Jon rosa 5.0 out of 5 stars Have some friends over, roll some dice and get your game on with this voluminous tome!I'm not going to go into much details, but here are the points I liked, and the stuff I thought they could do better. Pros: It has a little bit of everything you might want. Easy to read Laid out clear monster blocks Cons: Being the first publication of the monster manual, I thought more common creatures players will run into at lower levels (below 20th) would had been nice. Cool, but not necessarily needed in the first Monster Manual.http://gobitours.com/command-and-conquer-3-kane-wrath-manual.xml

What would had been nice was an expanded Human, Elf, Eladrin, Dragonborn, Goblinoid, ect sections with more diversity of opponent options up to 20th level. These creatures might not have the flair that the Abominations have, but your more likely to use them in a gaming session with level 1 and 2 players. Although, if you get Monster Manual 2, they flush out the more common monsters including expanding the opponent options for Humans, Elves, ect. So as a DM, you will need both. So in the end, good content, but a different layout would had been nice.The pages are thick and glossy and the hard cover is solid. Bugbears, Dopplegangers, Drow, Githyanki, etc.Another really important thing about this book is that it lists tactics for most (if not all) monsters. I find this very handy. Highly recommended book, even if you have a DDI account it is handy to have around. -DIf you want to spice up some monsters, then you've come to the right place. Great ideas to add strategy during fighting and avoid slugfests. I also like the knowledge checks incorporated with each monster that you can use with your players. I personally never played 4e, but I'm glad I listened to advice to get this resource.Was shipped and packaged great.You get a huge array of creatures (which are easy to locate alphabetically or by level) that play different roles in battles, from 1-hit minions to solo skirmishers to artillery, etc. Putting encounters together is really easy, you just look for proper xp and roles, plug them in, and you're ready to go. A final note, as silly as it sounds, the illustrations are actually really inspiring and you can show the pictures to your gaming party and watch them mentally prepare for the pending struggle.For that I give them two stars. The missing three stars are because the 4E Monster Manuals lack the details, information, and soul of previous editions- particularly the 1st and 2nd Editions of the game.http://www.norbertov.cz/UserFiles/command-and-conquer-3-manual-download.xml Those earlier editions were like encyclopedias of knowledge about the monsters, races, demons, and dragons contained inside. There was information about their habitats, behaviors, and a plethora of other useful (and non-useful but entertaining) material. There is also a lack of physical descriptions for DMs to use, just illustrations (some good, some poor). I really enjoy 4th edition as a DM, and I hope a lack of details in the books isn't a trend they take into the next edition (hopefully years off considering the investment I've made!).The art is all great too; everything really gives the monsters a real character. There's a lot of focus on Orcus (being the main antagonist of 4th edition's primary set of published adventures) and I really like the way each monster gets a bunch of variants so that you can make an encounter full of, say, kobolds, while still having a lot of diversity in the enemies (minions, spellcasters, warriors, etc). The wizard in your party will get a rare moment of badassery when he or she wipes out a bunch of enemies in one attack. I also like how each monster gets a set of points of lore that a PC can recall if they roll high enough on a given knowledge skill - a decent roll allows their character to be passingly familiar with certain points of interest, and higher rolls get rewarded with more obscure (and pretty useful) knowledge. It doesn't look like minions or lore points will make it into the 5th edition Monster Manual (it's not out yet for a few more days so I could be wrong), so that's something that 4th edition has over 5th. Nevertheless, so far, 5th edition looks to be a better ruleset overall and so you might be better off investing in that instead, assuming you haven't already committed to sticking with 4th edition.https://strongsib.info/ru/content/bose-lifestyle-48-home-theater-system-manual If you have, then this is by far the best of the 4th ed monster manuals, covering pretty much all the most important enemies your players are likely to face - dragons, beholders, kobolds, gith, yuan-ti, zombies, vampires, angels, demons. good stuff. Loses a star for being part of the otherwise-disappointing 4th edition, but still great as monster manuals go.Prompt delivery makes it higher by my standards as we are talking the christmas rush here so all in all not bad at all and I was more or less in the pathfinder camp for much of the time since 4e was announced. A necessary addition if you want to run the game although if you want a taster take a look at the starter set but not if you to run the whole thing. Take care and all the best!The book itself has huge amounts of stat details for various in game monsters, as well as page references in tables at the back based on level and class (which allows for a much easier construction of random encounters). If you're playing 4th edition dungeons and dragons this is a much needed book on the part of the GM. Used: Like NewGAMEPLAYING. Pictorial hardboard cover. Tight, square binding. One corner bump.

