When I first played 5E, we used a reskinned elf as a kitsune; change the level 3 spell ability to disguise self and the 5th level spell ability to alter self in 2024.

It's pretty subpar. 1) You have to use an action to cast Eldritch Blast 2) You have to hit 3) You have to spend a bonus action 4) You have to spend a warlock spell slot 5) The target(s) get a save against the fireball

Yeah, a lot of what prickles me about the 2024 version is the extra abstraction. Not a fan, and why I've been avoiding it.

That's what we all say :ROFLMAO: But then our eyesight goes out the window, and our hands shake too much :cry::cry:

The thing for me is, I associate them with the Shrine of the Kuo-Toa, which was for 9th level characters, so I tend to forget about them as low-level. In many ways, I prefer to use Sahaugin that Kuo-Toa, I guess because of the Saltmarsh series.

Dark creepers for me, as well as troglodytes. Of the former, I always liked it when PCs got to levels they could start facing also Dark Stalkers - and their reaction the first time one of them explodes into a mini-fireball.

I guess those of us who weren't going to buy a FR book are just out of luck - especially since we can't buy things al la carte anymore...

I'm mostly of the same thought; you should need silver to take them out, and magic weapons just buy you some time. I do think that non-magical BPS resistance/immunity is far to common in base 5E, but I think they went too far the other direction. For example, I think you should be boned if...

I suppose selkies would be too far? They are somewhat like swanmays, but become seals instead of swans. Kitsune might also qualify too - in some tales they can be completely human in shape except for their tails.

The more stat blocks the better. But I would have even settled for a table with traits to apply to the basic NPCs to give them a bit of customization/flair. What they have currently goes back to the days of 1E where you'd get like "in large groups they are led by a 4th level warrior and have a...

Yes, this. I went over my monster book by hand at least 3 times, had two other people look at it and I'm still finding stuff that I'm asking myself "how did I miss this?"

day late, dollar short.

A couple of those CDs had some good background music in them (Red Steel and another I can't seem to put my hands on). The narrations were certainly amateur theater, but listening to them as DM beforehand could help with envisioning certain scenes. Sadly, in several cases, they replaced the...

Yeah, I played a lot of B/X at the start. And it was not until may years afterward that I learned the picture on the DMG was an efreet. At first glance, it sure doesn't look like one and a lot of my compatriots would have classified it a demon unless otherwise specifically shown it was not.

If there's an issue, I'd rather see the martials being brought up, rather than forcing casters down more. Maybe take away the spellcaster's ability to regain a few slots after a short rest. I would like to see more powerful maneuvers for fighters - and not just limited to the likes of...

Demons are popular. Just have to look over at GW to see that. Doesn't mean I have to use them in my games or buy books that feature them prominently. It was actually the reason I did not buy the 1E PHB & DMG until the got they revised Easley covers and why I will never purchase Descent into...

If WotC cared about my Christian beliefs, I would tell them to remove every reference to Demon, Devil, Yugoloth, etc as I find their inclusion appalling, especially such things as the Warlock Fiendish patron where you are "making a deal with the devil". And that is not a joke. But they won't...

The HP bloat above CR 10 is insane. Creatures with 200+ hp just boggle me and it's no wonder I don't play to such high levels.

If people can mix and match B/X and AD&D the above is a no-brainer.

Behold, the errata for the 1E Monster Manual ... It's not a recent problem.
