If WB had gone to Netflix we could have had a Batman Bridgerton crossover, which would have been awesome!

The best kind of definitions! “Oh, that was easy," says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.

Not even with mistletoe wrapped round it? NB this is a leg pull.

You could have a staff that is a druid focus at one end and an arcane focus at the other (the end with the knob).

I think this needs a cinematic approach. I wouldn’t use a standard monster. I would use something kaiju sized. A mile high octopus or seaweed monster is awakened from the depths by the summoned storm. The party can't fight it directly (it has a bazzillion hit points) but they can fight it's...

Humans love to put labels on things. Academics even get paid to do it. That doesn't mean those labels have any objective truth in them. Case in point. In Starfinder magic is magic, is objectively real, and understood by wizards. The gods are objectively real and have conversations with their...

Monsters can to.

Is this something the party are expected to fight or not? If it’s role is purely narrative, you want something far to powerful for the PCs to fight - they survive because it’s not interested in them. If it’s near the PCs in power, it really only ends two ways - the PCs kill it or it kills them.

A lot depends on if the summoning is intentional and controlled or not. There are a great many sea monsters who would be attracted by a magical storm without being directly summoned. Or go classical - an archfey/air elemental called Ariel.

Storm giant.

Read the post I was responding to. It was asking specifically about known saurial communities. That doesn’t include lone saurials wandering the lands (of which we know there is at least one), or unknown non-canonical communities the DM might care to add.

Tome of Annihilation suggests they aren’t. Maybe they found their way back home?

I don't think I've seen them in an adventure, published or homebrew, for a long long time.

Fey Wanderer and GOO warlock (others?) can cast summons without concentration; Beastmasters, artificers etc can have permanent pets plus summons. The DM has enough to manage as it is. And the DM turns taking too long can also be boring for players. But a big factor is the actual number of...

ToA also has terrorfolk as a monstrous species, wouldn't be hard to do one as a PC. But I guess that with dragonborn, lizardfolk, tortles and kobolds the Forgotten Realms has plenty of options for scaly PCs. And if you want to play an "alien", there are plenty of species not native to Toril to...
