[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 8661413, member: 6855114"] Nope, it is slowly reverting to 4ed. That is how the monsters in 4ed worked. I loved 4ed, but that train has passed and left its mark for good or bad. The thing that bugs me to no end with the old/new stat block is that it us a profound change in the starting philosophy of 5ed. Monsters were having spell like abilities and character like foes would have class abilities. Yes there were a few exceptions but most foes were following the basic guidelines. And all were fine. Now every foes will have spell like abilities and that change in philosophy is deep enough to warrant a full new edition. But WotC is afraid of going 6ed because it does not know how people would react to it and 5ed sells so well still... Why take risks? Just change the edition bit by bit and see how far we can push the changes... When enough changes will have been swallowed by the players, they will send us a nice new edition that will look exactly like 5.xed... I simply wish that 5ed be left as it was and that WotC had the courage to throw the edition the developing team has in mind instead of perverting further the game we had in 2015. Let them throw at us 6ed and we will see what the players truly want. The 5ed philosophy or the new philosophy that the dev team wants to take. [/QUOTE]
