Lots of cool stuff in this book and is just what a Narrator or GameMaster needs to DM in A5E, or to simply expand your o5e game!

A good adventure to get yourself into Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition, showing you new things of this system, and how everything all works. A wonderful book for a DMing wanting to dip their toes in A5E and test the waters!

This is a great book for someone who wants a bit more depth in 5e, without going all the way to PF2e.

• Character Creation being split into Heritage, Culture, Background and Destiny. Makes character creation more meaningful, and no baggage of races, all heritage! Having it split into those 4 things makes all character creation more impactful that even if you chose the same heritage, things will be different between the two.
• Giving heritages choices once you choose them, then a paragon gift at level 10(a choice between a few things)
• Destiny, giving something for your character to strive for, and a way to get inspiration and use it for a cool ability!
• All the classes you know and love with a new facelift!
• Invocation like features throughout all the classes, giving meaningful choices every level up!
• Combat Manuevers for melee relating classes, (think battlemaster from o5e, but part of the class for fighter and other classes get a bit of them)
• Expanded equipment, makes weapons, armors and shields special as they are not just a die to hit with, gives special attributes for everything.
• Information about building and maintaining a stronghold.
• Information about gaining followers that help you as you adventure.
• Multiclassing and feats, feats expanded and new ones too such as synergy feats that can make multiclassing more viable as these feats have requirement of multiple classes as well as feats for becoming a vampire and the like.

A lot of cool things in this book, I myself love it!

Wow, what can I say!

EnPublishing changes the game with their Monstrous Menagerie. Making all the monsters in this book feel special, and not just a rehash of claw and bite attacks. Adding information that is useful to the players about the monsters examples being...

• Legends and Lore of the monsters. (DC for finding information 10-20)
• Example Encounters
• Signs of this creature in area.
• Behavior of this creature.
• What this creature does in combat.
• Then the awesome statblock!

This is not a book you want to miss, even if you do not like the rest that Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition has to offer.
