[QUOTE="wlmartin, post: 5669509, member: 6679380"] NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! I like the detailed stat blocks. Sure they are a pain to print out sometimes and don't fit well if Copy+Pasted from the Monster Builder but if the alternative is trying to read their powers from an excel spreadsheet with no flavor, I choose stat blocks each time. ;) I do like the idea but am extremely resistant to it because it makes monsters a little less flavoursome.. it is the same thing I feel when i dont get to see an art picture of the monster in the MM... I have no idea (if i havent dealt with that mon before) what it looks like and if it fits the concept of my adventure... shrinking down the stat blocks and removing the cool flavor hurts my head. I do think that they could aid in helping people that want this shrinkage by providing a snippet type stat block that takes up no room but I wouldnt want them to publish it in replacement of [/QUOTE]
