This allows a DM to reconstruct the monster in endless combinations. 4E doesn't have that magical ability. A monster is just designed the way it's designed and there's not necessarily a rhyme or reason to it.I find myself going back to SS time and time again, if not for rules/options than for a better understanding of why/how a particular monster/ability works. It's a great resource.It doesn't get the love because it was one of the final 3.0 books and thus was deemed to be obsolete with the coming of 3.5 and before it ever had a chance to prove its worth.</blockquote>
