Deadliest Creatures? You Decide!

"Deadliest Creatures Tome" by Various.

Printed and Distributed by Fast Forward Entertainment.

ISBN-10: 1-932201-37-8 -- 128 Pages.

The cover of this book proudly exclaims: "The Most Dangerous Monsters Ever Designed for D20 Campaigns!"

Just in case you don't want to read any further, this book achieves its claim to fame.

After all these years, I have begun to believe that most role-playing game companies have produced at least one bestiary. This tome goes one step further, and produces some of the most dangerous creatures I have ever seen.

There are 60 new critters in this volume, ranging from the lowly Anakim (CR 1) to the almost unbelievable Deathstorm (CR 24). They are listed in alphabetical order by name.

Even one Anakim might be enough for almost any party of adventurers. Sure, they only have one hit point. But with a Dexterity of 28, characters might have a hard time hitting it.

The Young Feyoak looks enough like a Treant to fool almost anyone who is not familiar with this creature. And if a Wood Dryad chooses this tree as it's home, it is even more powerful. It was hard for me to believe that the Feyoak is only a CR 3 creature.

These two examples of the material serve as a great idea as to how this book will serve its stated purpose. But serve it cold, because I cannot remember this many =really= dangerous, deadly, creatures have ever been collected in a single book.

At the back is the OGL and one advertisement.

As usual, this book is a fine addition to my D20 collection. What's even better, with a little bit of homework from a GM, it could be used with almost any edition of D&D or Pathfinder. It really does deliver what it promises.

It's too bad that Fast Forward Games disappeared from the market, as many of these books also included online material which does not seem to be available anymore. However, these Fast Forward Entertainment books rarely disappoint me. If you want to really challenge your players and their characters you can't go wrong by getting this book. Highly Recommended.
