D&D 5e SRD Monster Manual for GMs Only

Edited 1464982234
Hello Roll20! I gotta say, the new 5e SRD feature is pretty darn sweet. While I realize it has just been implemented and is still far from being done and I'm sure you have a lot of great ideas and thoughts yourselves, I thought I'd just chime in with a bit of a suggestion. I'd personally prefer it if normal players did not have access to the Monster Manual while in-game. I realize it is as easy as a Google search to find the stats of a certain monster, but I think having the Monster Manual("MM") in the SRD simply promotes the temptation and use of looking up how much XP you gain for slaying a Vampire and it's fledglings, and what the Adult Black Dragon is resistant to and what it is not. It goes without saying that anyone playing as a GM should have full access to the MM. So, what do you guys think? Not just the hardworking lads at Roll20, but also you fellow heroes and ne'er do wells. Is there merit behind my suggestion or am I plain wrong and should their work be available to everyone at all times? Please throw your opinion at me, whatever it may be. Constructive criticism is obviously preferred :) Regards, Neekota
They can also just have a campaign open they created and find the monsters that way too. The only way around it is to create all your own monsters.
Yes, I realize that, but how many people do you think would actually do that? My whole point is to not make it convenient for the players to "real quick" check some stats.
There are plenty of easy ways, including having their own monster manual in front of them.
I would rather the Roll20 team work on other fixes, features, and enhancements first. Cheaters gonna cheat no matter what you do.
