I hope so.As it stands, it sounds like a good number of statblocks are making it to 5.5, or will be radically altered so nothing looks like any particular species.
It just occurred to me. What are they doing with the Drow? Wouldn't they be humanoids like elves, or are splitting them again? If they are humanoids, shouldn't their statblocks be pulled from the monster section and homogenized too?
At least in the MM 2014, there are CR 1/4 drows and they are only going up to CR 8 for the Priestess.
Those can easily be covered by generic NPC stat blocks with standard drow traits added and basic drow poison (which is already in the DMG 2024).
But as soon as you get to splat books, drows are level 13 to 20.
Yes, a drow matron mother should be powerful, but it somehow bothers me, that the CR span for being drow is sooo big. Just because they are drow.
I'd rather have a chosen of Loth stat block instead. That way it is clear that it is the caretaking of a god which makes them a bit more powerful, not something inherent.
