The Monsters Know What They're Doing: Combat Tactics for Dungeon Masters

Wow this book is great!!! It tells a lot of things about enemies. I recomen it completely: 100% It is a shame it does not contains monsters of the multiverse od DND. But it is a great treasure to have if you are DM

Dmlerin mutlaka alması gereken bir kitap.

I bought a load of books to "up my game" as Dungeon Master, and put this one off until now as I thought it was a little over-priced, and also most of the content was available online. How wrong I was! The book is beautifully put together, the hardcover is fantastic, and the sheer size of the thing is way beyond what I had imagined. But most important of all is the fact that this is all really well written. It's really easy to read, like a good "page turner" story where you don't want to stop reading. I think it's fair to say that most D&D books fall into one of three categories: - essential source books that are a little dry, but (mostly) necessary for the tables and information in them; - skinny pamphlets posing as books that have great content, but would be better as a laminated A4 handout; - books written with good intentions, but the author just isn't a very good writer. This book stands far above all of the rest in my opinion. The information in it can be read from cover to cover, or dipped into to prepare a specific encounter. There's some general ideas that cover any monsters not covered in detail, and then a wealth of information for all of the common monsters that I would expect to see in a campaign. I honestly don't know how I have been running combat without this book as a resource, and I would heartily recommend reading this to any Dungeon Master, experienced or brand new to the hobby. My players knew something had "changed" the last time we played, and I had a number of post-game messages to confirm that this was one of the best combat sessions they had ever played. I can't wait to put more of the ideas in this book into practice.

Excellent supplement to help DMs create and execute challenging and engaging combat encounters. Really helps your monsters think tactically. The players are powerful enough already, so this book will give your NPCs a fighting chance! Based on 5E Monster Manual.

Geweldig naslagwerk voor DM's. Een must-use voor mijn D&D sessies. Ik kan nu veel meer variatie in mijn interacties brengen. Maar ook combat wordt veel leuker, omdat ik de tactieken toepas die eigen zijn aan de verschillende types. En nog een groot pluspunt : de prijs!!! Voor nog geen €20 krijg je 500+ pagina's met info, achtergrond en tactieken van talloze monsters uit D&D!!!
