[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 7106851, member: 12731"] I will never get this sentiment. Have you even looked at the monsters in Monster Manual?! 5e monsters are heavily geared towards melee and monsters generally have much more limited access to the ranged tools available to player characters. Sure you can hand pick the few monster types with decent, good and stellar attack modes that work at long range; but in my opinion most DMs and pre-written campaigns won't. Other than that, ranged combat is only that good to NPCs and monsters with class levels, and many DMs will go entire campaigns without using even one of those. So no, just because something is good for the players does not mean it's good for the monsters as well. This is not a symmetrical game. Most peasants and goblins and umber hulks and whatnot would kill for the awesome abilities available to player characters. But they will never get them in most campaigns.