Eric Christian Berg 5.0 out of 5 stars Further, there is more flavor text for each entry, giving descriptions, background, and even stories about the creature. This latter was something that was sorely lacking in the 4th edition Monster Manuals and I'm glad to see its return. The Lore entries simply weren't sufficient in many cases to get a good feel for a monster. As for the selection of monsters, there is a fine variety with a slight emphasis on the Epic tier. Many new varieties of already established monsters are here (Drow, Dragons, Elementals, Giants) as well as creative 4th edition updates of old classics (Catoblepas, Mimic, Thri-kreen, Cloakers) and entirely new creations like Apocalypse Spells, sentient remnants of powerful ancient spells. As with all of the monster books in 4th edition, there is also the stats for a god (Lolth, in this case) and several creatures of god-like power (two of the old Princes of Elemental Evil: Imix and Ogremoch) for upper Epic-level campaigns. Overall, it is an excellent entry into the line.As the other reviewers have mentioned, the stat block format has been revised. It's a bit easier to use, now, and makes it easier to keep track of various special effects that overworked DMs might otherwise overlook. Also, and more importantly, it looks like the designers have finally hit their stride when it comes to monster design. There are several major departures here, all of which came about after the designers saw how monsters work in play. MM2 had some minor improvements - like solo HPs, adjustments to solo and elite defenses, and so on. MM3 goes even further. Brutes do even more - about 25 above and beyond the normal damage expressions. What does all this mean. This means the monsters' defenses and their HPs are significantly higher, and it can lead to long, dragging fights. With these tweaks, encounters go back to normal. It's a good change, and a welcome one. It will mean that MM1 and MM2 monsters will no longer seem so shiny, but they're easy enough to before a session. Hopefully the upcoming Monster Vault will retool a few of our favorites.MUCH MUCH better than MM2. I agree that the encounter groups from the previous 2 books are largely useless, especially if you are a DDI subscriber. (the website has an online tool that allows you to craft encounters in a way that keeps the level right, etc.) Unlike MM2, there aren't too many wasted pages. (who needs, like, 10 different 'humans' in a monster manual?!) Also, many classics are back.Mimics, thri-kreen, lolth, gremlins, catoblepas, and so on. Some new cool additions are the catastrophic dragons (not solos, for some reason), and more psionic and primal flavored creatures. The art is good, as usual, and the text is much richer, and better written than previous MMs for 4e. My only complaint is that they did recycle several illustrations from 3e. The re-organization of the stat block bothered me at first.And id does bother me that I have all 3 MMs, and their stat blocks don't line up, so mixing encounters from all three books might be a pain. But, I do have to say, after reading through it, the new stat block layout makes more sense. Too bad they didn't think of that in the first place back in 2008. Oh well. Better late then never. Bottom line: if you're new to DMing, and you just have the first 3 core rulebooks, skip mm2, and get this one.You'll find some exotic enemies with a lot of flavor text. I've gotten some good player engagement thanks to MM3. Note: If you're looking for good 1st-level monsters, skip this book and get the Monster Vault.I picked this up after reading many reviews online. I love the new monster block layout and how easy it is to use. The artwork is spectacular and the big boss is Lolth, Demon Queen of Spiders. It offers multiple aspects of this big baddie along with other notoriously famous demons and devils from 1st edition. If you are not into 4th edition this book is not for you.It is nicely presented and has some great if not esoteric creatures that could find there way into your game.Great artwork. Also has updated monster stats in keeping with recent updates for monster damage and so on. Would definitely recommend as a companion for The book added another dimention to the game because I was able to now add these creatures to my campaign, too in additon to the original Monster ManualVery useful book, thank you very much. I do really enjoy having great reference books.

