Do You Really Need to Think About How Monsters Act in a Campaign?

You really need to think t monsters like this for them to live up to their challenge rating. You want to use challenge rating mathematically to balance encounters, which is always going to be a little more art than science anyway. Ah, if you are not running a monster the way that that expresses the full tential of what it can do, then, you know, maybe you're not running a challenge 16 steel preter. Maybe you're running a challenge 14 steelPreter. And that can make a big difference in how the combat feels when it plays out. A you reallyand this becomes even more true at higher levels when pess are acquiring more magic weapon, more magic armor.
