[QUOTE="Evenglare, post: 6336222, member: 63245"] Your right, but I general have a rather large set of encounter tables. I used to have them smaller but we started getting into "Oh... goblins... again... yawn". SO for instance we have goblins, humans (with possibly wizards / sorcerers/ druids/ clerics and whatever else), perhaps a dragon? Maybe a demon? The lists go on and on, and spell blocks with no information are really awful. They KNEW this in 4e, it's why monster design was so great, and they seems to have just said **** it. How about detailing the useful spells at the beginning or end of the monster section? So okay, I'll make a concession, let's say that you are alright with monster spells not being detailed anywhere but the handbook. That's cool, but what about when new books come out, just about every single splat is probably going to have SOME kind of spell. More monster manuals have more monsters which use those spells from those other splat books. Then it's just a big cluster(mess) of monsters from many monster books that rely on many spell books distributed everywhere. And then I guess at the end of the edition we will get a spell compendium which is basically a reference book for our monster reference books. No thanks. I'll just take my spell in my monster block thanks! :) [/QUOTE]
