If a monster’s listed special ability does not appear in its description, you’ll find it there.Įach monster description is presented in the same format, split into three specific areas:Įach monster is presented alphabetically. Many abilities common to several monsters appear in the universal monster rules. Unique abilities are described below the monster’s stat block. While each monster is a unique creature, many possess similar special attacks, defenses, and qualities.

This is done with the intention of improving the usability of referencing monster stat blocks by a GM during, or while planning for, a game session by clustering all of the monsters most important abilities together which are most often referenced during an encounter. The stat blocks for monsters on have a minor change to the order in which the Ecology and Special Abilities information is presented.
