[Rant] Playing Monsters Poorly

Qua? Ghendar called it out. Do tell.

I think the new stat block layout helps a lot with things like Damage Reduction written on the same line as hit points. All the senses together. etc.

Actually, when I'm a player, I always remind the DM about monster powers (well, at least the passive ones like DR). The other players curse me as a traitor.

I'm bad with poisons. I remember to ask for the initial fort save, but unless it's a really long fight, I sometimes forget the second volley of saves some undetermined time after the party starts mopping up. Meh, poison's overused by monsters anyway.

Damn,poison I ALLWAYS forget that!
