Just this reference: "For more information on monsters and how to read a monster’s statistics, see the D&D basic rules or the Monster Manual"So I'm thinking Legendary Monsters will be in the Basic PDF as well.I'm thinking Vampire Spawn, the next monster in the document, will be more like "regular" vampires, and the actual vampire entry represents a "master", like Dracula, and thus treated with the Legendary features.Side note about the Vampire: it's Bite attack is not something it can do as a "regular" attack against a hostile target. They have to grapple first, or the target must be unable to defend themselves (unconscious or incapacitated). I like this mechanic, though I'm sure it's been around a while (but not in 1E/2E, where "Bite" was just a standard attack.)However, it can grab/bite as part of the same multi-attack on its turn, and can then also grab and bite with the use of two separate Legendary Actions. So, potentially, twice a round. Then consider each bite heals the vampire 3d6 hit points... edit: on TOP of his Regen 20! Hard to keep a good vamp down!</blockquote>
