APPENDIX A: LIST OF CHANGES
I made changes to several stat blocks in order to reconcile them with the table on page 274 of the Dungeon Masters Guide, Monster Statistics
by Challenge Rating. In short, monsters over CR 5 are typically underpowered with respect to how much damage their Actions do. I suspect
that the reason for this is related to the fact that the Monster Manual and Dungeon Masters Guide were released separately. While that time
difference is relatively short, I suspect the two were written independently and thus arent in sync. I also made a few changes because I
found the monsters boring.
In case you want to revert these stat blocks to their original numbers and powers, here are the original stats as they appeared in the Monster
Manual. Follow these instructions, and everything will be the same.
