Volo’s Guide to Monsters provides something extra for Dungeon Masters and for experienced players this introduces options for new races including Aasimar, Firbolg, Kenku, Tabaxi and Triton. Uncover the machinations of the mysterious Kraken Society, what is the origin of the bizarre froghemoth, or how to avoid participating in the ghastly reproductive cycle of the grotesque vargouille. Dungeon Masters and adventurers will get some much-needed guidance as you plan your next venture, traipsing about some dusty old ruin in search of treasure, lore, and let’s not forget ... dangerous creatures whose horns, claws, fangs, heads, or even hides might comfortably adorn the walls of your trophy room. If you survive. Review: Volo 's Guide - Well thought out and imaginative addition to the 5th Edition of Dungeons & Dragons. In keeping with the general trend in the latest iteration of the game, the stress is on storytelling rather than rules. Many of the new races available for characters are not too different in many respects to other core races (Goliaths have virtually identical stat adds to Half Orcs already described in the PHB for example) but their background and history gives roleplaying tips to make them different to play. This volume is full of valuable resources, more powerful versions of standard Monster Manual critters ; Monster lairs (the Mind Flayer tunnel complex is extremely challenging), New races for PCs ; example NPCs; Detailed ecologies for some creature. All are useful and usable. It is a bit unwieldy in that some of the book is designed for DMS and some for players but , I suppose, that is close to the AD&D version of many moons ago, the Unearthed Arcana. Great production values and top notch artwork feature throughout...the Fire Giant Dreadnought and Slithering Tracker pics are highlights for me. The cover artwork is slightly underwhelming, in contrast. It's a shame no space could be found to credit the original creators of these creatures, I remember many of the best here (Kenku, Tabaxi, Nilbog etc) appearing in White Dwarf Magazine way back in the day , sent in by fan contributors. Still, in a way, their longevity and continued popularity, renewed in these up to date versions, are a testament to the writers who invented them, Review: Wonderful options for any party or DM! - An excellent addition to my gaming group's universe. The new player races are very welcome - this supplement provides detailed rules for 5 new origins and stats for a handful of traditional monster races people may like to roleplay. The in-depth exploration of key D&D monsters, their habits, society and homes, really adds the worlds you can build - It has been ideal for designing campaigns pitting the players against arch enemies, where they can be immersed in the lore of the orc warlord's clan, or delve into the devious web of puppets controlled by a hag, rather than slog through a series of randomly populated dungeons. ## Features - Immerse yourself in monster lore in this supplement for the world's greatest roleplaying game - Hardcover with 223 pages full of fun - Explore iconic monsters - International Standard Book Number: 978-0-7869-6601-1 - Printed in USA ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 311,531 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 372 in Role-Playing & War Games 29,100 in Reference (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 15,382 Reviews | ## Images ![Dungeons & Dragons Volo's Guide to Monsters - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81KCP1mGlSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Volo 's Guide *by R***T on 25 June 2018* Well thought out and imaginative addition to the 5th Edition of Dungeons & Dragons.
