[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 8661483, member: 6855114"] The basic foes are quite nice for my needs as they are in the MM right now. If I need to make a change it is what? A minute or two? A spell selection here and there and voilà ! It is done.

Now I need to add spell slots, choose the spells and new abilities and compare these new abities to the current stat block and the evaluate with the guidelines in the DMG if I did a good approximated job.
