[QUOTE="Dungeonosophy, post: 8022125, member: 6688049"] Very interesting. Keep 'em comin' JT and ENWorld! In regard to the dialed-down Avatars and "cave dinosaurs", in "my 6th Edition" literally every monster comes in scalable versions from 1st through 20th level (or even up to 100th level). Each monster has its entire panoply of powers, from all editions, and significant fluff from all the monster lore is converted into playable crunch. But any particular representative of that monster may have only one of those powers (or twenty or a hundred of those powers), and may be any size (from tiny to gargantuan). A 1st level Avatar of Asmodeus or Demogorgon might just an impish little thing (a "mini-me" version) with just one low-level power which matches the theme. Likewise, all varieties of dinosaur are scalable from 1st level to 100th level. Same for all monsters. A DM can just pick the monster, pick its level, and choose from the table of graded powers (or roll randomly). Of course all monsters in my 6th edition can be mixed and matched as well, as hybrid templates! Want a 3rd-level Nothic 1/Avatar of Asmodeus 1/Tyranosaurus Rex 1? No problem. I can hardly wait till "my 6th edition" comes out! :) [/QUOTE]
