Book Reviews of Dungeons & Dragons Monster Manual: Roleplaying Game Core Rules, 4th Edition
Book Review: A worthy successor
Summary: 4 Stars
One cannot review the new D&D Monster Manual in isolation from the other Core Rules books. The new system is a worthy successor to 3.5, but while it is in some ways even more consistently d20, it is also a dramatic break from 3.5 and you cannot take the monsters in this book to use in your 3.5 (or earlier) campaign.
What is interesting about the Monster Manual in particular is the variety of monsters available within a type. For example, there are 16 monsters listed under the heading of "Goblin." Now this inclues Hobgoblins and Bugbears as well as Goblins, but that is still a lot of different monsters. This allows the DM to craft a rich set of encounters even for low level characters including brutes, soldiers, casters, minions, leaders and more. This is a far cry from entering a room with 5 Goblins and a Bugbear, all with the same basic role and style of attack.
