    I have. Lots of great designs.

    In no particular order: Immolate foe should imo afffect more creatures. Spending the dragon's entire turn on possibly removing fire resistance from 1 (it gets better with higher CR, but so does the opposition) opponent seems like a waste to me. Now, choosing a number of creatures up to its age...

    D&D 5E (2014) Kobold Press (and are they the new Paizo?)

    I read up on Brilliant East after hearing about on this forum. In a thread (think it was Giant in the Playground), a Kobold representative said a) Brilliant East is not for release due soon and b) all but said directly that the net KS is Southlands. This was yesterday or the day before.

    Southlands 5e is supposedly their next Kickstarter.

    D&D General What's your favorite starter sandbox region?

    I'd like to see those notes!

    I know this is old school, but I liked the variety of 4e dragon alignment. They are mortals themselves. Familiars? Paladin mount? Skill check? This is convoluted. I suggest double range when it flies. Makes it easier to remember. No dex to AC armor? I like this 🙂 Edit: tactics...

    D&D General What's your favorite starter sandbox region?

    This, and Neverwinter Campaign Setting. I have a map from the web placing the Nentir Vale next to Neverwinter, making it my perfect sandbox.

    Isn't is the ooze making it resistant? I feel like it should be resistant to bludgeon, piercing and slashing period - at least unless the weapon is at least very rare (and probably legendary, given its CR). Do you mean up to two, or does it make a difference whether it's a reaction or legendary...

    Right. I'm just trying to figure out how to get to CR. RAW is pretty indifferent to non-damaging spells/attacks. BTW, I don't think blur is a game changer at CR21, and neither are charm effects.

    How do you get CR21? HP 375 = CR20. AC 18/19 (this is not explained btw) = CR20 Dam/round = 100 (23*13) = CR16. Attack bonus +15 =+3 CR = CR19. Final CR 19/20.

    I actually meant a move that doesn't provoke O I meant a move that doesn't provoke OA, but of course one doesn't exclude the other. Edit: pretty sure we agree. You will introduce several ways to tactically move. Tactical teleport will be one for certain. Check.

    Many monsters in 4e had something like that. Just introduce it.

    When I commented, I didn't know if the bite would end up using a bonus action or a reaction. If a reaction, it would need to be able to compete with torso bite. Not relevant now.

    The Klurichir will never use its bite. Edit: needs to be bonus or reaction and in some way better than torso bite.

    You did. I guess it's okay. But I don't see the marilith using teleport before it's done for. No, I read it right, then. So losing 5-6 reactions to get rid of some effect. Tough choice. OK.

    I want to say the target instead of "it". I read it multiple times and kept reading it as the nalfeshnee that somehow got a disadvantage. I know there's nothing grammatical wrong, I just kept reading it so and a little change might help others - or me at least

    Marilith Brute is not factored into the melee damage. Should be 3d8. It should be able to teleport without spending the entire turn doing so. Otherwise, it's a useless ability at CR17. I seem to recall this is a common critique of the WotC marilith. I can't figure out how reactive works with...
