Legend
I've been tinkering with ways to incorporate lower and mid CR creatures to have legendary actions and lair actions. What are everyone's thoughts on that? does it make the stat blocks too busy? or do you prefer to those options? I think I'm really leaning towards having lair actions to a lot of creatures, as it helps give guidance on incorporating the environment into the combat encounter, which I'm a huge fan of, and have seen less and less of over the years. I.e., I'm seeing a lot more people just go from encounter to encounter, only incorporating monster abilities into the combat while the actual environment gets ignored.
Here is an example of the Black Annis that has lair actions involved, as sort of a rough idea of where I'm going with this.
