[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 8664106, member: 6855114"] It was one but not the only one. Of course you remember only the one that you thought was me telling you (actually an other poster complaining about not having time) what you did not want to hear. Underlining the main spells you, as a DM are going to actually use against your players is but one other solutions. But they all involve some prep. Is what bugs you? That as a DM you have to prep a bit for a game? And again, these stat blocks were used in 4ed and there were people complaining that high level monsters were to hard to handle in numbers... And I was defending these same stat block back then. Once more my main grippe with these stat blocks is not the block themselves. But the fact the old books are now obsolete. Were they introduced in an updates edition of 5ed, I would have welcomed them. Again, I would have welcome them If they had been part of a 5.5ed.
