the
fiend folio was worth every penny. the few, non-
fluff,
creatures in the
fiend folio were very good. it's write-ups introduced
gamers to many great
humanoid cultures like
Drow and
Svirfneblin.
the entries on
Githzerai &
Githyanki were rich in detail and
plot devices, letting them survive to be used highly in
PlaneScape.
and the
fiend folio gave us
little jerky bastards like the
Jermlaine to teach
power gamers that
size doesn't matter.
