[QUOTE="gban007, post: 9558454, member: 56488"] WOTC isn't sharing these stat blocks out of the goodness of their heart (and I guess that means I hope they have disclaimers in each article saying they have a financial interest in releasing these stat blocks) but to drum up interest / encourage people to buy the monster manual, suggesting that WOTC at least feels these stat blocks are enough for people to make a buying decision based on (and indeed I've seen a number of posters day they want to get the MM based on the art and statblocks shown, including myself - probably first MM I've been excited to get since 3e, rather than one i just needed to play the game) , so I think completely fair that some people will look at the stat blocks and determine that it isn't usable enough for them. Otherwise you seem to be suggesting no one should be buying the MM until some poor guinea pig as bought it and played using it for say 6 months or so before determining whether they should get it. The number of pre-orders already in place suggest many people aren't going to wait for that sort of info before purchase, so can only rely on information provided to date. [/QUOTE]
