MOAR! Monsters Know What They're Doing

If you want to understand go the tactics the monster may use, to the detriment of your players, thus is the book for you. It explains the tactics and why the creature would act that way.

These books make me a better DM, and are just stinking fun to read!! Every time i pick it up for one monster, i just keep reading about others…

Just as awesome as the first book, super pleased I picked up both of these… really adds depth to not only my 5e games but you can interpret the tactics and utilize those same strategies in earlier additions or other fantasy game settings like Pathfinder too! Definitely helps give you a different perspective in running monsters so it’s perfect for new DM’s who don’t have those tactics yet or seasoned pro’s can take the same monster they’ve run a thousand times and run them in a new way! Super pleased with this purchase!

This book is amazing and hands down the best purchase I've made as a DM. My players can be minmaxers and power gamers. This guide helps even the playing field and makes fights more interesting. This book is a sequel that covers monsters from outside of the Monster Manual. If you have the extra cash, I'd definitely recommend buying both this book and the original. Plus, if you're on the fence, you can get a taste of the books at the authors blog; many of the monster tactics found in this book and the original can be found there for free!

A quick search of YouTube for this author talking about this book series will tell you whether this book is for you or not. In a nutshell, the author examines the stats and abilities of D&D monsters, and provides a fun, logical way to run these monsters, providing the how and why. Really brings these to life in play, and adds so much enjoyment to combats. I can see if someone doesn't like game mechanics, this would not be up their alley. I love it!

Great in-depth detail of how a monster should behave and what it values; how it fights and what it fight for.

As with the first book, this is an excellent must-have for Dungeon Masters to play their creatures in a smarter, more challenging, and more interesting way. I just have one complaint: Why is the order of the entries 100% random? The creature types (humanoid, ooze, fiend, etc.) are in a completely random order, and then the creatures within those sections are completely random as well! Would it have been that hard to order them in alphabetical order so you don't have to consult the table of contents every single time you need to look up a creature? I guess I can resort to using the index every time, but It's really frustrating that this wasn't just done on the table of contents and the order of the pages themselves.

My son is very into D&D and has adored this and the other books in this series.

Great book, if it’s your thing. Well written and full of ideas, plans and great reading.

Very informative and well written

Pensaba que resultaría útil, pero no hay nada que sirva.

Llego en perfectas condiciones. Si eres DM y sabes inglés y quieres mejorar tus partidas y darles más sabor, este libro es la opción. Complementa los perfiles que faltan del 1er tomo. No te arrepentiras si ya tenías el primero

I was a fan of the first book and just got the second. I'm halfway through and already got some great tipps for my next dnd Campaign.
