[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 8539635, member: 326"] Howdy RPWT buddy, :) Progress is slow but steady. Tons of artwork done, but still 25-26 illustrations to go - that will take us hopefully 10 weeks...and just to clarify the book will not be finished in 10 weeks (though should be in around the 250 pages completed mark about then - so in the 'home stretch' as it were). Final* monster count is 69 (and that is not counting those monsters with multiple stat blocks like Dragons). 61 monsters/npcs/deities in the Bestiary section and 8 elsewhere in the book - monsters in the bestiary are divided into sections (for reasons) and not listed alphabetically. *I keep adding new ideas - I can't help myself. As noted before, my CR's are 20% lower than WotC. By WotC standards the CR break downs are (and I am probably counting these wrong, the list I am reading off isn't in order of CR...and FWIW I'll probably change one or two CR's before release anyway): CR 9 or less = 5 (minion types) CR 10-19 = 15 (monsters you'll probably fight more than one of) CR 20-29 = 21 (monsters you probably won't fight in multiples unless your PCs are immortals, although several of these are unique beings) CR 30+ = 28 (Mega monsters, Anti-gods, Overgods, Indwellers, forgotten Arch-dukes etc.) About 60% of the book is the Bestiary, the rest is deity templates and rules, a new epic magic system, portfolios, mega monster rules and a ton of other stuff I won't go into. ;) Bit of Trivia: (Only) One monster from the original Epic Bestiary shows up in this book and it is CR 25 (my CR that is, it would be CR 32 by WotC standards) [/QUOTE]
