(I personally preferred the hybrid approach they tested in books like Descent into Avernus, where spellcasters still had spell slots but the spells that contributed to their CR were written out in full in their stat blocks, but I’ve gotten used to the new approach enough that I can tolerate it. I just don’t call attention to it when I use those monsters, and my players don’t seem to notice. The more experienced ones still assume the NPC casters use spell slots like their PCs do!)</blockquote>
