TLDR: This book is forcing me to spend limited time and storage space to fix issues that shouldn't happen with paid 42 CAD (29 USD) content.
Got the new revision of the D&D MM and I'm pretty disappointed over the quality and effort put into the statblocks and tokens throughout the content expansion. Many of the statblocks have issues that require time from the DM (me) to fix such as some abilities rolling damage in the ability description when used, spellcaster box not being enabled on spellcaster statblocks (and as such not configured to their DC and bonuses), or missing bonus actions, and tokens being replaced with name tokens when suitable art is available for the the token throughout the book.
Here are some examples of issues I have with the statblocks and tokens, these issues are spread through a lot of the creatures. Any images required will be edited to remove any text not relevant to the issues of quality. The sheets I'm using are the D&D 5E 2024 sheets by Roll20 if that is relevant in anyway.
Extra damage dice text example
Bandit Deciever Blinding Flash action has extra damage dice when it is not necessary as there is already a damage roll function already built into the NPC statblock. Here is an example of what I mean for those not knowledgeable on what I'm talking about.
In compendium/stat-block
Should be instead
Spellcaster creatures lacking the spellcaster trait example
All creatures that have the spellcasting action or any innate spells do not have the Spellcasting NPC trait enabled for their stat sheet, they also lack the settings to match what the spellcasting action specifies such as DC, Attack Modifier, and Spellcasting Ability.
Bandit Deceiver for example
after enabling the spellcasting NPC trait
Tokens unused and duplicates examples
Bandit Captain has the same token as Bandit Crime Lord, despite the fact that there are four usable figures in the showcase art, the figure behind the Bandit Deceiver isn't used at all for the Captain or Crime Lord instead resulting in a duplicate token between the two statblocks.
The only two cultist statblocks that have tokens are the Death Cultist and the Elemental Cultist, all other cultists have no tokens, despite usable figures being available for the tokens. Aberration Cultist should be using the figure fighting the Elemental Cultist in their showcase art. Cultist and Cultist Fanatic have all the background cultists used in the Death Cultist Showcase available for use as tokens, leaving the the tiefling figure for Fiend Cultist and the skull wearing figure for the Cultist Hierophant. The fact that only two of the cultists actually got tokens is crazy.
Other creatures missing tokens despite art being available are Hobgoblin Warrior, Hobgoblin Warlord.
If a Roll20 moderator pass this along to the right people or tell me what I should submit it as under bug report that would be much appreciated.
