[QUOTE="ferratus, post: 5778189, member: 55966"] I don't understand Dragons being considered watered down. In 4e they have the same rechargeable breath weapons, multiple attacks, and great defenses that they've always had. I can see an argument for them being too powerful, but not watered down. It is hard to imagine a setting like Dragonlance with the stats of 4e dragons, but you could see a 1e dragon being cowed by a strong rider. Rot Grubs recovered their mojo in 4e as well, and are my favourite 4e monster. You really feel like you are being eaten alive by a 4e rot grub. I pretty much agree on the rest, save that single element elementals did [I]eventualy[/I] (and bregrudingly) come back late in 4e's run. I didn't mind archons myself, since they filled the same role, but I understand why it would upset a purist. [/QUOTE]
