Brandes Stoddard has received a copy of Planescape: Adventures in the Multiverse (which come out in two weeks!) and is posting loads of photos over on Blue Sky. You can check out his feed for the whole treasure trove--here's a look at the table of contents.

That's why I'm not too worried that we didn't get the full run of archons and guardinals in this book - the '14 MM was notorious for its minimal selection of Celestials, so it seems pretty likely they're saving some for the '24 MM.

I can see the 24MM having some Archons, Guardinals, more Angels, and some completely new Celestials, like how there will be a new 20 CR+ Hag and Ooze.

I'm more excited for the templates and Petitioners then the actual Monster stats.

Even if 25 of the new stat blocks are Celestials, that is going to be ALOT of new Celestial times, I think they have at most 2 thirds of that as updated creatures from previous editions at most.

Actually, this new.Mknster book might be the single biggest percentage increase for a Creature Type in the entire Edition.

I'm excited to hear more about the rilmani!

 

[Reynard]

Which is...slanderous.

Its supposed to be esoteric crystals and spiral tattooing!

I don't think 90s nu-New Age is a creature type.

It's not 25 new Celestial stats (to be far I made up that number) , 3 Guardinals, 3 Archons, 3 Rilmani, Sunflies, Sunfly Swarm, Dabus, Planar Incarnates, Barbiurs, maybe 1 Modron, but that is probably an error. This book has 14 to 15 Celestials.

Well it should be!

Yeah, the New Age crystals and mediation style is nearly extinct now. The only really prominent example of that lineage I can think of is the Jedi, who are still reaching out with their feelings and fighting with crystal powered magic laser swords. So it's not surprising that D&D is trying to recast how psionics expresses itself.

So instead of taking a page from Star Wars, with a hook that will stand the test of time (Jedi) they are going to try and humanize the Far Realm and soften that a bit?
