    I find it baffling that WoTC decided to wait so long - years, to start offering quality 3rd party books and lore on DnDbeyond. Like so many people bought these books, sometimes also a VTT module of these books, and now years later it's being offered after so many people have 1 or 2 copies of these books already

    • @willmena96

      This is their way of doing a show of good faith after all the horrible decisiones they've made recently.

    DM warning! ⚠️ Very fun product I’d recommend, I own and use all 3 of the monster books, but be aware of the very imbalanced CR ratings compared to any official D&D product. They are often way more powerful. If you allow them for spells and wildshape that use CR, they’ll be way more powerful unless you adjust the CR or stats to be in line with other creatures.
    Kobold Press products tend to be extremely unbalanced or poorly designed and worded in my experience, especially compared to quality products like The Griffon’s Saddlebag, (*shudders at Deep Magic*), but because monsters don’t need to be as balanced as player options to be fun and usable, the Tomb of Beast’s trilogy I still recommend.
    Another warning, a good amount of ToB creatures have specific lore and ties to creatures and settings in other non-ToB Kobold Press products, and sometimes it can be really frustrating when a creature is meant to be paired with that other creature, god, or setting, and the book tells you to find information in another product you don’t own.
