I'm the one holding up the Bestiary. I'm still working on it, and there are still a few weeks of work left on it.

One of the primary issues is that we have to get every special ability for every monster coded correctly and tested, with all the appropriate adjustments being made. There are a huge number of abilities and we underestimated the volume, so that's proving to be much more time-consuming than we first expected. There were a few other surprises as well, but those have been resolved, so it appears to be just a matter of slogging through the remaining creatures at this point.

The good news is that you'll be able to construct your own monsters from all the assorted abilities quite easily. You'll also be able to use all these abilities as examples for how to readily create your own custom abilities.

This project is Mathias' #1 priority, so it will be out as quickly as it can be finished.
