Monster Manual

Imagine you’re 10 and you’ve already memorized the attacks, evolutions, and imperial and metric weights of Pokemon from every region. You’ve watched the D&D movie and realized there’s a whole world of owlbears, displacer beasts, and gelatinous cubes out there… and you don’t have the vital statistics for any of them.

Thankfully, Wizards of the Coast has got you covered. (Parent warning: Be prepared to do things like “explain how to calculate the area of a cone of fire,” “argue over whether a lich or a demilich should really have a higher challenge rating,” and “run a D&D campaign.”)
