Message: <blockquote data-quote="RenleyRenfield" data-source="post: 9719863" data-attributes="member: 7044197">Because that too is simply wrong.   Where are people dredging up this nonsense?  Is there some crusty reddit thread trolling somewhere?Anyway...There are no comments about monster design = because its very good design.  Here are a couple examples from Numenera. They have all the typical stuff, Health points, Armor, To-Hit rating (which is also to-dodge or avoid rating = its the TR number), special attacks,  special effects, how they attack, special modifications, where you might find one,  how to interact with them, what their story is, and what loot they might have. All monsters are detailed in a way that lets the GM decide if this will be a murder encounter or some negotiation, or even an exchange.So NO... there is no ambiguity here. And the monster entries even utilize the Environment and Exploration rules to keep things related to the location at hand!Remember: Intellect pool is also your ability to read a person/thing, negotiate, and tactically analyze a creature! ......For folks worried about "Only Players Roll Dice" = it works great!   It's actually more fun for the GM because you get to narrate the attacks and the movements of the enemies as tactically and dynamically as you like (use and abuse those zones, GM's! ) = and then the players have to roll to see how they avoid the dangers/ attacks / problems. This also makes it a LOT easier to run the encounter, as you can more easily judge the flow of combat and not get bogged down in making rolls against yourself at times.</blockquote>
