Few things stand up to testing in the field. It was for this reason that I ran a full combat with vox machina (using the stats from the reborn campaign book) against Nezha and his associates. The fight lasted just over five rounds. I used 2024 versions of certain spells and creatures, and...

Nope, you are good.

Wholeheartedly agree with all of this. It is refreshing to see someone else who understands the nuances and difficulties inherent in epic level 5e play. As someone who has played for and DMed for epic level characters in every edition of the game, I understand many of those issues all too well...

I am in fact! Good to know about the stat blocks. With the number of changes that might occur in a month when the MM releases, I might hold off on feedback until that point. That being said, I greatly enjoy many of the concepts in the document (Tiamat being a multi body part monster...

So I have to ask, is this meant to be an inspiration project, or is this something that you actually expect to see use at a table. I ask this because whether the stat blocks in here are meant to see play will heavily influence my feedback on them.

Out of curiosity, how will your fighter be able to resist the DC20+ banishment effect? DPR is not the biggest killer in high level play, it is saving throws. Anyone who is not a monk or paladin becomes literally unable to succeed at any saving throw they are not proficient in at high levels. A...

Hey Dave, I got a chance to look over these abilities and features and must say that these are all fantastic additions to a dragon's combat routine! Just a note on Crush, as written, only targets that dodge the attack and do not have a reaction are grappled, when I believe the intention was to...

Wow you really have gone all-in on the different attack modes haven't you :) I absolutely agree with you, dragons are special, and to have them be treated as simply normal monsters is doing them a disservice IMHO. Do you want someone to playtest these dragon rules? I can probably do so...

Looks good so far. I am curious to see where you are going to go with this, and whether you are going to stick with the AD&D 2e based lore or are going to head off in your own direction. Once the alternate abilities are posted, I will be sure to give you feedback on them.

It seems a bit strange to jump from mythic to non mythic with a higher CR, then jump back to mythic again and repeat the pattern. Especially as the bounded accuracy nature of 5e means that increasing CR by just 5 or so levels will probably result in the mythic dragon winning in a fight (doubled...

You got any sat blocks of great wyrm dragons made? I like the idea of building her using a great wyrm dragon as the baseline.

Hey Dave2008. What do you use currently to calculate CR for these creatures? (Asking because if I am going to rebuild Rajara using your rules I will need to know what the baseline numbers are for her). Do you have any recommendations for what her CR should be as a draconic quasipower?

As a side note, I would be very very careful with the limited magic immunity trait for your deities, there is a very good reason as to why Rajara only has it up to 3rd level (and I have been considering removing it altogether). It is an extremely problematic trait that essentially locks anyone...

Hey Dave2008. Are you planning on making traits for demigods? It seems strange to not have any traits for them when you have traits for other types of divinities. I am considering doing some big updates to Rajara using your rules as a baseline, but as she is only a demipower (at most) it is a...