Each monster present in the 4th edition ruleset, however, unlike in previous editions, is considered an inhabitants of any of the world of the campaign settings supported by the 4th edition rules.The chapters are as follow:Each section focuses on a particular monster type, with a small amount of background information for use in games, along with statistics for use in an encounter. Unlike the core races, however, these races are not extensively playtested and can be unbalanced compared to the others. Some, such as drow and gnomes, were later re-released in a more formal fashion as fully developed races.

Has been sent into this area to rebuild a force of men and humanoid fighters to gather loot and restore the Temple of Elemental Evil to its former glory. Of course, Mearls is but one of many so charged, but he is looked upon with special favor and expectation. He and his minions have been careful to raid far from this area, never nearer than three or four leagues, traveling on foot or being carried in wagons of the traders from Hommlet. None of the victims are ever left alive to tell the tale, and mysterious disappearances are all that can be remarked upon, for no trace of men, mounts, goods, wagons, or draft animals is ever found. Evil to the core, Mearls is cunning, and if the situation appears in doubt, he will use bribery and honeyed words to sway the balance in his favor. He is not at all adverse to gaining new recruits of any sort, and will gladly accept adventurers into the ranks, but he will test and try them continually.If so, you're not alone. Groups Discussions Quotes Ask the Author The Monster Manual presents more than 300 official To see what your friends thought of this book,Each monster gets a tiny paragraph to describe it's basic purpose in the game. No information on their usual habitat, their history, etc. Tellingly, they each get a tiny paragraph of tactical advice instead. I'm also a touch annoyed that the Lore section, an outgrowth of the great Knowledge sections in the later 3.5 Monster Manuals, is not stronger. As is, you make your knowledge check, and unless the GM ad-libs, you get a quick, fairly useless history of the monster, rather than any hint as to their abilities or weaknesses. So that's the complaints. But what works is so strong I'm compelled to more or less ignore them. The biggest change is re-packaging the monsters so that you don't have to create every single one as if it were a character. Dragons are now playable out of the book. Human bad guys don't require you to roll up characters. And every monster has different level versions of itself, and different tactics and powers. It makes it much easier for a DM to throw together an encounter on the fly, and more importantly, the different powers make all the monsters (even the ubiquitous orcs, kobolds and hobgoblins) interesting and more unique. Plus, as with all the Wizards stuff, it's packed with beautiful artwork, which is crucial to a good Monster Manual. This one I probably started speed-reading to get it over with. ?? - Average. Wasn't terrible, but not a lot to recommend it. Probably skimmed parts of it. ??? - Decent. A few good ideas, well-written passages, interesting characters, or the like. ???? - Good. This one had parts that inspired me, impressed me, made me laugh out loud, made me think - it got positive reactions and most of the rest of it was pretty decent too. ? This one I probably started speed-reading to get it over with. ?? - Average. Wasn't terrible, but not a lot to recommend it. The best of these change the way I look at the world and operate within it. The main problem with it is the multiplication of just plain strange monsters at the expense of the old classic monsters from the old 1st edition. I can only assume that the changes were driven by the desire to increase sales for WOTC by spreading the monsters that people want across multiple volumes, and to increase the number of monsters to create figurines for. Lots of beasts with fatal flaws so a standard group of regular gamers will be able to kill them without getting wiped out. I was hoping for some new, original monsters and with few exceptions, they all felt like they'd been done before. I am please with the manner in which they layout the abilities and explain how they can be used. Probably the best part in each entry is the Strategy section, just as it has been in previous versions. I found some interesting ideas for my next encounters. Prefer fluff.

