Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pants" data-source="post: 3520983" data-attributes="member: 8849">I've realized that the book is a hodge-podge of cool ideas executed horribly, really stupid ideas, and converted creatures converted, well, averagely.Fiend Folio is so much better it's not even funny, even if a lot of the fiends still need the 3.5 makeover. Although, if WotC decided to release a 3.5 MMII, I'd most likely buy it, simply because the good ideas that it does have are pretty good, but even then, it would be pretty low on my list of 'good monster books.'What's so inspiring about this? If I were to pick one of the three high-CR oozes from this book to be inspired by, it'd be the teratomorph.I'm not really sure what the point of this creature is supposed to be. It's a roc... but it shoots light! Whoopie, make a template.Kind of a lame version of a classic monster. Needs some work to be useful and to bring it back to its roots.Inspiring, though they all need some work, as with all 3.0 fiends.MehNeat idea, hate how it was done.The Mountain Giant is one of the most egregious examples of horrid CR inflation in the book. It's what, CR 26, and it doesn't have any DR or SR.Lords of Madness has them now.Over CR-ed, though it's debatable. Still kinda nifty.Crappy Conversions, like all 3e Yugo conversions. The fact that the book has crappy conversions is not a plus even if every other conversion sucks. My list of cool MMII monsters:Most of which were done poorly, even by 3.0 standards.Or any of their other books.</blockquote>
