Looking at the zombie examples now, we have things ranging from kobold and human, which are very similiar, to troglodyte and bugbear, which kick things up a bit.Eh? The SRD has an example of a wyvern and while it doesn't have the stinger, it can fly. This is a huge issue with winged flying creatures if they all of the sudden become some generic brute: 20 ft. (4 squares; can’t run), fly 60 ft. (poor)Heck, sounds more like a race then a template.The problem has always been assuming that the game mechanics which work for players work the same for monsters. They semi-worked that way in previous editions but with the further split (PCs materal vs DM materal), it just looks like simplification to ease... game mastery.If I wanted simple games, I wouldn't be playing 3.5 in the first place.</blockquote>