All Wizards of the Coast stores were closed in 2004. If so, you're not alone. It describes each with game-specific statistics (such as the monster's level or number of hit dice ), and a brief description of its habits and habitats. Most of the entries also have an image of the creature. Due to the level of detail and illustration included, it was cited as a pivotal example of a new style of wargame books. Future editions would draw on various sources and act as a compendium of published monsters.Monsters of the appropriate level were included in the rulebooks for the various basic game sets (the Basic, Expert, Companion, Master, and Immortal sets). These monsters were later collected in the Rules Cyclopedia, which replaced higher-level the boxed sets, and the Creature Catalogue.The first edition was also the first appearance of the mimic. If every DM and every player didn't buy it, I would be very surprised.It also featured monsters that were widely ridiculed, such as the flumph, one of the few non-evil creatures presented in the volume.Like the Fiend Folio before it, the monsters in Monster Manual II listed the experience point value for each monster within the entry. The Monster Manual II along with the First Edition Unearthed Arcana book featured quite a number of monsters, races, and places from Gary Gygax's home Greyhawk campaign world.These were followed by many appendices that contained extra monsters for particular campaign settings.It would also mean they would only need to purchase core volumes and appendix volumes for the campaigns they wanted, rather than getting a mix of monsters in books. However, the binder format ultimately proved impractical for two main reasons. First, looseleaf pages were not as durable as the hardcover format. As it was a frequently used game aid this was a serious concern. Second, TSR routinely printed different monsters on each side of a sheet, making it impossible to keep monsters in strict alphabetical order. More Monstrous Compendium appendices were released as a supplements to the Monstrous Manual in the form of paperback books. They included updated reprints of loose leaf Monstrous Compendium Appendices and new volumes.They contain mostly updated monsters from the sourcebooks of earlier editions, though some monsters have almost no overlap with those of their first edition namesakes.This book was also published in the v3.5 format and used the new stat block format that was introduced in the Dungeon Master's Guide II. Monster Manual IV contained fewer actual monsters than Monster Manual II and III, but had sample lairs and encounters for them, gave stats for classes and templates applied to old creatures, and full page maps.The book was expanded with some new information, 31 new illustrations, and a new index.This book was published in the same format as the Monster Manual IV, featuring lairs and tactics and, like III and IV, detailing how these new monsters fit into Eberron and Forgotten Realms.The book was designed by Mike Mearls, Stephen Schubert, and James Wyatt.Monster Vault: Threats to the Nentir Vale was released June 28, 2011 and re-introduced a few new monsters as well as several related to the setting of Nentir Vale.Archived from the original on October 4, 2008.

The book is divided into an introduction that explains the stat block format, and two short sections at the end including a glossary and guidelines for using a small selection of monsters as PCs (including gnomes, shifters, warforged and more traditional monster races like kobolds and minotaurs). The remainder of the book is monsters. In general, each monster has DC checks for monster lore, typical encounter groups, and stat blocks and tactics several different varieties (like the umber hulk and the shadow hulk under the umber hulk entry).Monsters can also be minions, who can be taken out by any hit dealing damage (but still have formidable attacks and defenses), and elite or solo, with the last two giving the creature a greater reserve of hit points and potential actions to enable them to engage a larger group of PCs. Another significant change is that demons are more brutish and fierce, to differentiate them from the calculating and plotting devils who have a more subtle suite of abilities.

Let us know at You can see that the designers just don't give a crap about the classical roots of the game. BUT there are just too many iconic monsters missing. Missing dragons. Missing giants. Missing mundane animals, for goodness sake. And this book has the same physical quality problems in the other 4E core books: Bendy spine, crappy binding, smudgy ink. Falls frustratingly short of its great potential. Its too bad that if you wish to run 4e you need this book. It is evident from the very start that a lot of thought has been put into the layout of the entries and the way in which information is presented. This makes it very easy both to select suitable monsters as you design encounters and to run actual combat with the details you need presented handily. However, if you like to present an alternate reality in which the monsters live, you are going to have to draw on other resources such as 'monster ecology' books and articles from earlier editions, just using 4e statistics rather than those in your other books when a fight breaks out.
