Designed to rest on the top of your DM screen, these 30 encounter cards feature all-new gorgeous artwork on the front and DM info on the back. DM info includes the full D&D stat block and exclusive Beadle & Grimm’s Tactical Tips.

Tactical Tips are combat hints for the DM provided in collaboration with award-winning monster combat blogger Keith Ammann.

"Never go into battle without a plan! With the Tactical Tips on these Encounter Cards, you'll never have to wonder what your monsters and NPCs are trying to do or how they should go about it. They know what they're doing—and so will you!"
