    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Updates: Monstrous Compendium

    Better. But there's high demand for the Pit Fiend's reactions (unstopable, maneuvers, parry, and now bite), while it has nothing(?) to spend a bonus action on. But absolutely serviceable. :)

    I missed the condition for using the bite. So it's fine. But since it's not a given it wil be able to use it, should it be even more fearful? I mean, so that players really don't want to be grappled. Maybe it requires two saves or something a la 4e to get rid of the poison effect, and/or poison...

    D&D 5E (2014) Who got their Rime today?

    Does anyone know the Pathfinder supplement Irrisen, Land of Eternal Winter? It's about a land locked in, you guessed it, eternal winter, but apparently people still live there and all. It might give some ideas as how to run/handle RotIM, but it might also just use a lot of handwavium.

    What a charming Pit Fiend :devilish: I feel that it should be able to do something to grappled enemies. Maybe a bite bonus action attack (yeah, yeah, I know about maintaining CR :cool:)

    D&D 5E (2014) New Ice Wind Dale Map Is Great

    Is it the same as in Legacy of the Crystal Shard?

    D&D General Great and not so great setting specific sourebooks/modules

    IME the character mechanics are too 4e to really convert. But everything else is a piece of cake. Just insert whatever reskinned monster you need or build your own. I've done it with no sweat, plus it has the added bonus that I can set the level to what I need. Someone already converted the...

    +1 for Silver Marches. Also, the Neverwinter Campaign Setting for 4E is made of awesome - bimming with open ended plots and adventure ideas. (and easily converted)

    D&D 5E (2014) Dragon Age Categories: The Poll!

    Well there you have it then. 6 age categories ;) On the other hand, I like it that not all dragons go colossal.

    D&D 5E (2014) Previews of Rime of the Frostmaiden

    Which is all cool. The reason I asked is that one is a subterran empire of undead, the other a magical empire of flying cities. IMe, when people substitute one element from a setting with another, there's just some similarities (other than they are both eviiiiiiiiil) :)

    Could you elaborate? I don't see any similarities at all.

    WotC Birthright may be opened up for DM's Guild

    We know. But this is just uploaded and free. Like I said, the purpose of spending ressources on prepping this and then offering it for free is not clear to me, if it's not in preparation fo doing something with Birthright.

    WotC Birthright may be opened up for DM's Guild

    Link fixed. No idea how I messed that up :oops:

    WotC Birthright may be opened up for DM's Guild

    Saw this. Don't see much purpose if it's not for opening up Birthright for DM's Guild

    🤔🤔 Could have sworn the Azer scored a critical against a creature that hadn't acted yet. My mistake then. Sorry.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Updates: Monstrous Compendium

    Is there any particular reason the Assassinate trait for the Azer is superior to the Bugbear's?

    Pathfinder 2E Release Day Second Edition Amazon Sales Rank

    In other words, another Heartbreaker. It's already been done, btw.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Updates: Monstrous Compendium

    The thought was, it makes it close to official 5e CRs and this is the edition they're designed for after all. That also imo feels like a nice spot. Maybe aim for around that? Looking forward to it.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Updates: Monstrous Compendium

    But why not stay closer to 3e, 4e and 5e CRs, and then let the number of mythic stages be the upscaling factor, like you considered in an earlier post? Edit: myself I'm thinking a base CR of the 4e CR minus 5 (except Gods) . So Demogorgon CR29, Tiamat CR30,Orcus CR28, Ancient Red Dragon CR25...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Updates: Monstrous Compendium

    I really like Demogorgon at mythic CR28ish and Tiamat (the uber dragon) being CR30ish. Closer to WotC, not just bigger numbers and actually sort of fightable for 20th lvl tricked out parties with some boons. A bit concerned with 'regular' dragons going so high, not too mention Amman, who is not...
