I was wondering if the compendium in the toolbox has every monster revamped to accomidate the changes made in the Essentials line.  Someone told me that the monsters in Monster Manual 3 and anything made after that are better balanced.

Also, is there any sort of adventure making software?  I would love to have my written adventures look like the onese that Wizards makes.  I know I can simply create a template in photoshop or word, but I'm sure there is program out there that helps.

Thanks.

Only the ones who have seen new publication since MM3.  So, the Purple Worm is updated in the Compendium, but a random creature from Dungeon 167 likely isn't.

Yeah anything that got reprinted is going to show it's most current version. None of the others were updated.
