Last time the It’s A Mimic! podcast discussed Dungeon Mastering, the panel of Dungeon Masters covered power creep and why you should manage the mechanics of Dungeons & Dragons more closely.  This time, the DM’s tear apart the stat blocks and see what two decades of experience have taught them about reading between the lines when it comes to deciphering monster stats.
