Doing a little research, do I have the images below correct? If so, what about them is detrimental in your opinion. Is it the quality of the art (the question that was being discussed) or what it is trying to do? Regarding the Bard (page 58), while I don't like the style for D&D personally, I...

Do find any of the art you noted that you would describe as "garbage" or "crap" as @ezo did? Also, can you describe the page the art is on? DnD Beyond doesn't list page numbers and my local Flgs was sold out of PHBs when I picked up the MM & DMG. I still need to go get that! I would like to...

OK, I looked at all CR 13 monsters in the 2024 MM. Their CR's vary, when using the 2014 DMG Guidelines from CR 13.5 to CR 19. I got an average of 15.9 and a median of 15.5. The 2014 Rakshasa calculates to a CR of 13.5 without including greater magic resistance (GMR). If I use +4 AC for GMR I...

The largest modifier in the 2014 guidelines is +4 AC. I wouldn't go beyond that personally. Actually, It shouldn't be to hard to calculate the effect by running the numbers with and without it. I need to run an errand then I will give it shot.

Thank you for your thoughts @AlViking they are much appreciated. 2014 Monster CR Calculator Just be aware this is specifically from the 2014 DMG monster creation guidelines. Also, if you are making a monster below CR 1 there are issue with the calculations. As I noted in the OP, this is...

Perhaps you missed were I added all of those to the non-legendary dragon? My non-legendary has more forced movement and applied conditions than the WotC Legendary version (which only has Command). Now, you could add those things to the Legendary version, but they are not there by default. Of...

That is only true if your are talking about 1v1 and all other things being equal. The intent in my system is a group of 3-5 deity PCs working together and a creature a rank higher than you is considered a solo threat. So how do 3-5 PCs take on a monster that is 10x more powerful than any one of...

I have been thinking about a comment @Blue mentioned in another thread. They suggested that non-legendary monsters are not / could not be a threat as solo monsters. I didn't agree with that (after all CR is independent of legendary status) and I have been souring a bit on legendary monster...

Because you literally multiple everything* by 10. So an intermediate deity that throws a punch for 10d6 damage, the greater deity, with no other changes, is doing 10d6 x10 damage. *not really everything, but things that deal with HP, damage, DR, healing, etc. To hit and defenses scale more...

OK, so what you are calling ranks is more like levels in my system and what I call rank is more like tiers in tour system. I have 5 levels per rank so 50 levels total (in theory - there is nothing that has reached those levels). Each rank in my setting is a 10x jump in power. So, all things...
