Also, be careful of allowing players to simply read this whole book-doing so may ruin some of the mystery this accessory provides.Ĭover Artists Roberto Campus Designers Ian S. As always, you must decide which templates your players can have access to and which they can’t. Templates can also create opportunities for players to play unique species or character types. Most of all, it is designed to allow more creative freedom and flexibility in creating game sessions that are interesting, exigent, and memorable. (When this book says “you,” it means “DM” and nobody else-the effect of applying a template is always the domain of the wise adjudicator.) It is also for someone who wants to get more mileage from the creatures presented in the MM and elsewhere. This book, then, is designed for a DM who wants to shake up the preconceived notions of his or her players. These new addons can certainly keep players guessing and really put some much-needed challenge into ordinarily easy encounters.
Each template in this volume was created to add unexpected twists to monsters that would ordinarily elicit a chorus of yawns from experienced players. Since most DMs don’t have unlimited budgets to purchase the newest creature collections, it stands to reason that a better, more economical alternative is to alter creatures already on hand. Once players have familiarized themselves with the creatures in various monster compendiums, the mystery, excitement, and challenge of an adventure are all dulled. The old adage goes, “Variety is the spice of life.” So too is it the spice of gaming encounters.
This product utilizes updated material from the v.3.5 revision. Requires the Dungeons & Dragons® Third Edition Core Books, published by Wizards of the Coast, Inc.
