Huh, I suppose shifting it from the DMG to the MM gives me some hope that the table will be decently representative of the monsters. Shame, though, I was hoping to be able to get a chunk of my stuff updated by February.

I have a powerful need to know in what ways the "Creating a Creature" CR table (p. 56 I think?) has changed. Not specifics necessarily, but what general trends do you see in changes to hit points and damage at each tier of play?

Got some themed necromancers for each of those, too Skeletons Zombies Necromancers

Ooh, doing them as a swarm is a really good idea.

The nupperibo is kind of the "beefy lemure" in my view. I honestly am stumped on actual lemures, since their lore can be pretty tidily summed up with "totally useless", unless they've got a cool magazine article about them I haven't read. Blights Nupperibo Commoner
