Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal
For how little space it takes up, it's a fantastic add.
I use it for narrative and descriptive purposes.
I use it for knowing the target of spells like Heat Metal.
I use it when the party wants to scavenge equipment off dead foes.
I use it (and weapons under Actions) to highlight leaders as well as excuse changes to their AC & damage.
And that's just common usage. Last session they ambushed foes in their sleep and it presented a perfect way to reward players for what they did, in that many were not wearing their armor and I dropped AC.
That some of these could be replaced with a number is true. But that number, while meeting gamist needs, would be detached from the narrative. Having a number that meets both with a trivial costs seems like a win.
