| | Monster Manual Third Edition -- Dungeons & Dragons |
| | This may not seem very important to some, but in any role-playing game it is necessary to develop a suspension of disbelief; in order to fully interact in the fantasy world a player has to be able to see it in their imagination. | | | To make it easier for the DM to pick monsters to challenge their players it even provides a list of creatures organized by their challenge ratings. | | | The main purpose of this book is to provide a quick, easy reference for game masters to find monsters to use in their adventures. |

| | Plus, all monster entries include character stats so for the first-time players can play as the monsters. | | | Although new ones were introduced to replace them, the book is still short of the amount of creatures it had in the last version and you may find yourself having to convert stats from 2nd ed to 3ed, because a monster you have used in your last game isn't covered in the new rules. | | | I believe it's bad enough that they seem to have placed more emphasis on game mechanics then role-playing, but they kinda butchered the Monster Manual. |

| | RPGnet: Review of Monster Manual III |
| | The Monster Manual is centered around story needs for fantasy gaming, while the MM3 is more of a meta-gaming book. | | | So, unless you’re an Eberron junkie, you’re simply not going to get full use out of this book unless your homebrew game suddenly sprouts Warforged and other icons Eberron. |

| | The bulk of the book is its encyclopedic listing of monsters (in alphabetical order of course, but with grouped creatures listed under the heading of the group). | | | I don't consider this a weakness of the book, mind you; this book was meant primarily to update the old standards to the new rules. | | | Exceptions are an introduction (which explains the stats, lists common special abilities, and describes how to "advance" a monster), separate appendices after the main alphabetical listing for both vermin and mundane animals, and another appendix of templates. |

| | Monster Class Tables for _Monster Manual_ (2000 version) Monsters |
| | Yeah, something needs to be done about that, since a monster with 20 skill points at 1st level and only 3 class skills is going to be forced to spend skill points on non-class skills, which is not good. | | | Monsters taking these classes gain skill points and feats only when these tables say so; they do not gain skill points every level or feats every 3 levels like normal characters do (or like how Savage Species says they will in the "DandD 3.5" Monster Manual). | | | Some of these tables are going to look front-heavy with skill points feats. |

| | There are few new monsters, and the only new idea since the last edition of this book is a thing called a Template, which allows you to modify existing creatures into other types of creatures such as vampires or fiends. | | | The Monster Manual is definately pretty, but is actually less useful as a reference tool than its Second Edition predecessor. | | | However, anyone who owns the other two core books of DandD Third Edition will probably want to buy this book, if only for the sake of completing the set. |
