They'll look a lot like this:</p><p><img src="http://www.random-mayhem.com/keith/4e/MyrdocWatcher.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></p><p></p><p>I'm hoping people will be willing to look them over and point out any dumb mistakes, imbalances compared to existing creatures, and best of all... use them and let me know how they play. </p><p></p><p>The first will be posted in the wee hours of the morning of June 6th, after I make sure to fix anything obviously messed and verify there are no problems with the GSL. It will include artillery monsters ranging over the whole level range. I suspect I'll work on brutes after that and maybe toss up some templates. I've got notes for over 250 monsters, so if there are any particular requests I can try to address those before others.</p><p></p><p>These aren't final yet - I have to be realistic and expect that there are problems due purely to the fact that I'm working on these alone and you can provide the best set of editing and playtest assistance I can hope for! The final versions will look a lot nicer, like <a href="http://www.random-mayhem.com/keith/4e/Myrdoc.pdf" target="_blank">this</a> - I'm trying to make this very professional.</p><p></p><p>Working on these in full stat blocks with correct language takes a lot of work and I do have a full time job, so I'm afraid I won't have these done quite as quickly as I might have hoped, but I'll keep a steady stream of stuff to check out and I'll cheerfully credit anyone who helps with the process.</p><p></p><p>Thanks!</p><p></p><p>...</p><p></p><p>Old (I'll retire this to somewhere safe soon):</p><p>Since a fair number of people are actually trying to play 4E, I figured I'd make a list of monsters you could possibly use that I'd created. The stats could probably use help... but honestly the mini stats look even more crazy, so if you're using those then go nuts <img

[URL="http://picasaweb.google.com/randommayhem/PlaytestMonsters"]Playtest Monsters Web Album[/URL] Update: June 4th I'll be tossing up playtest documents over the course of the next month or so filled with monsters. They'll look a lot like this: [IMG]http://www.random-mayhem.com/keith/4e/MyrdocWatcher.jpg[/IMG] I'm hoping people will be willing to look them over and point out any dumb mistakes, imbalances compared to existing creatures, and best of all... use them and let me know how they play. The first will be posted in the wee hours of the morning of June 6th, after I make sure to fix anything obviously messed and verify there are no problems with the GSL. It will include artillery monsters ranging over the whole level range. I suspect I'll work on brutes after that and maybe toss up some templates. I've got notes for over 250 monsters, so if there are any particular requests I can try to address those before others. These aren't final yet - I have to be realistic and expect that there are problems due purely to the fact that I'm working on these alone and you can provide the best set of editing and playtest assistance I can hope for! The final versions will look a lot nicer, like [URL="http://www.random-mayhem.com/keith/4e/Myrdoc.pdf"]this[/URL] - I'm trying to make this very professional. Working on these in full stat blocks with correct language takes a lot of work and I do have a full time job, so I'm afraid I won't have these done quite as quickly as I might have hoped, but I'll keep a steady stream of stuff to check out and I'll cheerfully credit anyone who helps with the process. Thanks! ... Old (I'll retire this to somewhere safe soon): Since a fair number of people are actually trying to play 4E, I figured I'd make a list of monsters you could possibly use that I'd created. The stats could probably use help... but honestly the mini stats look even more crazy, so if you're using those then go nuts ;)
