[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8826822, member: 23751"] Basic monsters would be orcs and goblins, maybe trolls and ogres. Anything more is rare and not basic. And that's if there's a fighter's guild and if you happen to be a member, rather than Joe the Farmer adventurer who picked up a sword and went out to seek his fortune. Not in D&D. You seem to be under the misapprehension that all of the monsters are roaming the world in packs or something and people are putting the info on some magical internet. The PCs encounter monsters at a rate that is incredibly higher than the world at large(including fighter's guilds). If it wasn't, then the world died to monster invasions millennia ago. There aren't enough high level people in the world, even in the Forgotten Realms, to handle all the monsters in the books if encountered at the rate that PCs encounter them. The PC's are special that way in order to make the game playable. Decades of specialized study like a non-combat sage. [/QUOTE]
