The recent discussion (which you may have missed) about Elder Evils and what constitutes a world threat got me thinking a little. Its somewhat demoralizing having all these ideas and just not being able to 'get them out there'. So anything which speeds up the process is a good thing. Undead seem to be doing poorly in the poll which I find really strange. I definately thought I under represented them in the first Bestiary.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /> Thinking about it though the Great Beast by virtue of being a Dragon should probably be in the Dragon supplement...Mulahtimic perhaps... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />The key is differentiating them from Abominations sufficiently, more specifically making them something more than just bigger and badder abominations. I think I have done that with regards their various 'looks' not sure about the mechanics though - I need to play up the dimensional aspects more. Part of me wants to put certain Far Realm entities in the Pseudonatural pdf, but I think that would defeat the purpose of boiling the pdfs down to get them out quicker.With my epic dragos being built around classes, a 4E interpretation may be somewhat different from a 3.5 update.Reading some of the 4E preview material sounds like WotC are introducing a bunch of new materials into the game, I have also uncovered some new occult materials that I'll be looking to introduce myself. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />I don't want to big them up this early, but there are some cracking monsters in the planning.Even if the Great Beast makes the shift to the Dragon pdf there will still be some real heavy hitters in here.I have been planning out the Far Realm pdf and the only problem is that when I do some research I generally go into idea overdrive and tend to come up with too many ideas, so its going to be a case of picking the best 15 (out of about 30 now) for this pdf. But don't worry if it doesn't show up herein I'll save it for a rainy day (like the Abomination pdf). The Umbrals are really great monsters they are sort of like the immortals of the nightshades. The only thing I am concerned about is the Umbral art, not sure I really did the Void Dragon or the Unelemental justice first time around (art wise).Its all good. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
