One DnD 2025.05 on the front page has everything from the Eberron UA and all the monsters with CR 0 from the 2025 MM.

Traditionally the snake woman thing is "hey, she's hot" followed by "ahhh" (and not in a good way). That being said, I am fine with mariliths adopting a more enticing visage when messing with the mortals and being more monstrous when fighting devils. My biggest gripe is that I picture them...

Really, we don't even get a story of how your sister's boyfriend's second cousin's barber's favorite pizza delivery driver's best friend swore off D&D forever after some nameless caster got off two fireballs in 1 round before dying the next round. Standards have really slipped around here.

I almost feel like there should be an AP version of spellcaster monsters for the harried DM running a little late who opens up the book 15 minutes before the session and curses when they see what they are supposed to run, and a MM version for the DM who is planning on getting sweet revenge on...

I will buy that. The eladrin hit the party thing too (just run by the wizard instead of the paladin). I have to admit I thought about switching them and the guardinals around at times in 2e and 3x. 4e made me think of eladrin as melodramatic, which is kind of chaos thing, but even more a fey...

That is a good thought. It is easy to forget that celestials are more than just combat + healing (+ infodump), they can solve other problems too.

I think the original idea was that guardinals deal with problems and don't make a show of it, which is pretty NG. If you look at what outsider N's on the L-N-C scale actually do (as opposed to what the books say alignment means for PC's), you will notice that N's tend to have a strong "don't...

Another thought is that I (and think most everyone) thinks of the pre-4e eladrin as celestial elves that can take an energy or elemental shape, but what if it was the other way around? We have celestials that look like humanoids and beasts (and in 3PP, like plants), why not celestials that look...

I don't know, celestial animal people niche is pretty covered with archons, guardanals, and animal lords; it seems almost conformist to make the CG ones like that. More chimerical ones like the Lillend with parts from more than one beast could be a chance to differentiate them from the other...

To tell the truth, I would rather there be more walls or something like a hunger of hadar wall that that reaches out when you get too close than summoning spells. In addition to the Wall of Gelatinous Ooze, there could be Wall of Bones (sharp), Spectral Curtain (necrotic), or Wall of Ghoulish...

Actually, Wall of Ooze would be even better. A 60-foot-long gelatinous cube, that is best in life. I suppose the only reason they didn't do a summon plant is that you can use animate object to get one.

Jubbilex demands that they add summon ooze.

I agree on the wisdom. I would rather they gave the rogue the option of the sneak attack damage being psychic, poison, or necrotic (admittedly poison probably won't see a lot of use) than the cantrips. That being said, I like that this opens up some narrative space for the rogue. If this gets...

It seemed like they were trying to answer, "if we didn't give divine soul sorcery sorcerer access to cleric spells, what else could we do?" I admit I might be out of touch, but this makes 5 sorcerer subclasses, and 2 are supports; is there really that much market for that role? I like the...

You know it isn't really urban fantasy unless at least one PC says "I like Bob, he is so nice. Hanz (and how often is it a vaguely Germanic name?) is a total jerk, but he is so, so ... (wait for it)....(keep waiting for it)...(can't hold it any longer).....ALPHAAAA." Sorry, urban fantasy pet...

I think it depends on edition. I would agree that most of pre-4e she came across as more NE than CE. 4e doubled down on the crazy and the CE (when the God of Torture thinks you are a maniac....). When haven't seen enough in 5e to know. For my setting, I decided to go Kore-Persephone. Every...

Dragon riders of Pern if you make it long enough.

Personally, I would rather the Valkyrie was some kind of controller (to use the 4e term) that could inflict a state of rage (similar to barbarians) in someone she could see (of course, the victim could choose to fail the save and choose the rage) and then had spells to power up her warrior. She...

One DnD 2025.04 on the front page has the classes from the 2025 Forgotten Realms UA.

Please do. I could see the face-tweener-heel axis vs. the classy-weird-jerk axis Classy Face: John Cena, Ricky Steamboat, Cody Classy Tweener: OTC Roman Reigns (he doesn't have to be a jerk, he has Paul Heyman to do it for him). Classy Heel: Nick Bockwinkel is the classic, but I think MVP...
