Which supplementary monster 'manuals' do you prefer

[DragonLancer]

I would have voted for the options on the poll plus other, but when I try and vote I get an "invallid session" message.

 

[Nightfall]

More people voted for Monsters of Faerun than Legions of Hell or CCII?

What are you people smoking...

Edit: Oh, I should have voted other as well, for necromantic lore.

And Monster's Handbook. But yeah I find it a little odd monsters of Faerun jumped out ahead of Legions of Hell.

 

[Knightfall]

Hmm, let's see... MM, MM II, Minions, Jade Dragons & Hungry Ghost, Creatures of Rokugan, and Monsters of Faerun.

Also, Monster's Handbook and Savage Species for 'alternate' monstrous rules.

Plus, the Manual of the Planes has a 'vital' monster chapter, in my opinion.

Cheers!

It's not a 'true' monster book, But Manual of the Planes, per capita, has provided me with more usable creatures than any other book but the MM itself. Otherwise, I grab from tons of other sources, from WotC's web site to the ELH.

I've considered the Fiend Folio and Monster Manual II, but I'm not sure I really need another monster book, especially if it's not 3.5 compatable.

And Monster's Handbook.

Yeah, well, but that's not a monster book in the "catalog of monsters" sort of sense. But I think it's worth ten times it's weight in monster books in the hands of a creative DM.

Other: Nightmares and Dreams I and II

ToH, FF, MMII, MotP, BoVD

Wow, the MMII is winning

 

[Gothmog]

For me, Legions of Hell, Armies of the Abyss, Liber Bestarius, and Tome of Horrors, and Book of Vile Darkness are my most referenced. Monster's Handbook gets honorable mention- I use it almost every session to some degree. We haven't gamed since I got the Fiend Folio, but I could see myself using many of the critters out of it.

I can't for the life of me see why MMII is ahead. So many of the critters in there are just plain wonky.

Agreed. *pauses a moment to wonder if that was a slight at me...but ignores cause Psion is cool and right about it being a great book.*

Umm, WizarDru, the Fiend Folio is 3.5E compatible. I think the only thing they didn't do was change the SR numbers. Of course, I could be wrong.
