In this episode of 8-bit Monsters, Monster Deconstruction for D&D 5e, I deconstruct the Spy. Having looked at the Challenge Rating for the Goblin, I knew this "monster" would be about the same with it's Cunning Action. Good thing I didn't use this Spy in a previous quest because it's a little higher than it should be from it's printed CR. The funny part is, it's not nearly as dramatic as the Goblin was. So sit back, get a quick drink of water, and listen how the Spy's CR breaks down.

The idea of this podcast is to break monsters down into their bare components: DCR & OCR. These two values will allow us to see how strong they are and to see where D&D got the CR values from. I'm doing this because all too often, players skip right to level 3 to avoid the hell levels and possibly end up dead. Generally, each monster is a balancing act that isn't equal to the final value.
