[QUOTE="dave2008, post: 8794236, member: 83242"] But you don't have to make those changes. In fact, many 3PP monsters don't follow the current or future statblock format and they work great. LevelUp monsters have their own format and work just great with O5e and will work with '24 5e (from everything we know so far). I even asked Morrus about the statblock changes previewed he said they had no plans to change the levelUp format and didn't see a need to. MCDM's "Flee Mortals" had a $2 million kickstarter and they will use their own statblock that doesn't match current ones or future ones and are expected to be used with both. I think you are vastly overstating the need, and effort, to make statblock changes. Now classes I think will be in the similar boat (can't be sure yet), but I think there will be more "pressure" to follow the new format. However, I don't see how writing to the new format will be more difficult than writing to the old one. It may be even easier. Now if your talking about a transitional product, a 3PP may need to revise a subclass or class to follow the '24 standard. That doesn't seem like it will be a lot of work yet, but it is hard to know, and it should just be a one time thing. [/QUOTE]
