[QUOTE="pantsorama, post: 8749521, member: 7033888"] But the monsters operate under a different rubric. Many PC abilities persist across encounters / a days. There is a meta game where the players need to decide how much effort to expend on this encounter. A monster should never have that consideration. They leave it all on the floor every time. PC are playing a season, monsters are playing a one-off match. So crits are a PC ability that fire randomly and are not a depleting resource (with some edge cases - eg Reckless Attack does not deplete, but using it to crit fish has consequence for a depleatable resources - namely HPs). So lumping them with resources that replenish with short or long rests is flawed, IMO. They seem fundamentally different from those other PC bennies you mentioned. On the other hand, I can see where you say they are a straight up power boost for PCs (if the monsters don't get them) But if you take them away for the PCs, will you take away the abilities the monsters get to replace crits too? Besides - they nerfed them for PCs anyway. And that is a good thing, if you give the crits other knock on effects. [/QUOTE]
