A memory-eating ooze seems more in line with the "Mud Sorcerer Cult" that loves all these ooze and slime and mud, worshiping a syncretic form of Ogremoche and Olhydra, that I have has another faction I am planning to introduce later.

I guess I need to start by looking up what the heck an "oblex" might be. :LOL:

I wasn’t sure which poll choice best fit my approach. I create random encounter tables based on terrain and/or locations. They are mostly used when traveling between places or exploring a specific location unless there are specific encounters that make sense to what is going on that are only...

The evil water elementalist cultists that once made use of this desecrated temple of a local agriculture goddess flooded the lower levels and set loose/summoned some terrible monster down there. Their evil earth cultist rivals have taken over the place, but even then stay away from the flooded...

In my current homebrew setting color coding is an attempt by sages to apply a framework through which to understand dragons that doesn’t actually adhere very well to reality (dragons are mostly thought to be dead or asleep), rather the colors may allude to their lineage but does not necessarily...

Thanks! I don't really do PDFs (except as back-ups to print stuff) and PoD often feels overpriced - but I will definitely check 'em out.

I'd give every registered user on ENworld (approximately) $8500 (unless they are on my ignore list).

Based on this post, I am gonna keep an eye out for a cheap secondhand copy of the 4E MM.

I knew someone was gonna make that joke as soon as I hit submit, and cringed, but at least it was @Snarf Zagyg, so it was halfway decent (but only halfway). ;)

It depends on the specific scenario. It depends on the game. It depends on the table culture. It depends on the GM. It depends on individual players. It depends on your mood. It depends. . . It depends. . . It depends. . . It depends. . .

Looking back over this thread, I laughed when I got to this, because by the time I got around to actually including it, I changed it back to fey.

Bias? ;):LOL: I gave away my 4E books in 2009 and correctly or not, I think of the rules as so far out there that I never think to check its versions of monsters. I feel like I have plenty of sources to use without 4E, but now that you've mentioned it, I will take a peek when relevant, if I...

Sorry for the delay in response. As I suggested above, when linking to this thread, since I mostly convert older edition adventures to 5E I am frequently looking up the monsters included there in the 5E MM, being kinda disappointed in the adaptation and then doing my own by looking back at...

I don’t think I understand your question or what my post has to do with agency.

Ultimately, “that is how we play/ed it and it works/ed for us” is the best answer seems like the best answer I can expect about a lot of topics on these boards.

My feeling is, if you don’t want the possibility of that kind of story (where the fiction of the pact matters) don’t play a warlock. At least, that is what I’d say to anyone wanting to play one in a campaign I was running.

I will have to say however that both my groups tend to short rest as much as possible, so having fewer HD to work with matters to the table style.

They’d get to choose which they spend. I see no issue with that. They are still giving that up for other potential magical uses (many magical items in my games grant additional powers via spending HD*) or regaining HPs. I personally enforce a lower HD replenish before bigger HD do house rule...

😂. I just got sucked into reading that old thread and it eventually takes up the very debate in this thread. Nothing ever changes on ENWorld.
