The dragon would ideally spring out of the water and wreak havoc for a couple rounds, then retreat back into the pool or lake where the party loses sight of it. Roles for monsters functioned differently than for PCs. They informed the DM how a monster would be most effective in a tactical situation. PC roles were a little more broad, allowing for character options and class abilities to define how characters could perform their role. Essentials really did a great job of paring things down into a clean and easy version of the game. This was especially evident in the monster designs that were much more manageable, easier to read and run at the table. It's a shame they didn't gave us a few more products that would have converted some older content to match improved standards, like the original classes and more monsters.</blockquote>
