[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 7190645, member: 12731"] All of that can still be true. But there's always a limit to what you can smooth over. Besides, we all know the truth - they really did not care, thinking "as long as nobody ever sees that Knight fighting, nobody will ever know the stat block is completely inadequate". It's just like Out of the Abyss all over again, where you're given Scouts (!) to "help" you move on Menzoberranzan and a bunch of Demon Lords. Pleeze. Bounded Accuracy and all, but those precious little babies have no place anywhere near monsters that can even slightly inconvenience a level 10-15 party. "How in the nine hells will we keep these greenhorns alive?!" is the only reasonable question. That, and "Can we return them before they break?". And that's the [I]charitable[/I] explanation. The incharitable explanation is that section was written by an intern that simply never realized [B]CR 3 NPCs don't hunt CR 9 monsters[/B]. What we don't need, though, is people trying to justify any of it. Again, I would not have brought it up if the text had shown even the slightest inkling that the outcome was unexpectedly favorable.
