I've always been interested in creating fantasy analogs of African cultures and mythology. I believe they are tough to do well though. Western depictions of black/African cultures even in a fantasy setting, are mired with racist tropes perpetuated to the point where people don't even realize...

What CR is he? Does he have any interesting abilities?

Would you be able to tell me any info about Manshoon?

3 spells are essential for Melee Wizard God mode. Tenser's Transformation, Fire Shield, and Haste. You can combine Flame Shield with either spell. Haste gives you an extra action that can be used to dash, make a single melee attack or use an object. It also gives advantage on dex saves and +2 to...

Do you have a source for that information? This sounds like headcannon.

In Forgotten Realms he is a god though, he has been for some time.

We can come back to this, but it's my personal prediction that Asmodeus won't be statted and that Mephistopheles will be the highest CR statblock in the book.

Can't wait for the bitter nay sayers to get here. They'll say that Zariel is weak and that their lvl 12 party can easily beat her.

It sounds like you'd be better served just copying the shapechanger ability from the yuan-ti malison.

WOTC said from the beginning that monster races are not meant to be balanced. Considering that Yuan-Ti are conventionally immortal snake men hailing from most settings oldest human civilizations that rings doubly true. There is nothing wrong with substituting magic resistance for shapechanger...

Those Abishai! Did Asmodeus impregnate Tiamat?

All of that sounds amazing, I was already sold on merely getting an adventure set in Waterdeep.

Good to see the inquisition didn't track you down brother.

My cambion son of Graz'zt (demon lord of fathering bastard children) that I'm currently playing, is laying the ground work (buying property and loyalties) for starting his own crime family. He's planning on using the influence of said crime family to eventually buy his way into becoming a masked...

I haven't seen anyone talking about the new reveals, so I figured I'd shed some light on them. https://www.reddit.com/r/dndnext/comments/8g9fcl/mordenkainens_preview_adventure/ The Star Spawn are quite terrifying.

Another convenient scenario that favors the party. I'm not going to go back and forth with you too much because it seems you're pretty firmly entrenched in the idea that pcs should steamroll through everything with plot armor. You're arguing from the perspective of game mechanics, exp and hit...

But its stupid.....assuming you're in the Abyss and the DM isn't hand waving you through the plane there is no way that you wouldn't already have been in 2-3 encounters with anything from Glabreezus to a Balor and an abyssal horde. Creature's like this have lairs, there should never be a time...

I've never understood why people always think they would encounter a monster (particularly a legendary) in a field or green room where its just you vs them. This is an obyrith, to even encounter it you would have to be in the depths of the abyss. It is so highly unlikely that you would encounter...

They were in name only. All of the flavor and mechanical options suggested that they were infernal historically. You were limited to role playing an abyssal or other fiendish origin or you could homebrew but all of the abilities associated with tieflings have always said things like infernal...

While I do like Tomb of Annihilation quite a great deal, it is at odds with the themes present in Black Panther. T0A perpetuates a popular racist trope (probably unintentionally) that has been prevalent in D&D and most other fantasy mediums for a very long time. This trope portrays black people...
