Well, yeah, that's, I'm quibbling over what counts as new, so ignore me. Sorry, I do beg your pardon. I don't know what came over me with this, unless they're a type of pedantry, but yeah.

Maybe there's an index at the back, so if you were... Yeah, fair enough. Indexes are very hard to make. Sorry, just popped in my head. Back on. Anything else from the DMG?

Yeah, well, as we said, this is the design goal. They want to make encounters easier to run. They want to make it less unnecessarily difficult to run. Which, yeah, I'm like... Anything that will make games easier to run, I'm sort of in favour of.
