    How do you get the 30 extra hit points from one legendary resistance?

    D&D 5E (2024) 2025's Ancient Green Dragon Stat Block From The New Monster Manual

    Yeah, the problem is that, with more robust spells (like Charm Monster and Polymorph), there is a lot of "edge case" language. It's hard to decide what to include and what to leave out. The damage spells are simple (nearly one-liners). The edge-case spells make me not like the additional spell...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2025's Ancient Green Dragon Stat Block From The New Monster Manual

    This is why I prefer to design stat blocks with an extra "block" of spells that can be referenced or not. I get it that a publisher is not going to waste the money on paper, but it is immensely helpful in combat for DMs. Something like: Followed by (on a separate page, or the back):

    D&D 5E (2024) 2025's Ancient Green Dragon Stat Block From The New Monster Manual

    I have modified my version of the stat block based on previous comments: It's 47 lines versus 53, and it has hanging indents.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2025's Ancient Green Dragon Stat Block From The New Monster Manual

    I get this. I have gone back and forth with that very thought. Yup - agreed; however, I am thinking of a 3rd-party, PDF-only product. It's not a "confusion" per se. It's more of a visual distraction. For example, if you had a line like: Immunities: Acid, Blinded, Lightning, Poison...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2025's Ancient Green Dragon Stat Block From The New Monster Manual

    Actually, my edit at the end of the post (and what is confirmed by Chaosmancer) is that there is a justification. The dragon has proficiency in Initiative.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2025's Ancient Green Dragon Stat Block From The New Monster Manual

    Okay, I am a stat block nerd and have been designing and redesigning stat blocks for years. While I have some minor complaints about the new design, overall, I think it's a good change. Here are a few quick notes, along with some questions I am hoping someone in the community can help with...

    Level Up (A5E) Including Monster Information from Monstrous Menagerie in Adventure

    Got it, and thanks (however, there are two other conversions of this AP on DMsGuild).

    Level Up (A5E) Including Monster Information from Monstrous Menagerie in Adventure

    Yes, on DMsGuilld. In addition to being a collection of stat blocks, it contains the following: Clarifying Content. This is to clarify topics that were either glossed over or make no sense in the original AP. Conversion Complication. This is used a lot for 3rd edition permanency effects that...

    Level Up (A5E) Monstrous Menagerie II: Hordes & Heroes

    Can I suggest a printed discount if a buyer bundles MMI and MMII?

    Level Up (A5E) Monstrous Menagerie II: Hordes & Heroes

    Personally, I am hoping for classic creatures from the Fiend Folio.

    Level Up (A5E) Including Monster Information from Monstrous Menagerie in Adventure

    Got it. And I see that the flavor text for things like demons is not included in that license, correct? (Other than, "Demons embody the destructive nature of chaos.")

    Level Up (A5E) Including Monster Information from Monstrous Menagerie in Adventure

    I am doing a full conversion of a 3rd edition adventure path into fifth edition. I really like the creatures from the Monstrous Menagerie and would love to include their stat blocks along with descriptions, legends and lore, and possibly signs; however, I don't know if this is allowable. So far...

    Level Up (A5E) Parrying Weapons - Decide before or after result is known?

    Coming back to this thread for a follow-up question. The parry that a character gets from using a weapon with the parrying property is never stated as using a Reaction. At my table, I would rule it as using a Reaction, but I am curious if it is clarified anywhere in the text?
