This Monster Hunter's Compendium combines "Van Richten's Guide to Vampires," "Van Richten's Guide to Werebeasts," and "Van Richten's Guide to the Created." In doing so it creates a wealth of information that allows any DM to throw a few curve balls to even the most jaded of Players. Vampires that bask in the sun, caste magic, and can look apon a holy symbol with no ill effects and yet be killed by the old standby of holy water. Contained within these pages is the instructions to create vampires and werebeast that cannot be killed with the information that everyone has. This guide is especially usefull if you have player or two who have a habbit of reading the Monster Manual in their spare time. I highly recomend this to anyone who wants to make the traditional "monsters" just a bit more frightening and a little less predictable.
