Its funny because WOTC is releasing a new Ravenloft book. The party will have an artificer, tiefling, cleric, drow barbarian, orc wizard and an arracockra. I have zero interest in reading it.

I have to disagree with you there. I don’t see anything particularly great about George R.R. Martin’s writing which seems much more like pulp than Tolkien. Many of the current fantasy writers really aren’t that appealing. I got more enjoyment from Weis & Hickman back in the TSR glory days than...

I disagree. I love Conan and it still holds up well. Players I game with play more like Conan than any other archetype except for possibly Raistlin. Everyone is confident, tough as nails, pretty honorable but plain murderous when double crossed. Conan’s world was vibrant and much more enjoyable...

That is funny because I never once look at a Brock, Glabrezu or Herzou and said what could make this creature better? Boobs!

My reference point was Darby O’Gil and the Little People

The planetar has always appeared this way. The only difference from prior editions was less of a muscular build and much more toned. The solar definitely had a masculine look in all editions with the 2nd edition art being most masculine in my opinion.

How can you tell it’s a male? It could be a very butch female. The banshee does not look masculine at all.

That would make sense as I don’t have every issue of Dragon. If they don’t have snakes in their hair and lack a petrifying gaze they simply aren’t Medusa IMHO.

I honestly don’t see either of the banshee as male. They both look female to me, but perhaps beauty is I the eye of the beholder.

Please provide proof of male hag and banshee art. The current and prior monster manuals do not represent this art. The why not approach to art is not really valid. You can make a death knight in robes and say it’s a death knight but that does not mean it is a necessary or desired change.

If that is the case for Male Medusa, I have never heard of them. Was it a specific module? There has been nothing said of male hags. What would be the reason to save them for a future update when you can simply include a Gargamel looking dude I the current MM?

Thank you for your response Charlaquin. While I appreciate the correspondence, I must confess I disagree with you here on several ponts. Please forgive my poor editing as that is not my strong suit but I will attempt to address my disagreements with your responses where applicable point by...

Is WOTC afraid of women? The marilith looks terrible and unfeminine, the dryad is a man now. We must have male Medusa just because… Why not be super conservative Wizards and just remove the female gender from every design and exclusively feature male characters or sexless characters if male...

How nice of you to be able to read my mind. You must be a psionicist. Sorry bro but I don’t need to conform to every new D&D class, subclass, spell, magic item, etc that comes out just because you bought it. Psychic damage was pretty rare in 2924 so many monster’s didn’t have resistances to it...

Oh so you only complain when it’s a nerf to the class that you like? Gotcha. Yeah your argument ms holds as much water as a leaking cup and I lend as much credence to your concerns also.

Yep, great that WOTC broke their own balance rules. My Soul Knife player wasn’t laughing when many monsters curiously acquired psychic resistance. 😂😂😂

Guess so Stormonu 😂😂😂

I think those options are garbage also. I am not ok with them because they are spellcaster powers. They need to rethink how they are affecting barbarian dr, the heavy armor dr feat and spells like stone skin. Force was the rarest of damage powers because it cut through almost anything. It should...

Wow, nice try at that straw man! I can cast magic missile as a 5th level spell that will do average damage of 13 points vs flurry average damage of 42 if all my attacks hit. If only half of my flurries hit my damage drops to 17. 3rd level spells is 3/day at six level vs 18 disciple points used...

Thank you. That is a well thought out and reasonable post. Many could learn from your example. 👍
