    D&D 5E (2014) Swapping critters in an iron flask...adjudication

    Yeah was pondering about the one-hour friendliness and whether that was somewhat like an "attunement" (as it were) but the iron flask description makes no comment about this.

    D&D 5E (2014) Swapping critters in an iron flask...adjudication

    Soo.....in one game I DM, the party has just encountered an angry huge elemental. They happen to have an iron flask that already contains a (smaller) elemental. Where we stopped for the night, battle was about to ensue. The iron flask-holder proposed releasing the elemental it contains (which...

    ok, dumb question - why does the snake constrict anyone if it can't do anything at all? Should it be able to bite at least?

    5E: Converting Monsters from White Dwarf Magazine for Fifth Edition

    Given the space issue, I have a better idea - maybe it has a blowgun with which it shoots darts poisoned with its own venom? And it will have 1d10+3 darts at any one time...

    D&D General Lore contributions from players into a campaign

    I remember DMing in the late 70s and early 80s (Basic D&D and AD&D) and the lore of a world was made solely by the GM and the players just made their PCswith backstories but little else (well, that's how we played it and the modules seemed to concur). Fast forward to the present and there seems...

    seems a bit remiss not to give it some sort of missile weapon. could be a either a bow or handcrossbow

    5E: Converting Monsters from White Dwarf Magazine for Fifth Edition

    that's a good question - am inclined to make it both, mainly for the reason that (like with other lycanthropes) they're in hybrid form 99% of the time when in combat - although another part of me thinks it might be good to reserve for snake form only so there is some advantage to being in snake...

    5E: Converting Monsters from White Dwarf Magazine for Fifth Edition

    Ok - agree on ability stats and AC 13 at bottom Agree on keeping bite mechanic as simple as possible - simplest is CON save or be poisoned - maybe a poisoned subject then has to make a second CON save to avoid lycanthropy.

    5E: Converting Monsters from White Dwarf Magazine for Fifth Edition

    (a) all venoms have been nerfed to some degree from 1e to 5e though but happy to have it a bit spicier than the wereserpent (b) I'd say its lycanthropy should be infectious as that is one of the key attributes of lycanthropes in dnd (c) am thinking a combination - e.g. Australia's most...

    5E: Converting Monsters from White Dwarf Magazine for Fifth Edition

    good question. My feeling is that its abilities from 4e suggest to me CR 2 probably a better fit...?
