[QUOTE="thecasualoblivion, post: 4557979, member: 59096"] In my last 3.5E campaign, I scrapped the monster system entirely in favor of a hypothetical interpretation of 4E's monster system based on what I read from Worlds and Monsters, using the 3E rules. I used the 4E roles as they were described there, and built encounters around multiple enemies. I built monsters giving them whatever BAB, AC, saves, HP, and attacks I felt were appropriate, with no regard for the actual framework. Goblins throwing fireballs were a common sight. When we went through our Goblin phase, you could count on them in every other fight. Lots of enemies based off of the 3E Warlock class. Warlocks make great artillery. Birds with flyby attack and the mobility feat became HATED sights, as did the invisible teleporting ninja skeletons. I even made Soldier type enemies who marked and did double damage on opportunity attacks. We all agreed that this was the best combat we ever had in 3.5E D&D. Nothing came close. When 4E actually came out and I saw real 4E monsters, it was eeire how close I was when I did this last 3.5E game. [/QUOTE]
