Is anyone else struck by the fact that there seem to be massive holes in the options for monsters of a particualr type for a particular Challenge Rating?
For example: I am designing an encounter, and I need several undead at specific CRs. Well. They don't exist. MM, MM2, FF... not there. ???? how can this be. Surely the designers at WoTC considered to create at least one monster of each type from abberations to undead to fill every CR? Nope. They didnt.
This is maddening! I know that you can advance monsters, but it's not the same, and if you are writing for publication (which is the case here), there is pressure to keep word count within limits, and statblocking all over the place adds considerably to size, without adding any new content. Same with creating a monster, but that is probably what I will do.
If any WoTC designers are reading this... a request for the forthcoming MM3: Please consider filling in the gaps in CR for each monster type.
