4.0�toiles sur 5 Good book that should have had more monster detail, Sep 10 2003

Par	Richard A. Graves (Clovis, NM USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This is an excellent monster book that gives information on hundreds of monsters that you can use in your campaign. The artwork is good although I think I liked the old black and white drawings in the 1st edition of the game more. This book should have been larger too and included more information on the ecology of the monsters, habits, etc... the old 2nd Edition AD&D Monstrous Manual did it best, an entire page for each monster with LOTS of info on how the creatures lives, society, etc... still a good book though, really a must if you want to play the game, but probably my least favority of the three core rulebooks.

1.0�toiles sur 5 How to make a better Monster Manual, Juil 18 2003

Par	Johnny Truant "hatredistrength" (United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

A: Include all monsters from the previous edition's manual
B: Introduce a few new and interesting monsters (10-40 would suffice)
C: Make the layout flip-friendly for rushing GMs
D: Make sure the monsters go beyond combat statistics (as in their habitats are listed, form of society, mating and etc. Like a National Geographic Mag.)

I think if at least one of these is followed, it's worth the same as the original. If all are followed, it's a goldmine. I have the great annoyance to tell you that none of these were followed.

There are 1/3 the number monsters in the new manual as the old one (I hear that if you add this manual, 2, and the Monsters of Faerun books together you get almost as many as the old 2nd edition MM.) I believe that the creators argued "The original MM only had 40 monsters in it!" My answer to this is simple: the first edition didn't have 25+ years of books and two editions in front of it to help.

The new monsters (which ended up drowning out old favorites) are way too underpowered or overpowered, lack depth, and generally seem a little too sci-fi (remember, this is a fantasy game)

The layout definately sucks, it took me an hour to find anything. One monster a page is definately a better road to travel.

Last but not least, the monsters BARELY go beyond the numbers. I suggest you either buy all three of the above mentioned "Monster Manuals" (have fun shuffling books!) or just play 2nd edition AD&D.

4.0�toiles sur 5 Tons of Monsters...Yet Lacking, Jui 7 2003

Par	D. Hennemuth "Madrox187" (Newport, VT United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

The Third Edition (3E) Monster Manual is a great purchase for any DM. It has a good amount of monsters, pretty descriptive stats, yet...it seems one caliber less than the 2E Monster Manual.

On one hand, the 3E Monster Manual delivers over 200 monsters to terrorize your campaign setting. They have some awesome new monsters. My personal favorite, is a devil, and is known as a Kyton. He is demonic humanoid with hundreds of chains drooping from his body, and his mode of attack is flailing those chains. Pretty hardcore.

On the other hand, the 3E Monster Manual doesn't seem to give enough. Some of the monsters just plain [are bad], and they aren't unique in any way. Also, the amount of creatures do not come near the amount that were in the 2E monster manual, which is frustrating.

On the FINAL hand, It is a must for any DM playing 3E. It isn't a bad book at all...it just seems lacking. The monster stats are good...the amount of monsters are good...but don't expect much more. (If they had 3.5 stars I would give this book 3.5)
