Mastering Dungeons
5E Stat Block Changes and Building the Perfect Campaign Guide! (MD 209)

And I think that, yeah, so it is good. We do think it's good to take it down a bit. But the method in which it's been done here, yeah, it takes away from it and creates a certain tactical type of play that to me is opinionated. If I go back to the ape in 2014, it's fine. You know, it's not on the big list of things to fix, move on, do something else.

But no, we've taken a big pass at this and decided to change how it plays, which is really interesting. Yeah.

Yeah. So in looking at other monsters, did you see anything else that stood out along these lines for you?

And probably because while it makes sense, it's a creature that you can summon as a familiar and through a warlock. And so it becomes, you know, more of a problem in that sense.

Which is fine. I can see that being less about an opinion and more about we've looked at this game data and going back and forth on saving throws, how engaging, how fun is it versus the time it consumes. I can sign off on that.

Especially, I mean, in this case, this DC 11 con save, right, is something that becomes quite a waste to roll, especially if you have higher level characters, right? Because the idea is that your plus five to attack because of bounded accuracy will still make the imp work if you have a bunch of them at higher levels.

Well, now you're doing all these saving throws over and over and over again to see if they hit a DC 11, which more than half of the time they'll probably make, and then just becomes a waste of rolling. So it especially works in this kind of case with a low CR creature, I think.

that is an interesting idea, right? That we're giving you less to interact with and we're just going to give you a hit point boost. So in fact, it's interesting that didn't go from 10 to 20 and went to 21 for whatever reason, but probably just stat based, whatever.
