a good book

For what the price is, there should have been more monsters here. However, the ones that are in this book are very good, especially the Yochlol and the dragons. A great book to get, but see if you can get it used for a slightly lower price.

Excellent

This book is excelent for anyone who needs a good monster. It contains things not mentioned in the first MM, such as more templates,such as Cursts, a new undead template which kicks butt. Some monsters are very fun to pit your PC's against, such as Alhoons(a.k.a., Ithilliches, Illithid Liches). It also provides FR connections such as history. However, even though I don't like Forgotten Realms it is an excelletn book worth it's very steep price ($20).

A little more fun to torture the PCs.....

New Monsters, realms specific info, New types of liches, How could you go wrong? This is filled with fun things to tourture your PCs with.

A Wonderful Book!

This is a great addition to any DM's stock horde. So many monsters (New, old and revised). Monsters that are found on Faerun...and maybe the outer planes (That could be brought to Faerun via a vengeful wizard/sorcerer). The artwork is fantastic, the descriptions are well written and there is the option to play monsters as characters. I recommend this book to anyone looking forward to the Forgotten Realms, or anyone wanting new intriguing challanges.
