We've now reached the point in the campaign where the PCs are picking up some powerful shapechanging and conjuration spells. These tend to allow them to "turn into a creature of type X of CR Y or less" or "summon a creature of type X of CR Y or less". Which is great - I'll just look up the tables cross-referencing creatures by type and CR. And, conveniently, those tables are gathered together into an appendix in the DMG.
(That's a whole other rant - those tables should be in the MM, neatly dividing material by topic. But 5e chose to copy the example of 1st Edition in this regard, neglecting the fact that 1st Edition did this by necessity, as the MM was published before Gygax realised the tables would be a good idea, so he had to put them in the DMG.)
So, anyway, I looked up those oh-so-useful tables in the DMG... and found them missing. The book has tables listing monsters by terrain type (good), and listing monsters by CR (also good), but doesn't feature the tables that I actually needed, cross-referencing monster type by CR.
Brilliant!
