Again, if that is your experience I think your group is doing something wrong. Common occurrences, with the correct descriptive flare, need not be boring. And it is easy enough to make hitting / dealing damage less likely too.

We will have to agree to disagree on this one. I found the pictures in the link much more interesting. They seem possibly difficult to use as dice, but much more interesting just to look at.

You do seem to have more problems than about anyone else I know of though. Make one wonder.

The silly little disclaimer they had on every book.

That dragon is compact, but really hard to read unfortunately.

What are PP and DV?

Then I guess you haven’t been following computer generated art much! IDK, but these look like in progress / concept art that WotC does, not final art

My point is the CR calculator works and what Mearls is saying is using CR for encounter building doesn’t work. Those sre different things and can both be true. One is a system for determine a monsters CR. The other is a system for determining a combat’s difficulty. Which actually uses XP not...
