Talk:Monster Design Variability (5e Variant Rule)

I like the idea of this rule, but the execution is... frankly bad, or at least incomplete.

On DMG page 280 it clearly declares that a single use of Legendary Resistance for a monster of CR 11+ is "worth" 35 hp, at least when it comes to determining CR. Yet this page has it "worth" a whopping 75 hp. - Guy 16:20, 26 March 2023 (MDT)

That's the easiest, clearest example but I similarly doubt the other hp trade-offs. These don't seem to have basis in the clear-cut rules for determining CR as presented in the DMG. - Guy 16:22, 26 March 2023 (MDT)
