Im currently reading through the 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide, In the Artifact Properties section, in Major Detrimental Properties there is a section that reads: "Each time you become attuned to the Artifact, there is a 10 percent chance that you attract the attention of a god who sends an avatar to wrest the Artifact from you. The avatar has the same alignment as its creator and uses the Empyrean stat block. Once it obtains the Artifact, the avatar vanishes."
The Empyrean referenced in this section is the 2014 Monster Manual version, which I do not own as I bought the 2024 version in order to have a complete set of the new rules. Seeing as there is also a 2024 version of the Empyrean statblock in the new Monster Manual this seems like a possible oversight?
