I am really not fighting the same monster, I am fighting some nerfed carboard facsimile. 'We know you couldn't kill a real ogre, so here's this ogre shaped balloon you can kill and pretend to be a big damn hero.' I feel it is failure of the system if it requires such a kludge instead of things scaling so that the characters can actually easily kill the same creature super easy at higher levels. Furthermore, whilst I don't expect particularly high level simulationism from D&D, the same creature having different rules depending on who it fights is a bridge too far for me. Imagine if that same ogre would face a combined group of high and low level characters; what rules it would have then?I definitely prefer 5e's bounded accuracy resulting low level monsters being usable even at high levels without such awkward kludges.</blockquote>
