Edit- nevermind

Yeah that's what I meant? I only meant that maybe in some previous edition they did.

You'd think that! It's pretty clear they don't build monsters this way. Looking at most other NPC statblocks will tell you this. CR6 mages have 18 HD. HD are no longer connected to class level in any way. CR is no longer connected to class levels in any way. Monsters are not connected to class...

Each member? Not the impression I had. Maybe more like half of them?

Really? The 2024 monsters have seen significant improvements in power from tier 2 onwards. My experience is that it has never been easier to challenge PC's that now, since we have the 2025 MM.

Well what happened you can read all about in his post. There's not much more to it. The game's fine and fun, just a little bit different. The 2014 books are still great, but the 2024 ones aren't worse.

I have seen some of the frustrations Keith has with the revision on some Discords before, and I understand him. I think he's just left behind in another way of playing the game. When I read How To Defend Your Lair by him this summer, I bounced off of it hard. There is nothing in that book that...

Yeah this is getting confusing for me. I wasn’t talking about the lazy stuff. In any case, the OP got upset enough to rename the thread, it seems.

I didn’t dismiss the criticism. OP just doesn’t like that his criticism can be criticized. Like, I can’t even be honest and say “I don’t mind” something. If barbarians would or would not have mastery for ranged weapons, I would have no strong feelings about it. I had never considered it before...

No, asking for someone’s experience is a very normal thing to do. I looked at all of your points, reflected on them and ask questions. Why call that lazy? Just because I don’t agree with you?

Have you played 2024 D&D yet?

I wrote him here and got an answer within a couple hours.
