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

    Other than combat size, the MM says se the PH(B) for further info on sizes, which doesn't appear to have anything on creatures larger than medium. Thaumaturge.

    They can choose their own alignment and lose the immunity to compulsion trait. Modrons should be as PC-race-able as any of the standard MM critters (orcs, lizardmen, etc.). They range from CR 1/8 to CR 2, with the main difference being number of attacks and stats. They all get truesight, which...

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

    It looks like the 3e chart at first glance. Tiny: 2.5x2.5 Small & Medium: 5x5 Large: 10x10 etcetera Thaumaturge.

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

    It does some of that, but it also says the rules for making monsters will primarily be in the DMG. Thaumaturge.

    Exactly. Thaumaturge.

    Surprisingly, no. There are gnolls, gnoll pack lords, and gnoll fangs of Yeenoghu. They kept the demonic background to gnolls, and those last are a pretty good flind. They're CR4 instead of CR1/2, and they don't have any spells or anything. Thaumaturge.

    There's no LA adjustment. This is definitely "vampirism as terrible curse". Part of the template is the PC's alignment becomes lawful evil, with the option the DM controls the PC until he is cured. I don't think it would be particularly balanced alongside standard characters. Thaumaturge.

    Highest spell level is no higher than 1/3 CR. You can almost certainly guess what the dragon's spellcasting stat is. Thaumaturge.

    Some of them also have a reason to wield a trident instead of a spear. :cool: Thaumaturge.

    Also, make sure to read the disclaimer. For the sake of your brain. Thaumaturge.

    Pretty good guesses. Celestial type. Everything else is spot on. You forgot to guess they are legendary. Agreed. Not that I see. It doesn't call that out. However, there is a stat block for a half-dragon veteran (CR 5), which is called out as being the human veteran (CR 3) with the...

    With some of the more powerful creatures, there is a sidebar detailing the most iconic D&D version of that creature. Examples include: Vampire (Strahd) Death Knight (Soth) Demilich (Acererak) Thaumaturge.

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

    Flipping through it, there is very little rules info for PCs. There's a good amount of lore. There are plenty of allies and villains. There is some stuff, though. It's just hard to tease out without knowing it's there: Half-dragon (I didn't notice a half-demon/devil) Quasits as familiars PC...

    Slight clarification: innate spellcasting is called out as a variant. Thaumaturge.

    I haven't seen anything like that, but today is really my first day to spend any significant time with it. Thaumaturge.

    :lol: Someone is paying attention. I think they look awesome. Apparently, it's reused artwork, though. I'll be extra cautious, and just recommend you look there to see the pictures. I don't see any, though they look fairly easy to reverse engineer. Gain blindsight Pick a color get...

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

    A young or older dragon gets a number of spells equal to Chr mod. These are usable once per day. (There are a few sentences spelling out additional bits). Dragons are all in their own section with two templates as well. Arcanaloth (12) Mezzoloth (5) Nycaloth (9) Ultroloth (13) Thaumaturge.

    Their special racial ability is "hold breath". They can hold their breath for 15 minutes, which will make for neat ambushes. Thaumaturge.

    I'm still recuperating from my return trip. I'll answer a few. No pictures. :) Arcanaloth Mezzoloth Nycaloth Ultroloth (With pictures for each) Thaumaturge.

    Yep. I'll answer questions (next week). I won't post any other photos. Thaumaturge.
