[QUOTE="Shade, post: 3704829, member: 287"] OK, assuming that the 4E Monster Manual follows the similar approach to the 3E and 3.5 MM, and that its' contents will be the bulk of what is available for 3rd-party publishers to use, what would you most like to see within? Remember that the core game now goes to 30th level. Here's mine. I've doubtless forgotten some of the many creatures I'd love to see within. My main goal was to get as many base creature subsets into the system as early as possible, notably the exemplars of the various alignments.
