Yin Yang Panda – Tattooed Monks in Review
The PDF lacks bookmarks and, though short, has enough sections that these would have been useful. The Table of Contents covers the major sections. Navigation is okay. The text maintains a single column format and appeared to be free of errors. There are no illustrations. Presentation is adequate.
Though this supplement does contain a decent amount of fluff on the monks, the tattoos also have useful game effects, giving characters new options. Yin Yang Panda – Tattooed Monks is a decent little supplement and it can be found by clicking here.
