I suspect the latter - Mike Shea talks about this often (official dnd monsters doing too low damage for their CR) - but clearly some are the other way. Maybe they rushed them...who knows

O this looks good - question is...if Fiendish does it warrant resistance/immunity to poison (leaning yes) and/or fire (mixed feelings as fire is classically what you deal with these things with)

Ummm.....didn't register...fixed now. plus spacing https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters/4084073-fire-archomental

Using its swarm breath while in swarm form strikes me as really weird. Making it a trait gives it more versatility as not an action as such.

My quandary is...is it a bit odd that it can breathe a swarm and then turn into one as well? Maybe the swarm it becomes has the same hp as it (33), rather than 22, and conserves +4 to hit bonus? Agree about it not gaining immunity ti being charmed and frightened in swarmform

Yeah sure

Yup - looks good - added

ok https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters/4082487-fire-archomental

Cool - I wait with baited (but not noxious) breath!

Minsc and Boos never made it to DnDbeyond sadly and that was released a wee while ago now...so not holding out hope for this one sadly

15 ft and yes to the holy water

Yeah. I will compare and publish (update) https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters/2875011-fire-archomental

Well is nice to have all discussion on a relevant critter/item in the one thread I reckon...

Ok yes happy with the multiattack. Musing on whether 22hp (4d8 + 4) is too weak but can always make leader types/alphas later.

It came up on a random google as I was looking up Tatzelworms to see what versions around there were. Could se no harm and some possible beneift as I thought someone may be interested. Who knows..one or more of the original posters might be (a) around and (b) interested.

Ok - Noxious cough --> Noxious spores (recharge 5-6) I think "charm" is less interesting gameplay-wise for players and GMs but can live with it. Amenable to a restriction. Did you have a CR in mind? Intelligence 8 maximum maybe? ooo...forgot about transforming into a swarm of locusts...yeah...

Sounds fun. Love it. Let's add it.

What did you have in mind with Tempt Aerial Creature Something like: ------------------------------------------- The thrall targets one aerial creature she can see within 30 feet of them and who can see her. The target must succeed at a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw or become charmed until the...

ok your para looks good (agree with rationale on names)...question is about second para (which fits in with my campaign and also (sort of) Gauntlgrym in FR (Maegera)....go for it if yer feeling creative!

Tatzelworm is statted in 5e in Tome of Beasts III, FWIW :)
