A Review from Someone Who Actually Played It: The Monster Manual

The new monster manual (MM) is a vast improvement over the 3.5 MM. The new system of minions and standard monsters MAKES SENSE, not all monsters know how to take punishment. The new monster stat blocks are so much easier to read and use, you no longer have to look through 3 books to use a monster. When I ran my game, I found it so much easier to use then the 3.5 manual.The art work is also fantastic, and there are several new monsters that are very cool and innovative.

Yes, there is less description of the monster in this MM then in 3.5. BUT THAT'S GOOD. It's the DM's job to fit a monster into his campaign, and I find that all too often the stereotypes portrayed in the 3.5 MM don't fit with the way I want that monster to in my campaign. All the time I find myself telling my players that, "Hey, in my world, this monster is different..." And it is so hard to break the stereotype that player get about monsters. This books gives the DM leeway to reinvent monsters for their particular campaign. The 4th edition MM doesn't attempt to define every monster. Overall this new MM is a great tool for DMs, and a superb edition to the already superb 4th edition of D&D.
