Really? You've never participated in a battle with a solo monster that was fun, or read a solo monster that seemed compelling?

Meh, just my small attempt at rationalizing his group's decision. I don't agree with it at all, fwiw. Hey, maybe Istar doesn't either, and he's trying to make the most broken rogue possible in an attempt to make his group realize that errata is useful and contributes to a more enjoyable game...

I have some vague recollection of Demogorgon being mentioned in a Dragonlance novel or something, too...

It might be easier for them to just play by the books. I know back in 3e I was always like, "Wait, wasn't that errata'ed?" *spends several minutes paging through printed errata* "Nope, guess not!"

So, in this thread, we're to list all of the broken stuff that was errata'ed? My suggestion is to read the errata. It should bring to your attention all of the goodies.

XDDDDDDDDDDDDD That is worth XP and 1 internet. Congratulations.

If you don't like that picture you must not be a very fun guy. That's right, I went there. :blush:

Nice, thanks frankthedm. So it's a worthwhile power for brutes unless they have an awful chance to hit the group's defenders. It would also be pretty mean for soldiers too (the other suggested monster type), who have a better chance to hit AC. WotC definitely noticed the call for "more damage," eh?

A very good point, Belphanior! I would add a bit of errata to the end of Dangersense so it reads "It can use one minor action and immediate action between each pair of turns." Other than that I thought the bebilith looked pretty fierce! Once the melee PCs get stuck in with it, the damage...

Yeah, I would probably refrain from putting that power on anything other than an already mundane brute or soldier. As for whiffing more often, would two rolls with a -2 give you a better chance to hit a defender's AC than one roll w/o the -2? Brutes usually have to roll above average to hit a...

Yeah, this is definitely a melee-oriented assassin! He gets his target all alone and dominates him to the ground while giving him repeated naughty touches. With their high Dex you could always tack on a magic dagger for a ranged option, though. Or a mind thrust-type psychic power.

Yeah, the Demogorgon-based themes are nice. Good advice & structure for using them, and they're not so good that they throw an individual monster's power out of line with their level. Can't wait to see what other themes are in the MM2!

That myconid picture is sweet! Once again Steve Prescott delivers. A bunch of cool monster previews too! They all impressed me in different ways, but I think the Dreaming Dark Assassin is the coolest with his melee range at-will dominate power. How will the Dual Mind power interact with PC...

Lately my PCs don't seem to be enjoying conditions very much. "Oh boy, daze again." In fact some of the most enjoyable encounters we've had have been slug fests with simple brutes like trolls and ogres. This hydra seems pretty interesting to me. No conditions? No problem.

No, they're like multi-headed-slug-serpents now.

You've greatly marginalized the hydra's ability to knock out PCs. I think it's gonna do a lot more than force some surge usage and die. With some extra heads and an AP it has a rather frightening potential for damage. I'm of the opinion that this is the first hydra I'm actually interested in...

This this this! The recent Arcane Schools articles in Dragon & Dungeon are a good example of this, IMO.

*Heroslayer Hydra saves its APs till bloodied* Heroslayer Hydra uses two Hydra Fury attacks on the fighter! Heroslayer Hydra does massive damage! It's super effective!

Well, maybe it will have an effect? So far we've seen plenty of articles with information on organizations, NPCs, monsters and locations coupled with new powers and items. Now we should be getting articles with powers & items, without the spoilerish info and flavor in the same package. If true...

We're getting lots of Far Realm-related flavor lately, and that makes me happy. Great source of adventure, wouldn't wanna live there. The powers are pretty cool all around, too. Nice to finally see some new paladin powers, WotC! Wayfinder's Charge is equally effective and flavorful, with lots...
