I'm going to go peruse the errata posts over at Necromancer's bb tonight. I just don't like to read them BEFORE I do the review because I want the product to stand on what is printed. Errata is one of those dual edged blades; glad with the web we can do it but sometimes you want the original product to be what it was intended to be without errata.The issue with the stats is mainly one of function. I understand they may have cut it for space reasons but I think there were other things that could have been cut (like repeating the drench stats within the module and then at the back in the appendix) that could have been better managed. When I run a module the fewer times I HAVE to pull out another manual the better the adventure flows. By simply including the abbreviated stats for the monsters (I don't even think they had to include the descriptions of the special abilities, just the basic stats) then it makes my life that much easier as a DM tool.I know Necromancer does the stat thing this way quite a bit. Not the writers fault for sure. I think Atlas, however, includes stats for everything, and I think this makes it a better 'tool' for DMs. Don't hold me to that generalized statement, I'm sure Atlas has missed a few here and there, I meant that I think it's a general policy for them to include abbreviated stat blocks.Again, thanks for reading.</blockquote>
