D&D 5E (2024) I have a Monster Manual. AMA!

[FitzTheRuke]

I've picked up the 2024 MM today from my games distributor, for sale tomorrow at my comic and game store.

But we're closed today, so I've got some time to answer questions!

If you have any burning questions, ask away!

(And others with the MM can feel free to help me answer. I like help!)

 

[Clint_L]

Best new creature, in your opinion!

 

[MonsterEnvy]

How many types of Cultists are there?

 

[dave2008]

Since @Upper_Krust hasn't jumped on yet, I will ask: what is the bite damage for the tarrasque?

 

[CleverNickName]

Pretty sure I already know the answer to this, but hope springs eternal.
Are there any templates?

 

[Garmel]

Is the Tough NPC identical stat-wise to the Thug in 2014?

 

[Tonguez]

How useful are the Indexes?

and how flexible are the NPCs

 

[SlyFlourish]

How many types of Cultists are there?

Seven I think.

 

[dave2008]

How useful are the Indexes?

Not Fitz, but one video I watched yesterday said the indexes were his favorite part of the book. That will never be my take, but clearly some like them!

 

[Scribe]

Duergar, Derro?

Either included?
