Does anyone have a good system to convert monsters that have spell slots in their stat block to the x/day format? I feel like the new counter spell was designed for monsters with the x/day format. If the PCs successfully counterspell a monsters it looses the spell whereas the PCs don’t loose the slot if an enemy’s counterspell succeeds. For all the talk of backwards compatibility, there are monsters from older 5e modules that still use spell slots which seems antithetical to the new counterspell design. Has anyone come up with a system? I’ve tried to reverse engineer what WoTC did using different versions of monsters like the lich (new vs legacy) and the sphinx (androsphinx vs sphinx of valor) and I just can’t seem to come up with a system.
