The 4th Printing

This is the fourth printing and represents the first real substantive changes to the game . . . but nothing so much as to make earlier printings obsolete. In the 4th Printing you will find a revised Barbarian. The Barbarian lacked proper balance in the game; we’ve worked hard to address these issues. Also, the Illusionist class is given a might jolt with over 45 new spells added to their spell roster. You’ll get far more traction out of these spells and make illusion a real part of your game. Also we are touching up the Monk class, changing the presented material to better reflect different styles of hand to hand warriors.

Castles & Crusades Monsters and Treasure is a core rule book for the Castles & Crusades Role Playing Game. It is designed to be used with the Castles & Crusades Players Handbook. In it, you will find a wealth of information about roleplaying monsters, handling combat with monsters, creating monsters and defining and awarding treasures. Monsters & Treasure is divided into two parts.

Part One brings to you, the Castle Keeper, a host of monsters that you can use to populate your adventures and your campaign world. Listed alphabetically, they include monsters like the ever popular dragons, orcs, and giants, as well as unusual creatures like the chimera, the lamia, and the shambling mound. Each monster is fully described, complete with important statistics, for your ease of use.

Part Two deals with the adventurer’s favorite topic: treasure. For your reference, this section discusses specific treasures that can be found by brave and enterprising adventurers, and provides advice about how to award them. This section also contains a discussion about the mundane or extraordinary items that can comprise treasure, rules for the creation of magic items in Castles & Crusades, and random treasure charts to serve as an aid for the Castle Keeper.
