In general, there's a lot of changes I despise with new monsters, and a few other rules changes, namely the removal of "magical weapons" which imo causes more problems than it solves. Still though, I really don't like the idea of caster monsters having boatloads of hp, making it more of a slog to get through combat.And on initiative, they're all specific class features for your choices that your particular pc has dedicated to. I am completely fine with giving initiative bonuses to legendary creatures, they actually deserve that one tbh, but a simple arcanaloth? What did it ever do to deserve a boost for that? That's artificial.I'm still most infuriated by the spellcasting and fiendish burst though, given that applies to basically every other spellcaster monster. The CR derived from their powerful spells, not because they had powerful spells and also an incredibly overpowered and unobtainable eldritch blast because screw player casters amiright?</blockquote>
