Spent a while with the new version of this so as to do it justice. And so, I have added a brief rating review to the download page. I'll post it here too.
Beyond being the simple, easy to use bestiary that this book first seems, the new edition of the Monsters Compendium is a rich resource for populating your fantasy worlds.
Including more than just monsters and beasts, the common folk are present too. You can find all manner of humans and members of other factions to encounter. The addition of some entries like smallfolk, lizardfolk and even goblins hints at an expanded set of playable races in HoA's future.There's also handy generator for creating or enhancing your foes, and a clever index listing all monsters and their stats.
A hidden treat is the subtly different tables on some monster entries, giving quick ways to add detail and flavour to the inhabitants of your game.
