The Challenge Rating Challenge
The 5th Edition Monster Manual is a great book that’s filled with lots of lore and a wide range of foes for your party to battle. However, when you take a look at how the creatures it contains are distributed, it’s hard not to feel that drumming up enemies for tougher parties can get a bit…
