You're viewing a single thread.
Can someone give a good example if what makes these books good? I'd love to see a single great example of the level of quality that these books bring.
DM'd as to not post any "free samples" of the books
Thanks! They look quite slick and have a lot going on. Particularly the void dragons you sent my way.
Each would be more or less perfect for a single-monster encounter, as they are dense with fairly novel mechanics.
Many people think that the WotC statblocks are a bit too boring, but I consider them a good entry point for new GMs. This is clearly a nice way to up your game.
Cheers!
Like someone below said though, kobold press monsters do tend to be accurate with their challenge ratings while WotC tends to be a little less
Most of that is being fixed by dilating the amount of damage output that players can output in 5e in a variety of changes in OneD&D.
My playtests have had really gripping & close fights, even with people optimizing their hearts out.
@KurtDunniehue @Brunbrun6766 well the more monsters you have access to the more interesting your campaign can be everyone's heard of giants and beholders etc etc etc so books like these add variety and spice to the encounters you can create
