Blights have False Appearance. The most likely reason they aren’t lining up with your equation is that WotC assumed they would get a surprise round, so that’s messing up the functional damage output portion of the equation. Try adding an additional round worth of damage to their damage output, without adjusting their functional HP and see if that fits.Yeah, that checks out with my guess that they’re assuming a surprise round, because grimlocks, while they don’t have false appearance, do have stealth proficiency and advantage on stealth checks in rocky terrain. You’re treating these as “basic monsters” but WotC is treating their stealth features as a potential source of DPR. Though, in the Grimlock’s case I’m more inclined to assume that they’re factoring stealth into the attack bonus and ac rather than assuming a surprise round.What are those monsters? I would not be surprised if the anomalies are likewise due to them not being as “basic” as you’re assuming.</blockquote>
