[QUOTE="MrMyth, post: 5264280, member: 61155"] Because the Goblin Sneak will have a different stat-block than the Goblin Blackblade. Which means new players can buy it and have iconic monsters to run, and current players can buy it and have new options to use. Rather than it coming out with outright rewrites of the monster stat blocks in the MM1, which would invalidate the existing books for current players and force them to buy the new content to stay up to date. Instead, they can use it to expand their collection, or stick with what they already have. Seems fair to me. Now, that's just my theory, of course, and I'm honestly not sure how they'll handle Dragons - but just like the MM2 didn't replace the MM1 because it had a Bugbear Wardancer in it (and the MM1 had a Bugbear Strangler), I see plenty of room for them to include versions of monsters that are both new and iconic.
