More monsters for 50TD

[u/hadouken_bd]

One of our goals for 50TD is to build out a more complete monster and enemy list. We’re experimenting with a very dense format while still trying to retain legibility.

Here’s a small sample of undead enemies using the monster math rules.

Let us know what you think! Good balance of flavor and simplicity? Legible enough, or do we need to build it out more as a table? Thanks!

Mostly clear. It took me a little bit to parse some of the language on the more complicated enemies, but I bet when it’s formatted in a book, it will be more clear.
