Personally, the idea that I can be retrained when hit by the root attack is pretty scary. You go in as a 20th level fighter, the next thing you known your a 20th level clown specialised in sheep-frogging.... ;o)

Darkness is pretty much covered by Trickery, Fire by Light and Air by Tempest. Earth you could argue is covered by Nature, although I find that less convincing. Water seems the biggest omission. Sadrik's list has reminded me that I am going to be very, very careful about allowing any more domains.

Vampiric Touch basically adds a 3d6 Touch attack to the caster while he concentrates. So the self range makes sense. Personally, I would let you deal that damage through your familiar while the spell was in effect, if you wished.

There is no such thing as a 'Touch Spell' in 5e. If you need to 'touch' something for a spell to work, that's covered by a Melee Spell Attack.

These seem pretty good, balanced and compatible with the weapons in the MM. Well done.

The Crystal has to weigh 1 lb. If you are wearing 1 lb earrings, good luck to you.

It doesn't work that well after about third level.

Well that ruins my plan to request of Urt the Megalith... ;o)

You may be better of using the Dragon spell-casting rules, which rather than having a specific list basically boil down to Dragons can cast X 'spells' per day... where 'spells' is any spell they want under a certain level.

Do you mean Fomorian Giants?, because they are already in the book. Along with Lamia for that matter.

Another wrinkle is that some spells will not effect an Undead target anyway. Charm Person only works on humanoids. While Charm Monster... doesn't exist...

The article "Pox of the Planes" in Dragon Annual #2 (1997) described the night hags as the creators of the altraloths, powerful unique yugoloths.

There are actually two different Demiliches in the book. The default one is Challenge 18 (20 in lair), and is basically a Lich that has lost power by failing to consume souls on a regular basis. The variant is Acererak and his Disciples, Liches that have willing transformed into Demiliches for...

Not sure where you even got this idea, but no they do not say that at all. Even talks about how devils use portals to go elsewhere.

Fire Snakes have been larval Salamanders since at least the Monstrous Manual (1993).

The character has to be a *High Charisma* monk or barbarian...

It does not really look like you do, as its specifies 'when you cast the spell' which makes it sound like it only effects spells that deal damage directly. That said, sure, I would allow it.

I have now added the Abeil Queen to the Database to complete the set. It doesn't seem to auto generate a thread here when I add something, is that intended?

Tbh, given that an Awoken Tree has AC 13, I am having a disconnect with Barkskin being equivalent to chain in the first place. In the last open play test it (and the leaked alpha for that matter) it was just a +2 Bonus to AC (I.e. close to Studded Leather which seems about right in terms of...

Mearls thinks Artifact Weapons are two powerful to be modified by the Pact Weapon feature, which tbh I can't actually see coming up that often anyway. It is still a bit of a shame your Bladelock can't use a Artifact Greatsword with proficiency though.
