Finally - original monsters!

While this is easily the least useful volume of the Planescape Appendices ( one containing the Baatezu and the Tanar'ri, three focusing on the Elementals), Number Two readily catches my eye with the fact that most of the creatures within have never apeared in print before, and the few that have haven't been heard from in many years (on the other hand, numbers one and three usually simply take a random, and probably well-known creature from one of the older supplements, change its stats and name, and - voila! - a "new" monster!). I find this volume to be a most enjoyable resource of absurd creatures I use to knock the ground from under my PCs' feet.

Adds whole new dimensions to the monsters of Planescape.

The new Sects contained in this suppliment are invaluable when you are in a clinch to make a new encounter. The monsters are a little more balanced than the ones in the other expansions and include some pretty freaky concepts.

Great artwork and descriptions!!!

Although I found the artwork excellent, and I really enjoyed the descriptions; I found the lack of timestream entries somewhat disconcerting.
