D&D 5E Princes of the Apocalypse - PDF references

[Skyscraper]

Has WotC published PDF reference documents for Princes of the Apocalypse? I'm thinking mostly about new monsters stats, although new items would also be useful. Because, I don't see myself flipping through the pages of the book during fights, even if creatures of a same cult are gathered in a same place.

This said, I notice on the Princes of the Apocalypse page of the WotC website that they provide an "adventure supplement". The monsters in there appear to be all taken from the Monster Manual. What's this for? There are a number of monsters in there, but many do not appear to be in the adventure at all (for example the Lich) and some are in the adventure but not in there (for example, the Bandit). I have not read through all the Princes of the Apocaypse adventure yet, so maybe I'm not understanding something - thanks for pointing out the purpose of this supplement to me.

Thanks!

The adventure supplement you linked to is for DMs who want to run the Princes of the Apocalypse campaign but do not have access to the DMG or MM. Each AP is intended to be playable using only the free basic rules so they release this resource this resource so the adventure can be run without further purchases. Each item and monster detailed in the resource shows up in the adventure but the adventure does not contain its stats.

As for monster and items new to the Princes of the Apocalypse adventure, I do not believe they are available in pdf form outside the adventure. However, they did release a player's companion that can be downloaded for free (it is the player's companion listed in the link you posted). This pdf contains player options (new races and spells) that first appeared in this adventure.

I see thank you. Too bad.

There is a lich in the adventure. The bandit is already in the Dungeon Master's Basic Rules.
