The Iron Heroes BattleBox contents include:

Great heroes need great foes! The Iron Heroes Bestiary contains more than 30 new monsters designed for use in Iron Heroes. They fill a variety of roles, from intelligent, thinking foes to brutal, mindless beasts that spread misery and destruction. What they all have in common is a mixture of martial and arcane power to challenge the player characters.

The book also includes some basic advice on using monsters in Iron Heroes, such as mathematical methods you can use to judge whether a creature offers the proper threat to the party and new feats designed to work with monster abilities.

The Iron Heroes Bestiary also presents several new villain classes, an innovative concept introduced in Mastering Iron Heroes. Villain classes are a useful tool for generating challenging NPC villains or opponents for the PCs with a minimum of work. And don't miss the comprehensive monster table, featuring all published Malhavoc Press monsters!

Compatible with Iron Heroes and any game that uses d20-based mechanics.
