) to Rogue Eidolon (MMII3E pg 180). Still think 4E has a better description? Most 4E descriptions are just bad, looking like some recipes or some newspaper's economic section. As I said before, there is exceptions. Astral Stalker's not one of them, unless they fit better to what you want. [/QUOTE]
