[QUOTE="Lucas Yew, post: 7793671, member: 6777286"] That's good, I actually once planned to do the exact same thing. ...With the caveat that while the number of SRD-compatible monsters with "wrong" Proficiency are staggering alone, there is also Spells and Class Features that deal with that [I]detestable floating value[/I] known as CR (such as the summoning spells and Turn Undead); why, WotC, why not HD...? And that one major issue made me decide to give up on staying with 5E despite its immense ease with playing (plus my totally satisfying/memorable first long-term campaign experience, to boot) and bide my time for now, if I'm remembering correctly... I do want to GM someday, so my opinion counts, no? And yeah, I know non-playables do play generally by the same rules, unlike 4E (whence all monsters since MM3 always struck AC with a Level+5 bonus, struck the "save" defenses with a Level+3 bonus, [I]regardless of their Ability bonuses[/I]... Ugh... And don't even mention their skills or "exchanging stat blocks"). At least now there are official Rarity rules for legally justifying NPC exclusive flashy action choices / spells, and now that's quite acceptable. And NO Health-Damage Asymmetry (casually observed in Starfinder and 4E) is always rated from good to perfect in my book. [/QUOTE]
