I wish that they understood that the CR rightly belongs to the right of the Name, not buried in the middle of the block. That and if you have room to write “The Empyrean casts Healing Word using the same spellcasting ability as Spellcasting” then you have more than enough room to put “One creature within 30ft regains 2d4+3 Hit Points”.

For the life of me, I don’t understand why they can’t come up with abbreviated versions of (most) spells and put them directly in the Stat Block. I get it for really long complicated spells, but c’mon. Healing Word is not one of those. And yet, I’d still have to look it up to remember exactly what it does.

EDIT: I just discovered that @Reynard made a whole thread on exactly this subject!
