Does it just make the monsters tougher and hit harder, or does it add more monsters as well?

TIA

It doesn't do a lot. As I recall, monsters are tougher but they don't give any more XP or treasure. I think you might also get less XP. Unless you're looking for a non-HoF challenge, give it a miss. It wasn't thought out well, IMO.

AFAIK they just do more damage:

+50% on increased
+100% on max.
