I definitely like the UA unicorn, but I am curious why is it no longer a Legendary creature?U can only be for one thing.... Unicorn!
So it looks like the LU one absorbed a lot of the legendary characteristics. The healing is a part of its action suite and they just increased the AC by 2 instead of the shimmering shield.I definitely like the UA unicorn, but I am curious why is is no longer a Legendary creature?
Yes, I noticed that as well. I was just wondering why the change. I have an idea of why you might, but I was just wondering what their rationale was.So it looks like the LU one absorbed a lot of the legendary characteristics.

Obviously everyone's experience is different, but the general consensus on this forum is that monster's from WotC (and in particular the MM monsters) are too weak for their stated CR. Personally I am less worried about HP and AC and would like to see them inflict more damage. Regardless, do not expect LevelUp to bloat or buff PCs more, it is just not needed (IMO and the majority of people on this forum).I see an increase in hp and armor class all over the board. I cannot say that this pleases me unless there is an equivalent effect in the output of the pcs. HP bloat is an issue with this edition. Will LU increase it even further?
Our resident monster expert Paul Hughes has completed revised the monster math throughout from the ground up, ensuring that monsters match their CR and the encounter building tables are correctly balanced. This means that every monster has had changes, some small, some much bigger. In many cases, monsters were too weak for the CR and were adjusted accordingly, including new abilities or changes to HP, AC, damage output, attacks, DCs, and more. The values are all carefully calculated for the monster's CR.I see an increase in hp and armor class all over the board.

Yes, this is an interesting design choice that I actually like a lot. I also like (I think) how they integrated the charge damage with the attack.So it looks like the LU one absorbed a lot of the legendary characteristics.
