This is just changing some terms and clarifying meaning, but not totally re-inventing the wheel. It is exactly what the designers told us, just a revision, not a new edition.Point taken, but when you get down to it, none of the changes were "necessary". We've been playing 3E for over two years now, and while some things were imperfect, it was still a viable system. Nothing is being changed out of necessity, but simply because the changes can make the game better.In the case of the pit fiend, according to the rules nothing was broken in its stats, but there's more than just rules to look for. There is the intent of the monster. It's my opinion that pit fiends should be stronger than just CR 16, and given that assumption (which seems to be the one the revision team had in mind when rewriting this monster), this new pit fiend is a very good thing.I didn't expect the monsters to be revised to the level that we've seen with this pit fiend, but so far, while I have concerns, I haven't seen anything that gives me any real cause to complain.</blockquote>
