Monstrous Compendium Reaenloft Appendix: Advanced Dungeons and Dragons

As of the writing of this review I am running a inner planes Campain. There our 2 books which have proved useful. This is one of them. Most the monsters our found in the inner planes and really help flush out that part of the Planescape Campain setting. The other book The Inner Planes is also wrote by Monte Cook the 2 our surprizingly compatible which is nice.

WOW! The best monstrous compendium(other than ravenloft) ever created! It has all the elementals one could ever want, including Ice, Ash, radiance, magma, ooze, and even Vacuum! An almost-Must-have for any party with a high level wizard with access to the conjuration/summoning school! The other animals in this book are also incredibly cool. also includedin the front and back of the book are guides to the way creatures react with each other, and harmless residents of the inner planes!

Wow! All I can say is........WOW! This is the treasure trove of the unique, original, and inspiring creatures I have always longed for... The art is amazing, the text is well-written, the book is sturdy and very attractive, and the content is....... simply put, oustanding. This is a sort of book that you lift up and say " why haven't I heard of this earlier! " or " why haven't they released this a couple years ago! ". Every single creature is so original and unique, they fully deserve to have legends written about them. BUY THIS BOOK!

Just what I need. Finnally, that "Summon Planar Creature" spell can summon more than just Imps and Baatzu.

This is a great addition to Planescape material. Finally, attention is given to the Inner planes. But it is much more than your typical "monsters by the numbers" treatment. There is lots of background and mood envoking text to make these creatures more than the sum of their hit dice. In fact, in some ways there is more new material about the inner planes themselves than in the Inner Planes supplument. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting detailed creatures of a more bizarre nature.
