4.5 stars, rounded up.
Wide range of NPCs, from grim to silly.
3 short adventures also included, in case Ashworth's entire book of encounters wasn't sufficient.
The 5 random NPC generation tables are useful for the DM who wants more flexibility than a fully fleshed-out character.
Worth the price for M'Palu and his Hotpants of Distraction, alone.
Half a star deducted for the lack of an index. Finding a specific NPC on the fly is a nightmare. 4.5 stars, rounded up.

I think it was a really good book. It is about characters you can use as npcs in dnd games. There are full descriptions of characters like their inventory, what they look like, and background info in general! I do recommend this book to nerds and everyone else.

This is an excellent book for any DM or fan of Dungeons & Dragons. It is jam-packed with tons of interesting characters as well as three one-shots! Highly recommend picking this one up!
