# If I am a CR 20+ Dungeons and Dragons villain in 5e, and the Heroes show up with a number of folks who normally are CR 1/2, or lower, I will ask them if they studied their Tasha's.

But if they have, and have thus taken Sidekick classes, making them equal to the Heroes in terms of comparable power, it might be a good idea to retreat, especially if my own minions have neglected their studies of Tasha's.
