    Can someone give a good example if what makes these books good? I’d love to see a single great example of the level of quality that these books bring.

        Thanks! They look quite slick and have a lot going on. Particularly the void dragons you sent my way.

        Each would be more or less perfect for a single-monster encounter, as they are dense with fairly novel mechanics.

        Many people think that the WotC statblocks are a bit too boring, but I consider them a good entry point for new GMs. This is clearly a nice way to up your game.

        Cheers!

          Like someone below said though, kobold press monsters do tend to be accurate with their challenge ratings while WotC tends to be a little less

            Most of that is being fixed by dilating the amount of damage output that players can output in 5e in a variety of changes in OneD&D.

            My playtests have had really gripping & close fights, even with people optimizing their hearts out.
