It damn well is in my 5e cosmology!

Since nobody has really given you the lore on them, I will do my best. Note that I am not an expert on Planescape, which is where I feel the most and best lore regarding them comes from. I am sure that what I am posting will be incomplete and will likely have some errors in it. Yugoloths are...

Elves had clerics; they were just npcs.

I offered a different construction exactly to point out that it is possible for them both to be right while arriving at different conclusions.

This is one of the things that really bugs me. Pcs now have no way of knowing if things like charm person, PfGaE, etc will be effective against a given lizardfolk or goblin- and there's no way to really learn, since the answer by RAW is "sometimes it will and sometimes it won't". This is, in...

The first Creature Catalogue or whatever it was called came out before the 3.0 PH. EDIT: At least, I am pretty sure it did.

If Alice says that light is a wave, and Beth says that light is a particle, both are correct. Neither is completely correct. That's the kind of thing we're talking about when we discuss the planes- multiple perspectives can be correct, because no mortal fully understands the issues being...

Implosion is a 3e spell, but I may not have converted it yet. It exists in my campaign based on having been used in the past, so it's eventually going to be converted. I often reference items, monsters, and spells that I haven't converted yet; all previous edition material is valid in my game if...

Unfortunately the fumble charts are hand written, so there's no digital version. The crit charts, on the other hand...

I don't recall it from the 1e DMG, although maybe it was in the big monster index in the back. The first place I saw it was in Polyhedron Magazine, the official magazine of the RPGA, during the 1e era. 2e made it a thing in the PH.

There were. They were in the 3.5 Monster Manual. The original monster creation rules for 3.0 were first released in an issue of Dragon Magazine.

Reskinning is a far cry from making your own monsters.

How about: 4. All models of the cosmology are merely different ways of looking at it through the limited understanding of mortals, and no one can be sure what is actually going on because it requires senses and understanding well beyond what mortals are capable of?

Not unique- generic to all Humanoids. Grumpy old man is not enamored of this change.

He looks like he's flipping you off. Love it.

God, no. No thanks. AI is not impartial. It's hard to pin down what its prejudices are, but it's illuminating to look at, for example, how it has judged beauty- lightness of skin seemingly being a big factor for it. It carries the baggage of the information that has trained it, and that's...

The real trick to Bone Hill is that the eponymous secret is not spelled out in any one place, but rather you have to put it together based on a number of encounters and various notes. It's all about the mysterious skeleton in the dungeons below the ruin. Bone Hill (the module) is really more or...

As a FR-hater, I say that this is nonsense.

The solution isn't to change the rules on targeting or have the DM disregard them; the solution is to have not changed the types of all the Humanoids into non-Humanoids in the first place. Yeah, I'm going to complain about it. It's a dumb change that didn't improve the game at all and was made...

I object to the Knowledge domain being characterized as a Forgotten Realms domain. It was a basic, well-loved, and much-played PH domain. It shouldn't appear in a campaign-specific book, but rather in a book of generic options.
