11-11-06, 11:18 PM I happen to like it, and I know quite a few DMs who do. The fact that there are others who doen't like it and just shout really loudly, doesn't change much in our eyes.
I've timed combat with the old stat block and with the new stat block, and it's just faster with the new one.
But anyway, I don't want this to turn into another "why the new stat block format sucks/doesn't suck" thread. People are entitled to their own opinions - I just need a little help with mine :)

You won't find much luck here. Most monster makers aren't in favor of the new format.
