[QUOTE="Rya.Reisender, post: 6720831, member: 6801585"] Monsters stats on the appendix works quite well for me. During combat I hardly ever need to know anything that's written in the adventure text. I only need the map and the monster stats. So during combat I can really just work with the appendix, without having to check the adventure text. So for me, there's actually no need at all, to have the monster stats on the same page as the room description that contains said monsters. What I find bothersome, however, is when I have to check through a large amount of monsters to find the correct entry. So the whole "check MM for monster stats" wouldn't work very well for me. Better have all the relevant monsters as appendix, so you only have like 50 to browse through. Also monsters right now are sorted alphabetically, but I personally would prefer that they were grouped by encounters. So if there is an encounter with both goblins and hobgoblins, I'd prefer these two to be on the same page, even though they don't start with the same letter. Edit: Note that I bought all the maps from Mike Mearls separately, so I don't need to flip through the adventure module to check the map. [/QUOTE]
