Hi, if I order the hardcover edition now will it include the fixes mentioned at the top of this page? No, it will not. You need to wait until the 2nd edition is fully released through the PDF first which won't happen until at least 3rd quarter of The PDF bookmarks are messed up.

There are duplicates of each section, but to make it worse each duplicate has different subsections missing from it. The previous MM Expanded has fantastic bookmarks, and this was a disappointing drop in quality in comparison. Any chance this can be fixed in an update?

Everything else about this is great, so would love to see it fixed. I've bought this for It's a great product, but that does leave a bit of a sour taste in my mouth :. I was hoping to buy all 3 MME's for Christmas, but seen the not on improvements made.

What kind of improvements? Hi, I bough the first MME last year for my boyfriend as Christmas gift and he absolutely loved it me and other players less so XD I wanted to buy him second part but noticed that you will be updating it and offer it long past Christmas.

Can you please give me some run down of what is being fixed and updated so I can decide if I wanna risk it and buy this version? Hi Nela. I think I will wait then, looks like massive update and I cannot say no to new and improved art : I have second question. Any news about that? If it would be ready in November or early December? If it would be in December I am not sure it would be possible to ship it in time for Christmas to Czech rep.

There are no plans for any bundles. DM's Guild prevents us from building bundles for PoD products. To avoid any confusion, I don't plan on putting any bundles for the pdf versions as well. Why did this happen and will the price be going back down? Hi Jerry. There was an email sent by the company to publishers but I don't have a copy. I have no idea if they will eventually lower the price again but the change was due to a shift in printing system.

I am working on a standard print soft cover but that will take some time probably early next year. Fantastic Book, but I have a few comments on version 1. I love the changes made to the Ancient Elder Brain; however, there are a few oddities.

The creature sense has decreased from 5 miles with the standard EB to 2 miles with the elder version 2. The Mind Blast ability has been changed from a sphere centred on the EB to a cone 3.

Despite the elder brain now being Huge, it can only grapple huge or smaller. Thank you Hugo. I'll look into these and apply the necessary changes once we are done with the launch of MME3. First off id like to say I have both of these books and they are amazing.

The love that has gone into them is visible for all to see. I was wondering as a new adventure writer looking to publish on the dmsguild I wanted to use your Monsters to help me add more variety to my adventures. I am happy to include credits within the adventure to allow people to find you books.

I wanted to DM you but couldn't find a email to get in touch directly. Hi Stephen! Yes, you can definitely use the statblocks for your adventures.

The biggest change from older versions that I like is the addition of a "Knowledge" chart. Wether knowledge religion or arcana, these guides help tell what the characters might know given their "knowledge roll". It really helps a DM give quick info rather than have us guess each monster.

Product was in great condition! Almost like new! Verified purchase: Yes Condition: Pre-owned. Very good book for d and d gamer's to have. New and unusual monsters to challange any player new and old alike.

Great artwork and easy to find and read the various descriptions. Filled with baddies Great for campaigning or adventuring! The product was just what I asked for. Attacks, spells, hazards, and special abilities frequently either deal damage to a character or impose one or more conditions —and sometimes both.

A combat encounter typically lasts until one side has been defeated, and while this can mean retreat or surrender, it most often happens because one side is dead or dying.

Conditions can hinder a creature for a time, limiting the actions they can use and applying penalties to future checks. Some conditions are even permanent, requiring a character to seek out powerful magic to undo their effects. Instead, they recover from wounds, plan future conquests, or pursue a trade. In Pathfinder, this is called downtime , and it allows time to pass quickly while characters work toward long-term tasks or objectives.

Most characters can practice a trade in downtime , earning a few coins, but those with the right skills can instead spend time crafting, creating new gear or even magic items.

Characters can also use downtime to retrain, replacing one character choice with another to reflect their evolving priorities. They might also research a problem, learn new spells, or even run a business or kingdom! Some of the most important terms mentioned on previous pages are also included here for reference. Ancestry An ancestry is the broad family of people that a character belongs to.

This score represents how hard it is to hit and damage a creature. It serves as the Difficulty Class for hitting a creature with an attack. Attack When a creature tries to harm another creature, it makes a Strike or uses some other attack action. Most attacks are Strikes made with a weapon, but a character might Strike with their fist, grapple or shove with their hands, or attack with a spell.

