Download or read book The Monsters Know What They re Doing written by Keith Ammann and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the creator of the popular blog The Monsters Know What They’re Doing comes a compilation of villainous battle plans for Dungeon Masters. In the course of a Dungeons & Dragons game, a Dungeon Master has to make one decision after another in response to player behavior—and the better the players, the more unpredictable their behavior! It’s easy for even an experienced DM to get bogged down in on-the-spot decision-making or to let combat devolve into a boring slugfest, with enemies running directly at the player characters and biting, bashing, and slashing away. In The Monsters Know What They’re Doing, Keith Ammann lightens the DM’s burden by helping you understand your monsters’ abilities and develop battle plans before your fifth edition D&D game session begins. Just as soldiers don’t whip out their field manuals for the first time when they’re already under fire, a DM shouldn’t wait until the PCs have just encountered a dozen bullywugs to figure out how they advance, fight, and retreat. Easy to read and apply, The Monsters Know What They're Doing is essential reading for every DM.

Book excerpt: The ninth volume in our Mythic Monsters series, Mythic Monsters: Undead brings you a dozen and TWO deathless and deadly monsters come back from beyond the grave, their eternal rest shattered by the weight of their sin or the burden of their curse. Here you will find undead that hunger for flesh like ghouls and ghasts, to those that hunger for the life force of their victims, like wights and spectres. Such commonplace and familiar undead take on an entirely new and terrifying texture in the hands of the Legendary team, and so do more exotic undead like the soul-craving devourer and demilich , the devastating witchfire, and the headless horsemen of the graveyard, the dullahan, along with the brand-new jigsaw man that is forever coming apart at the seams and wants you to join him in a dismembered demise. As if these mythic undead were not enough, Mythic Monsters: Undead also delves into the secrets of mythic necromancy, dealing with the corpse-flesh of the dead and undead alike. The 14 undead contained herein, ranging in CR from 3 to 17, are updated for the mythic rules, and when we say updated we mean complete stat blocks, yes, but more than that every one of these walking dead and restless spirits has its own unique and exciting new mythic abilities, from a mythic totenmaske's fleshdrink and insufferable ennui to the devour spell and obliterating wail of a mythic demilich!The Mythic Monsters series from Legendary Games brings you dynamic and exciting mechanics alongside evocative and cinematic new abilities that really help creatures live up to their flavor text, whether they are creatures of real-world myth and legend or creatures born out of the RPG tradition itself. These creatures can work just as well in a non-mythic campaign as they do in one that incorporates the full mythic rules, as you can throw them at your jaded players who think they've seen it all or know the standard monster stats as well as you do. That look of surprise and “What was THAT?” will warm any GM's heart. Download this 30-page mythic monster supplement today, and look forward to future releases in the Mythic Monsters line.
