4.0 out of 5 stars Well Thought, April 10, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Monstrous Compendium Annual, Vol. 2 (Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, Accessory/2158) (Paperback)

I first think that these additional volumes of monsters are really a great help. Often times in the old compendium I find myself not being able to find a "new" encounter for the players to deal with. Witht the annual compendiums I find more and more encounters that can add great fun. For example I find that the new types of dragons, golems, and lycanthropes add surprise to the game. My players often know how to deal with anything I throw at them so the new monsters in this book challenge them more and create more fun.

Okay even this had been the worst of the lot I still would've bought it but thats because im obssesed with collecting every singel compendium. For those of you who arent this book is not neccessairly a must have. Id say the two good parts which stick out are the Wereshark and the Brine dragon. The art <stinks> compared to annual 1 and some of the monsters are pretty stupid too, two words: Centaur Kin. Basically they stuck demihumans on horse bodies, any DM who knows the first thing about monster creation could've done that, if you need a compendium buy annual 1 or 3 which are infinetly better.
