[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8126078, member: 93670"] The example of magic resist cold resist fore immune nonmagic weapon attack resist creatre I pulled was cr four, hardly "high level" & far from an aberration. Those "gimp the fighter monsters" are almost completely missing from 5e & out of the few borderline "maybe if you squint" ones nearly all of them take full damage once the "fighter" has a magic weapon of any kind with few exceptions [spoiler="Here's one"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1605373736527.png"]128507[/ATTACH] [/spoiler] and it was so traumatizing that the statblock itself literally declares that killing it [spoiler='awards these"'] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1605373855693.png"]128508[/ATTACH] [/spoiler] do give some examples of these "gimp the fighter" monsters that justify wotc designing monsters like 5e casters are still operating on 3.5 caster type footing. It's even better if you can give them in context of how wotc uses them in HC adventures given the near whiteroom thought experiment level "no reasonable gm would design like that" descent into avernus caster hostility martial friendly HC both the examples I posted came from. [USER=59057]@UngeheuerLich[/USER] there are virtually no monsters that "have great AC and DR to bludgeoning, slashing and piercing" because nearly all of them cancel the b/p/s resist with the words "nonmagical".
