[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 9578442, member: 63508"] Also 3e's monster design didn't work because weapons were MASSDIVELY overvalued and spells HUGELY undervalued. So the 3e monster creation rules was kinda trash. You'd need different rules for warriors, priests, mages, and rogues. This is why 4e identified the roles and designed a system to put all classes in the same power structure. 5e did the worst of 4e and 3e. It kept 4e's roles, kept 3e's asymmetrical design, built a different system for each type of monster, then pretended it didn't. So for 5e, a good transparent monster creation system needs.