Background A background represents what a character experienced before they took up the life of an adventurer. Each background grants a feat and training in one or more skills. Bonuses and Penalties Bonuses and penalties apply to checks and certain statistics.

There are several types of bonuses and penalties. If you have more than one bonus of the same type, you use only the highest bonus. Likewise, you use only the worst penalty of each type. Class A class represents the adventuring profession chosen by a character.

Condition An ongoing effect that changes how a character can act, or that alters some of their statistics, is called a condition. The rules for the basic conditions used in the game can be found on the Conditions page.

Currency The most common currencies in the game are gold pieces gp and silver pieces sp. One gp is worth 10 sp. In addition, 1 sp is worth 10 copper pieces cp , and 10 gp are worth 1 platinum piece pp. Characters begin play with 15 gp or sp to spend on equipment. Debilitation : Debilitations apply conditions and other negative effects to a creature.

When the creature is affected by a new debilitation, any previous one it was affected by ends. Feat A feat is an ability you can select for your character due to their ancestry , background , class, general training, or skill training. Some feats grant the ability to use special actions. Flourish : Actions with this trait are special techniques that require too much exertion for you to perform frequently.

You can use only 1 action with the flourish trait per turn. Game Master GM The Game Master is the player who adjudicates the rules and narrates the various elements of the Pathfinder story and world that the other players explore. Hit Points HP Hit Points represent the amount of punishment a creature can take before it falls unconscious and begins dying. Incapacitation : An ability with this trait can take a character out of the fight. But when you use an incapacitation effect against a creature of higher level than you, you reduce the degree of success of your attack roll by one step, and that creature improves the degree of success of its saving throws for that effect by one step.

Initiative At the start of an encounter, all creatures involved roll for initiative to determine the order in which they act. The higher the result of its roll, the earlier a creature gets to act. Ki Spells : By tapping into a supernatural inner reserve called ki, you can create magical effects.

Certain feats grant you special spells called ki spells, which are a type of focus spell. It costs 1 Focus Point to cast a focus spell. When you gain your first ki spell, you also gain a focus pool of 1 Focus Point. You refill your focus pool during your daily preparations, and you regain 1 Focus Point by spending 10 minutes using the Refocus activity to meditate in order to reach inner peace.

When you first gain a ki spell, decide whether your ki spells are divine spells or occult spells. You become trained in spell attacks and spell DCs of that tradition. Focus spells are automatically heightened to half your level rounded up. Taking feats can give you more focus spells and increase the size of your focus pool, though your focus pool can never hold more than 3 points.

Player characters have a level, ranging from 1st to 20th, representing their level of experience. Monsters, NPCs, hazards, diseases, and poisons have levels ranging from —1 to 30 that measure the danger they pose.

Spells have levels ranging from 1st to 10th, which measure their power; characters and monsters can usually cast only a certain number of spells of any given level. Metamagic : Actions with the metamagic trait tweak the properties of your spells. These actions usually come from metamagic feats. You must use the metamagic action directly before Casting the Spell you want to alter. If you use any action including free actions and reactions other than Cast a Spell directly after, you waste the benefits of the metamagic action.

Open : These maneuvers work only as the first salvo in the attacks you make on your turn. Press : Actions with this trait allow you to follow up earlier attacks. An action with the press trait can be used only if you are currently affected by a multiple attack penalty. Some actions with the press trait also grant an effect on a failure. If your press action succeeds, you can choose to apply the failure effect instead. For example, you may wish to do this when an attack deals no damage due to resistance.

Rarity primarily applies to equipment and magic items, but spells, feats , and other rules elements also have a rarity. If no rarity appears in the traits of an item, spell, or other game element, it is of common rarity. Uncommon items are available only to those who have special training, grew up in a certain culture, or come from a particular part of the world.

Rare items are almost impossible to find and are usually given out only by the GM, while unique ones are literally one-of-a-kind in the game. Broncosaurus Rex, by Goodman, has a lot of dinosaurs in 3. All 5 books are in pdf format. Lost Prehistorica, by Dark Quest, has a few in 3. Flynn First Post. Vraille Darkfang First Post.

They don't exactly follow d20 Rules many are animals with Int over 2 , and most of them are more Dino-like than actual reproductions of actual extict creatures. I also don't know whether it is available as a PDF. Thanks for the help! Post reply. Insert quotes…. Similar Threads. Replies 7 Views 4K.
