I know CR is Challenge Rating. I'm guessing DDB is D&D Beyond. The other acronyms are pretty blank. Rise of the Furry Muppets? Little Lovecraft of Kadath?

For what it's worth, Brain In A Jar has been published in 5e a couple of times so far--once in the Lost Library of Kwalish, and once in Icewind Dale. I wonder if he just updated the 2e stats for pickled punks himself, or if they're in the book.

I know English is not your first language, but I must say it is frustrating to read your posts like this... You should preface things like, "I think that Azalin Rex will return," or "I hope." Just saying it will happen as if it is a fact and confirmed, is untrue.

He writes better English than most of us write in his language I am sure. It isn't easy communicating in a language that isn't the language you grew up speaking. I have little trouble understanding him, when I do, I know it is because of the language barrier and can always ask for clarity. No reason to attack his posts on those grounds. He is a solid poster in these threads. If you don't understand what someone means, just ask for clarification.

with @Bedrockgames mentioning it I'm going to agree with him. There's no reason to think @LuisCarlos17f was speaking from an authoratative position of certainty over mere speculation akin to watching a horror film & having your friend say things like "that guy' going to get killed", "he's not dead" or "that' the killer". I think the wording used fits fine within the way we actually use the language & expecting every forum post to be written to meet a very high bar called "technical writing" or "business writing" is unreasonable.
