This review is from: Legacy of the Dragons (Arcana Unearthed d20 3.5 Fantasy Roleplaying) (Paperback)

Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed campaign setting is perhaps one of the most ground-shaking publication in the d20 world since the announcement of the third edition rules. It tosses out many of the old stand-bys of the D & D game (arcane vs. divine magic, alignments, the traditional character classes and the customary cosmology, just to name a few changes), and I expected that the monster manual would follow the same trend.

There are some darned nifty monsters in here, like the rune reaver and the unnamable, but too many of the creatures are just variations on an old 3.5 theme. The night beast is a shadow with a few extra powers, the vallorians are dark elves with a new back-story and fewer spider . . .

Don't get me wrong, this book is a fine addition to any Arcana Unearthed campaign, and some of the monsters will work well in just about any fantasy campaign you might be running, but I was really expecting something that would deepen and heighten the Arcana Unearthed experience and this came up short.
