Possibly just an over sight.
I doubt it. The whole intro section on the history of the game Mike wrote is flat-out wrong. But it is the narrative that Gary pushed and it's caught hold of the fandom.
You should check out Matt Colville's action-oriented monsters. It's a similar idea, but a smoother execution.
Strong disagree. Mcdm doesn't give options and it's very scripted.
"Very scripted" like giving specific actions the monster takes on specific initiative counts?
Except there are choices in that block.... Choices. Villain actions are one action, no choice.
