D&D 5e Monster Statblocs WRONG

We have found a couple of monsters in the 5e Compendium that are incorrect, but the only one we can remember now is: BROWN BEAR's to hit should be +6, not +5.  I'm guessing proficiency bonuses are being computed incorrectly. The other errors were similar in nature
Hi Nym's Adventures - To verify, are you still experiencing this issue? When I look at the Brown Bear entry, it is showing correctly as having a +6 attack bonus. Also, would you mind confirming how you are viewing the compendium entry? Are you viewing it directly from the compendium tab, an entry in your journal, or are you looking at it in the out-of-game compendium link ? 
It is in the PHB out of game compendium&nbsp; <a href="https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Brown%20Bear#h-Brown%20Bear" rel="nofollow">https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Brown%20Bear#h-Brown%20Bear</a> This is IN and OUT of game in the PHB monster statistics. I do not own the Monster Manual, which may be why this is appearing.

It is +5 in the SRD compendium, but +6 in the Monster Manual. There is a disconnect, unless the original statblocks are also in disagreement. I just checked. The latest SRD has the Brown Bear at +5 to attacks. I don't know if there's anything Roll20 can do about this if the originals are in disagreement. The SRD compendium has to match the SRD. There are a number of cases like this IIRC. Until WotC publishes a new SRD, that's what an SRD Brown Bear is.

Perhaps... Is there a Brown Bear version from the latest PHB printing that is correct? I don't know if there is a third version in the Compendium. I suspect not.
The brown bear in both my 1st edition PHB (long since relegated to a binder and sheet protectors) and the new collector's set with alternate covers PHB say +6. It must be an issue with the SRD.&nbsp; However, I bought the PHB on Roll20, so shouldn't it equate to the PHB version when i look at it? If not, it isn't a huge deal. We use D&amp;D Beyond for our sourcebooks anyway, pretty much only using Roll20 for the tabletop.&nbsp; It was just convenient to click/drag some things from the compendium.&nbsp; We only noticed because I have used the same combo and the math dinged as wrong in my memory. Thank you for your time.
