Interesting, I guess it makes sense since they're fiends.  It also gives us a reason to have two different entries now instead of them just being mirror images with a different sex.  I can now see an Incubus being a real pain if it just focuses on hit-and-run tactics to stop short rests, especially since it can also enter dreams to stop a long rest.   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f608.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":devilish:" title="Devil    :devilish:"  data-smilie="29"data-shortname=":devilish:" /> Knight gets 2 attacks whether melee or ranged but other than that unchanged, while ogre is exactly the same.  But ogres already were pretty nasty for their CR.I think overall simplification is a good idea, even for things like the green dragon where it just now has rend.  Yes, we don't distinguish between a poisonous bite and the claws, but does it really matter unless reach matters?  It's certainly easier to run when you don't have to worry about which body part it's attacking with even if it does reduce flavor a bit.I suspect the bigger changes we'll see like what we have with the adult green dragon where there's more design space and they needed beefing up.  Seems like they're relatively happy with low level monsters.</blockquote>
