    D&D 5E (2014) Does anyone who got an mm at Gencon want to offer up spoilers to us?

    Let's see. They all have a cool ability "False Appearance", which lets them look like something else from a distance. Other things have this ability, too. They're susceptible to antimagic. Animated Armor, CR 1 Flying Sword, CR 1/4 Rug of Smothering, CR 2 Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E (2014) Does anyone who got an mm at Gencon want to offer up spoilers to us?

    The shriek is audible for 300' and continues for 1d4 rounds. Repercussions seem left up to the DM. Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E (2014) Hoard of the Dragon Queen: As it Turns out, it's Pretty Good (so far)

    **Spoilers** This is addressed in the adventure. The dragon doesn't really want to be there. The dragon doesn't want a confrontation with adventurers. The dragon is doing the bare minimum because of an obligation. Fighting adventurers rises above "bare minimum". I think it's a little like...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does anyone who got an mm at Gencon want to offer up spoilers to us?

    Whole categories of questions I don't have to answer! And to the one who asked: it appears unicorns are, in fact, the lowest CR legendary creatures. Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E (2014) Breaking down the door

    Let them try as often as they want. Every time they try, I roll 1d6. On a result of 1 or 2, I roll on the Attracted Monster Table. I'm running Ruins of Undermountain (converted to 5e), so my answer may not be the best overall. Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E (2014) Icons of the Realms Tyranny of Dragons Miniatures

    Wait. Nap time ends? :.-( I used gladware bins for a while, and they had these problems. But browsing peoples' suggestions ignited my wife's imagination. Part of the issue is our game room is a repurposed dining room, so she wants containers to be nicer looking than ziplock bags or the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Icons of the Realms Tyranny of Dragons Miniatures

    Ha. I'm so into the world of having young ones, I never thought about how that might sound. We have 3 under the age of 6 at home. "Nap time" is the blessed 2 hours of silence I get during the day to relax or actually accomplish something. Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E (2014) Icons of the Realms Tyranny of Dragons Miniatures

    You guys rock. We just spent nap time sorting our minis. Next stop—Bed, Bath, and Beyond. I'm pretty sure the game store counts as beyond. Also, the next time someone asks if you're an enabler, you should answer "yes". Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E (2014) Icons of the Realms Tyranny of Dragons Miniatures

    My wife and I have agreed that until I figure out an effective way to organize my pounds of collectible minis, I shouldn't buy more. So can anyone point me to a good technique for organizing minis? :cool: Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E (2014) Monster Manual soon to be in the wild!

    There aren't other names for any of the fiends listed, though they are listed by type. Balors and goristros are Type 6, for example. No mentions of the Blood War that I see, though they talk about archdevils mustering forces and demons conscripting souls and the like. I don't either. :)...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does anyone who got an mm at Gencon want to offer up spoilers to us?

    Doesn't look like it. EDIT: They are the angelic versions. "Devas are angels that act as divine messengers." I was a little surprised by how low the CRs were, too. Looking at the stats, I'd probably go +2 Dex, +1 (Con or Str). That fits the modron stats the best. But that plus truesight...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does anyone who got an mm at Gencon want to offer up spoilers to us?

    They are constructs, so, yes, that is a difficulty. One that can be handwaved or otherwise worked around. Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E (2014) Does anyone who got an mm at Gencon want to offer up spoilers to us?

    Pages of background info. Two neat pieces of art—one compares the sizes, in silouette, of the various types, and one compares the sizes of the boulders they throw. Fire, Frost, and Hill are big hits and rocks guys. Cloud and Storm have innate spellcasting and a couple of other things. Stone...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does anyone who got an mm at Gencon want to offer up spoilers to us?

    And distilling the book to just rules does it a disservice. There is much more to the MM than rules. I am enjoying reading it, and every couple of pages I have a new campaign idea. Thaumaturge.

    Sahuagin (CR 1/2) Sahuagin Priestess (CR 2) Sahuagin Baron (CR 5) They all get blood frenzy, they have advantage on mêlée attacks against creatures who don't have their full hit points, so ouch. They can also telepathically talk to sharks, and they only need to return to the water every 4...

    D&D 5E (2014) Monster Manual soon to be in the wild!

    At least 2 higher than the average level of the table I'm DMing. Thaumaturge.
