[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9576329, member: 7006"] If people really need a standard Orc or Lizardman statblock for their games... you can always just use your 5E14 Monster Manual statblock. No one is going to care that you used a product outside of the 5E24 books. Or if you don't want your Lizardman Geomancer to be classified under the 'elemental' umbrella so that your player can cast Hold Person on it... then you can just take the category off. No one is going to care that you do that. Sure, people can ask why WotC made these changes... but it doesn't actually matter what the answer is, does it? No matter how they respond, you are still going to have to change it yourself if you don't like it. So why waste your time getting all worked up about it? Spend the few moments you'd normally spend writing a screed here on the boards to pull your 5E14 MM off your shelf and use that, or take a pen and cross out whatever monster categories you don't like in the 5E24 MM.
