D&D (2024) Monster Manual Errata up.

This is pretty odd, but consistent with the 2014 version.

A 2014 Hobgoblin deals "5 (1d8 + 1) slashing damage, or 6 (1d10 + 1) slashing damage if used with two hands." plus 2d6 if they have the Martial Advantage. The Captain deals "9 (2d6 + 2) piercing damage" plus 3d6 if they get Martial Advantage.

2024 Hobgoblin deals "12 (2d10 + 1) Slashing damage." no martial advantage, but they have Pack Tactics now. The Captain deals "9 (2d6 + 2) Slashing damage plus 3 (1d6) Poison damage." and it always has advantage on attack rolls and saving throws as do any Hobgoblins within 10 feet of it.

Interesting that this doesn’t include the fact that the physical book gives the Druid stat block the “Druid” class tag but the DDB version doesn’t.

Not a lot there. See spoiler block.

I am a bit confused, the link says "Updated Stat Blocks: Creature stat blocks listed in the following products have been updated to align with the Monster Manual:" and one of the products listed is the PHB, but none of the statblocks mentioned are in it. Anyone have any idea if anything changed in the PHB at all?

I feel that the Hobgoblin and Red Dragon have weird damages.

Hobgoblins deal 2d10 damage which feels like a lot for a CR 1/2 monster, and the Captain does less.

The Red Dragon is similar in that the Young has a 2d6 + 1d6 Rend to the Adult's 1d10 + 2d4. Feels like like the Adult should be 2d8 + 2d6.

The damages were wrong, IMO, in 2014 too. They really do not do dragons well IMO. Though these area in general an improvement over 2014

I trust ENWorld to find more.

I found one already. The goblin entry says that they are "fey!"

I expect there will be more.

Wait actually with the exclamation point in the stat block?

Has this been done with the PHB?

Has this been done with the PHB?

As far as I can tell, no.

No. It is not.
I calculated it in my thread. It is between +50% damage (with ally adjacent) or +100% damage (without one).
