The Adventurer Conqueror King System™ Imperial Imprint (ACKS II) is the new edition of the acclaimed bestselling fantasy role-playing game. Built on more than 12 years of playtesting and hundreds of hours of methodical research and development, ACKS II is a three-volume D20 fantasy RPG that that offers everything you need to run epic fantasy campaigns with a sweeping scope.
This book, the ACKS II Monstrous Manual, is a 432-page compendium of the creatures found in the worlds of ACKS II. To make the Monstrous Manual a bestiary like no other, we returned to the primordial source material of myth and legend and re-created all the classic fantasy creatures from the ground up. In the Monstrous Manual you get:
- More than 290 monster entries, each featuring a full-page description of the creature's game statistics, combat abilities, habitat, reproduction, and spoils.
- Monster creation rules that reveal how to create your own ACKS II monsters using the same mechanics that the designers used.
- Monster taming and training systems that take into account monster intelligence and attitude, training complexity, and more.
- Monstrous henchman rules that let you level up your monstrous companions into fearsome sidekicks and allies.
- Monster part mechanics that let adventurers collect furs, ivory, and even magical components from slain monsters.
- In-character commentary and lore from the sages and explorers of the Auran Empire campaign setting.
- And much, much more!
Whether you expect your adventurers to fight monsters or breed them, the ACKS II Monstrous Manual is the bestiary of fantasy creatures you need!
