The books in this series (Cooper’s Compendium of Corrected Creatures) were very helpful in bring my D&D 3.5 Edition Monster Manual up to standard with the d20 System from which it originates. Cooper's books should not have had to been made if Wizards of the Coast were studious about their own creations. This project reveals how badly WotC edited and policed their own writers and developers, a behavior that continued through re-release of the 3.5 Core Rulebooks and throughout the Fourth Edition run of D&D.
Cooper’s Compendium of Corrected Creatures makes me feel confident I am running my encounters/monsters with their proper skill and feats applied. At some point, I will compare Cooper's work to Paizo's Pathfinder Bestiary for my own piece-of-mind (and amusement).
