Yeah. Yeah. No, I agree. I mean, I think there's been a few different, like, Bloodied is back. in the hit points. I don't think, they don't actually mention it in the stat block there, but bloodied as a condition is back. We know that. And that's at half hit points. And like in 4e and level up advanced 5e, it doesn't do anything itself.

Yeah. There's one other thing they're doing. Like, each entry has a little kind of byline. Each monster has a byline. Just kind of like a one sentence that tells you what the monster is before it delves into the whole page of fluff text. So, for example, the gargoyle is a sculpted sentinel hidden in plain sight. And I think that's quite useful and quite cool.

You can go and see these actual stat blocks, because there's quite a few of them. And you can sort of see how these things actually manifest. Just Digital Alchemist Q, for example, that little table I was referring to. Yeah.
