I don't think anyone will be happy with the opposing points of view in this thread. What if we said that demons don't have gender but instead exist with a traditional gendered appearance? That's why the Marilith has always appeared female in physical form and subsequently art.

Probably because I wanted to boost my combat effectiveness if I'm not a dedicated martial character already. Really it is no different than under 3rd edition where everyone and their brother took a level of Rogue just to get skill points, sneak attack and evasion.

Giant colossal monsters in D&D and Pathfinder have always been underwhelming, It's not the reach as I can understand you want the characters to get up and go toe to toe, but the damage is always pathetically weak. I remember, for example, in the 3.5 Tome of Horrors (Necromancer Games) that they...

Not now (although they will remain so in my games) but in traditional D&D lore the Succubus was a CE Demon.

Thanks. I'll have to track that one down.

There are so many still missing that to me are part of the classic D&D. Some that I am missing coming back to D&D with 2024 are: Eye of the Deep. Lurker Above/Lurker Below. Vodyanoi. Pyro/Cryo-Hydra. Gem Dragons. Para and Quasi Elementals. Gorbel. Quicklings. And really I want to see templates...

Greater Restoration. I had missed that too. Must read more closely.

I was about 14 years old and had been wanting to get into D&D since I was about 9. My GM was a guy named Chris (and we are still contact all but a couple hundred miles between us). He wasn't all that into D&D but introduced me to Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, Runequest and Call of Cthulhu...

Horror On The Orient Express.

Thank you. I knew I'd be missing something.

Quick question... In the new 2024 Monster Manual the Wight entry has a Life Drain attack. It says that it deals damage and the target's hit point maximum drops by an equal amount. However, it doesn't say how this is overcome. I couldn't see anything in the spells section that gives a way to...

My apologies. The Dragonmark feats were what I was referring to. Fingers typing faster than my brain. :)

My homebrew world has an artifice based realm (Think Piltover from Arcane/LoL) so this will fit perfect for there. I'll ignore the Eberron specific requirements as it gives more options for the players.

Friendly Local Gaming Store.

D&D is a brand name that a lot people outside of the hobby know of. They probably won't know Pathfinder ..etc. In the past I used to say "like D&D" if playing something else.

My first experience with them, as Maedar, that I recall was in Dragon magazine, probably early into 2nd edition. After that they started to appear in other monster books. They didn't have the snake hair or petrifying gaze though.

I'm not a fan of it but I'll just use the classic imagery. It's something I have noticed with this Monster Manual - changing established appearances, lore/creature types and genders when there is no need to. For me, I'll just stick to the classic imagery that has been D&D for decades.

Below the mines. Shapeshifting horrors!

I allow it but next to one bothers any more. That was more of a 3rd edition thing with us. Under the new 2024, it's generally better to focus on your chosen class over trying to stick another class on. In my current Ghosts of Saltmarsh campaign only one player has bothered to multiclass and that...

If a dice rolls on the floor then you pick it up and re-roll it on the table. Can't hit the table you can't hit the opponent after all. Never touch someone else's dice without their permission and only then if you really have to. It's bad luck for them and you.
