Title: An un-needed book
Review: In my opinion, this is an un-needed book. Why does a DM need a book full of "monsters" that are vastly powerful GOOD beings. In the vast majority of campaigns, the players are good, fighting the forces of evil. With the monsters in this book, the players won't have much to do except watch the battle. This brings up a minor complaint about D&D that I've had since the game first came out...why do the developers always give a slight power edge to good? Wouldn't it make more sense to give a slight power edge to evil, since that's what the players will be fighting against. Take dragons for example. The most powerful good dragon (gold) is a bit more powerful than the most powerful evil dragon (red). All this leads to is the DM having to come up with some reasoning why evil dragons outnumber good dragons, like in Dragonlance Chronicles with the abduction of the dragon eggs. Well, enough rambling off topic. Unless you're DMing a high level evil group, give this one a pass.
