And let us not over look the obvious fact that we get over pages jam packed with monsters. In previous editions we would be inundated with loads of variants of the same monster over and over again.
Here it is just the opposite. Many creatures get a single listing and we are asked to make do with it. As a lover of Third Edition Dungeons and Dragons I loved the concept of templates and getting to alter things to fit my design or flavor.
Here is where the Monster Manual lacks. There are only 4 templates in the whole book and three of them relate to Dragons. Now I am not saying that I need to have more as many things can be extrapolated from the entries that are there. Compare a commoner to a skeleton or zombie and it is easy enough to make a skeletal or Zombie creature. I have a few fun things that I want to create to hopefully terrify the players.
But when you have the legit template right out of the book no one can call you to task for a misinterpretation. So that is why I prefer the template. I will say the most note-worthy parts of the book is the little blips and blurbs that seem to come from journal entries and books and such.
They add so much extra enjoyment and flavor to the book. I also love the Variant flare that appears here and there. Especially the troll. The troll has options for dismemberment , like they had in previous editions, as well as there is a single sentence that says they can have special abilities if they have been feasting on a diet of creatures that had a special ability.
So if a troll starts eating loads of fey creatures you can give it spell like abilities. I think that will be fun to use. So over all you get loads of monsters full of options, variant rules and plenty of source material that can inspire sessions or even full campaigns. The nerd is strong in this one. I have been a table op role player for about 20 years 17 of which with the current group.
I am an avid fan of books and follow a few authors reading all they write. I have practiced with the art of the German long sword with an ARMA group for over 7 years studying the German long sword, sword and buckler, dagger, axe and polearm. By no strecth of the imagination am I an expert but good enough to last longer than the average person if the Zombie apocalypse ever happens.
