Blights are very plant-y and forest-y, and can cause an extra problem if they can turn the crops into more blights.

It sounds like this character holds elves to a higher standard than others. Would he have any particular disdain for elves committing any other crimes?

Fair enough, and thanks. I’ll take a look at it,t hanks.

Twig, needle, and vine blights. Also, can I see a bumped up to CR 1/8 lemure? And just because I’m curious at what you’ll devise, commoner.

Fair point I suppose, I don’t know what mindset and actual person in D&D universe would bring to that issue. But I could say that same thing about how they’d approach other parts of life. I guess it’s a s you say, tastes vary. Thanks for some of the background information on 4e by the way...

Bytopia and Arboria are incredibly different. Bytopia is quite and peaceful, a place were people can live relatively ordinary lives without anxiety. Arboria is emotional, ever-changing, and loud, like an eternal party that even nature is participating in. Same with Pandemonium and the Abyss...

I think both Great Wheel and World Axis overly “physicalizes” their non-earthly realities too much for my liking, but it’s a matter of degree. In the Great Wheel I can still see something that vaguely resembles the central principles that underlie religions. Not just “x is god of y” Wikipedia...

Someone stuffed a soul in a yggrasti, now we have space blights.

Almost all undead animated objects angels blights chimera Demons Devils Dryads Gargoyles Gibbering Mouthers Golems Gnolls Hags Hell hounds Homunculi Manticores Mephits Modrons Oni Oozes Parytons Pixies Scarecrows Shield guardians Unicorns …I don’t have a problem you have a problem.

While I don’t personally mind the blue/purple/pink theme as much that Scribe points out, I think it does show WoTC adhering pretty close to a “detault” palette for certain concepts. Just as blue, purple, and pinks are the unofficial colors of magic, fiends and the lower planes are overwhelmingly...

Corpses, skulls, and bones have been used for a long time to represent death by disease (and just death in general). Walking skeletons originally symbolized the Bubonic Plague, for instance. Just something I remembered from all this disease talk.

A ghost is basically just the same dude after misplacing their body. They barely even count as dead. I don’t know a lot about Baelnorns, but I assume the means of creating one are very carefully planned out with multiple safety checks. Whereas making a zombie involves haphazardly slapping the...

Is there any guarantee that animated object corpses would walk around like a person, insead of flopping on the floor?

Hit points as meat. You get hit in the rules, you get hit in the story. We also welcome some inter-party conflict, as long as it doesn’t happen every session.

If undead are just cheap robots…you might as well skip a step and put cheap robots in your setting.

And IMO, this is the ideal. No one in my group’s campaigns have died yet (our one shots are another matter, sometimes dying in the funniest way possible is the implicit goal) but we’ve had enough close calls to show that 5e gives plenty of tools to put the pressure on the PCs. For a lore-thing...

For clarities sake, does this mean that a villain that sees the error in their ways near the end of their life and spends their last ten years doing good deeds still count as Evil? For my own position on alignment, the vast majority of people are Neutral. You really need to go out of your way...

Lulu is already basically a Magical Girl in small flying elephant form.

Medium magic probably fits best. Magic is a part of life, but not a daily part (usually). In light of the Four Curses, magic is important for the people protecting both their homes and their minds, but if things are going well this is a mostly invisible process, with the possible exception of...

I am admittedly speaking from my personal ideal rather than from how it usually plays out.
