[QUOTE="mkill, post: 5100653, member: 55985"] Let's all calm down... WotC will update the books at some point (unless they want to burn in nerdrage on next GenCon). They are currently still ironing out a few kinks in the system, and I don't blame them if they wait with the revised edition until they feel the system is perfect. I'm sure we'll see another batch of errata/updates with the essentials and the rules compendium coming up. Besides, there is an easy way to always have up-to-date monster stats. It's called [I]DDI[/I] and [I]printer[/I]. Several times, my players ran off in an unexpected direction and I had to come up with an encounter on the spot. No problem: Pick a few minis, look up the stats in DDI, print them out. Prep time: 2-5 minutes. You can even do some quick and dirty customizations on the paper, like changing the name, or scaling down a solo to an elite, or bumping a monster up or down a few levels, or changing the energy type on an attack. You can even jot down hp and status effects. And it's much much easier to handle encounters with different types of monster from different pages in one encounter when you have them on single sheets. Just put them in order of initiative. In fact, printing out monster stats is now my main session preparation (I improvise most of the other stuff and usually don't have more than a few mental images prepared.) [/QUOTE]
