[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6052633, member: 57383"] Most of the monsters with Lesser & Greater versions are like that because their AD&D originals were divided into Lesser & Greater creatures, and the Least/Lesser/Greater monsters also mostly had multiple statblocks in their AD&D incarnations too. The Quakebeasts had an age category table in their original presentation, similar to a Dragon. We're not giving Dragons separate CC entries for every age category, are we. :p Besides, it just seems [I]inefficient[/I] to me on a "monsters-per page" basis. All three of the Quakebeasts would have to have a copy of the background/combat text, which seems needless duplication. That'd occupy a lot more space if we turn it into a pdf or if anyone wants to print them out. That's more a personal preference than a serious obstacle though - they don't occupy much space in their digital CC version. A more significant reason is I don't fancy rewriting the combat entry to make three different versions for each age category. ;) [/QUOTE]
