[QUOTE="dave2008, post: 9155096, member: 83242"] Yes Your correct - I was looking at the creating a monster stat block. That is what I use. I never use the quick monster stats so I am not really familiar with them. You could be correct that they are trash - IDK Yes I know. What I am saying is there are errors in that table. However, that table is more guidance than we have ever gotten and I appreciate it. My point is this is an area this could be improved upon in 2024. Because it is like spellcasting. I am telling you how i read between the lines and get to an equivalent and accurate monster. I think this type of guidance should be there I agree with you. No I use it all the time. It is very helpful for using existing features and comparing to new features. Not perfect, but it is a great start. You did, but you didn't include anything about the CR previous to adding web, that is what I was pointing out. If you want an example I can get one. I don't have time now, but I can run through it with you. Also, if web doesn't change the CR it doesn't. No big deal. I use them all the time and get great results. They work for me so I like them. Maybe they reflect the user IDK [/QUOTE]
