[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 9089996, member: 93670"] I dunno, it remains to be seen if there is anything of value there. We are in a thread where we just saw multiple posters imply I was being too optimistic by having a little hope that wotc might do better by GMs this time around... Heck wotc appear to have reversed course entirely & embraced short rest nova class design a single packet after a long separation process they started way back at tashas & finally fired off the packet prior. I don't need [I]another[/I] book of monsters incapable of providing a challenge to PCs they are woefully statted to face. Nor do I need another book of CR#/# toCRxx of monsters designed for bounded accuracy out of the misguided idea that anyone wants to run or fight dozens of useless monsters & cheeze their way through high CR monsters with tier1 PCs. It's great that wotc is talking about giving us monsters across multiple CRs... but it's not exactly a blazing torch of certainty that those monsters will be up top snuff when they do it privately behind relatively [spoiler="closed doors"] [MEDIA=twitter]1687488914032828418[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=twitter]1687489400521797632[/MEDIA] [/spoiler] and wotc doesn't seem to be laying any real mechanical groundwork to support those kinds of goals in the 6 packets we have seen, even stuff like the flight changes (packet6 pg72) are so uncertain of themselves that they seem to be intentionally failing at actually doing much of anything at the table during actual play*.
