I don't. My PC's make hundreds of gold, and I am supposed to tell them to buy arrows? Not what I am playing D&D for.

I don't need a singular answer. We just need to find what works for our table.

I think the answer is "whatever is fun to the players" and work your way back from there.

It looks like the page space prio was as follows: Stat block Art Lore So lore pulled the shortest straw if there was too much of the others. I never really read the lore, so I'm not that worried.

Hmmm, interesting take. I recently finished reading the whole 2025 MM and I like it. I can't say it improves on the lore. When there is space for a table and two or three paragraphs of lore, it's great. Sadly, that isn't the case for quite a few monsters. Cylcopes and Merfolk come to my mind...

I really like the visual design on it so far. If I can run 2-hr sessions for new players with this, I'll buy it and bring it to cons. Let's hope we hear more soon!

Why does anyone believe this art replaces all other art of mariliths? This exaggeration would obviously make one unhappy.

Ah, I see how this thread became the way it is.

Yeah, to me, it's just one artists interpretation. We have dozens more we can use. It's such a shame that so many on the forums are so entrenched in the idea of a singular representation of a single monster.

Poor Marilith. She doesn't wear her makeup one day and people are upset.

I don’t mind magic skipping some survival aspects. I would just remove the forcefield aspect from Tiny Hut, make it about safe shelter from the elements while being hidden, not a defensive position.

I know this is useless, but I FEEL like Witchlight will be a classic. It's an adventure for a different group of our community than the earlier ones. I only buy adventures after they've been out for a long while, when the community has looked at it, tasted it, chewed it out and spat it out...

I get that, for immersion sake, the Lich should have a big list of spells. After all, they have the motivation and the time to learn all of them. But a stat block at the table? I much rather have this. PC’s just have too many abilities and power to push through and nuke a lich. The old one...

Scheduling should have been at the top of this list.

Cool, let's hope it turns out well. I don't need a series to enjoy my hobby more, but a good fantasy series is always welcome. I'm just not sure if they can pull it off. Game of Thrones jumped the shark, Rings of Power didn't work for me and I couldn't get into The Witcher. Those are some of...

Magmin! Evil critters who are perfect little fire minions. Plus they explode!

Hey folks can we cool down a bit? ECM03 is sharing their experiences, which is a really nice thing to do. Yes they might play the game differently than you do. Take away from that what you will. I already learned that I should not give players free reign to pick magic items, and I'll need to...

Yeah it will be fine at tier 3-4, but earlier than that and it causes issues. Mostly because it's always the AC stacking character who tries to get it, making a huge AC imbalance.

Your experience isn't the same as mine. I am happy this is not an issue at your table. I don't care what is intended. I care about my experience at my table.

+3 AC at late tier 2 would ruin my encounter design. Yes, damage is king, but I don't think you see how terrible every combat is when the monsters just can't hit a PC. It lowers the stakes and makes a fight boring. I have been there. Every fight I went through the motions of monsters...
