Some tidbits from the beginning of the book...
What’s Changed?
Mystical: Kingdom of Monsters introduced over 150 monsters, some of which are featured again here. As a general rule, when a monster is detailed in two different places, there are variations that, for trainers out of game, mean they will want to have access to the tome in which the monster gains the spells and abilities they are looking for. In game, even monsters of the same breed can have differences between them in color, strength, and even ability.
For example, the Kingdom of Monsters timeslayer gains the Magic Fang and Greater Magic Fang spells. In Haunted Eve, it gains Cause Fear and Speak with Dead instead. The only in game way to capture such a monster is to find it in the Scribe’s Marsh during Haunted Eve.
Variant Monsters
Monsters of the same breed (festrog and elcu, for example), that are presented as different levels with no other physical change are variant monsters. They usually grant trainers one or more different spells from their counterparts in Kingdom of Monsters.
Under regular circumstances, variant monsters have to be captured separately from their lower or higher-level versions. Only a monster breeder is able to tap into the potential of her companion and change it around as she sees fit. Without this ability, other trainers must wait for special times of year, such as Haunted Eve, if they hope to capture variants.
Variant monsters will have underlined spells in their spell lists. These are spells introduced with Haunted Eve that can be learned by a monster captured during the holiday or under control of a breeder.
What’s New?
When adventuring in the Kingdom, the new monsters presented here can only be found during Haunted Eve, and most of them can only be found within Scribe’s Marsh (see the individual entries for exact details). 22 original monsters, some of which are the child or elder stage of previously introduced creatures, are interspersed with variant monsters.
In addition, two new templates (available to monster breeders) add zombies and skeletons to the Kingdom. Example monsters with the templates applied can be captured by anybody during Haunted Eve, but again, only breeders can gain access to them outside of the holiday or other special means.
Gotta catch 'em all :)
err, I mean- snagged it :D
I got two different files in my DL via DriveThru; what it the difference between the two? I haven't had a chance to look it over as closely as I'd like with my daughter lurking about, peeking over my shoulder, and wondering what's up with this mysterious package that arrived that I HAVEN'T opened (for a change).
It looks to have doubled up the file when I fixed a layer heading instead of removing the original. The correct file is the Haunted_Eve_-_Monster_Only_Pack. Thank you for letting me know.
Well, we're always looking for new volunteers to do new books ...
No worries :) SO I just have 2 versions instead of one.
What would really be cool is some Mini's for all these critters- or, since the artwork is so awesome, some of ArcKnight's FPMs. Now THAT would be an insta-buy...
Oh, and PCGen support for MKoM... I guy can wish, eh?
Those are all great ideas, but as only one person, it's a little slow going to act on them all at once. I've got some other things prioritized at the moment, but this is definitely on my radar.
