[QUOTE="SlyFlourish, post: 9576348, member: 54840"] I'm very late to this thread but I have opinions! I think the D&D 2024 books took away a lot of the "here's how to fish" sort of advice we saw in the 2014 books including the monster stats by CR table they had in there (and that was well used by many people I know and talked to). They also omitted a lot of house rules that worked well as examples different DMs and groups could use to build their own. Luckily, we have these rules from other publishers in books and in open-licensed formats. A5e's monster builder probably works well compared to D&D 2024 monsters. The Tales of the Valiant Monster Vault includes a monster stats by CR table as well. My own quick analysis shows that [URL='https://shop.slyflourish.com/products/forge-of-foes']Forge of Foes[/URL] monsters stack up well with D&D 2024 monsters for the most part. We give away thee[URL='https://slyflourish.com/lazy_5e_monster_building_resource_document.html#buildingaquickmonster'] Forge of Foe table for free[/URL] under very permissive licenses so other publishers can use it. I have a feeling we'll see some nice breakdowns of the monster stats by CR soon but yeah, it's a real miss that WOTC didn't include it in the DMG. [/QUOTE]
