I love this. Eat your kills! Thaumaturge.

They are constructs, so, yes, that is a difficulty. One that can be handwaved or otherwise worked around. Thaumaturge.

Pages of background info. Two neat pieces of art—one compares the sizes, in silouette, of the various types, and one compares the sizes of the boulders they throw. Fire, Frost, and Hill are big hits and rocks guys. Cloud and Storm have innate spellcasting and a couple of other things. Stone...

And distilling the book to just rules does it a disservice. There is much more to the MM than rules. I am enjoying reading it, and every couple of pages I have a new campaign idea. Thaumaturge.

Sahuagin (CR 1/2) Sahuagin Priestess (CR 2) Sahuagin Baron (CR 5) They all get blood frenzy, they have advantage on mêlée attacks against creatures who don't have their full hit points, so ouch. They can also telepathically talk to sharks, and they only need to return to the water every 4...

At least 2 higher than the average level of the table I'm DMing. Thaumaturge.

Demons (CR): Balor (19) Barlgura (5) Chasme (6) Dretch (1/4) Glabrezu (9) Goristro (17) Hezrou (8) Manes (1/8) Marilith (16) Nalfeshnee (13) Quasit (1) Shadow Demon (4) Vrock (6) Yochlol (10) Devils (CR): Barbed Devil (5) Bearded Devil (3) Bone Devil (9) Chain Devil (8) Erinyes (12) Horned...

Other than combat size, the MM says se the PH(B) for further info on sizes, which doesn't appear to have anything on creatures larger than medium. Thaumaturge.

They can choose their own alignment and lose the immunity to compulsion trait. Modrons should be as PC-race-able as any of the standard MM critters (orcs, lizardmen, etc.). They range from CR 1/8 to CR 2, with the main difference being number of attacks and stats. They all get truesight, which...

It looks like the 3e chart at first glance. Tiny: 2.5x2.5 Small & Medium: 5x5 Large: 10x10 etcetera Thaumaturge.

It does some of that, but it also says the rules for making monsters will primarily be in the DMG. Thaumaturge.

Exactly. Thaumaturge.

Surprisingly, no. There are gnolls, gnoll pack lords, and gnoll fangs of Yeenoghu. They kept the demonic background to gnolls, and those last are a pretty good flind. They're CR4 instead of CR1/2, and they don't have any spells or anything. Thaumaturge.

There's no LA adjustment. This is definitely "vampirism as terrible curse". Part of the template is the PC's alignment becomes lawful evil, with the option the DM controls the PC until he is cured. I don't think it would be particularly balanced alongside standard characters. Thaumaturge.

Highest spell level is no higher than 1/3 CR. You can almost certainly guess what the dragon's spellcasting stat is. Thaumaturge.

Some of them also have a reason to wield a trident instead of a spear. :cool: Thaumaturge.

Also, make sure to read the disclaimer. For the sake of your brain. Thaumaturge.

Pretty good guesses. Celestial type. Everything else is spot on. You forgot to guess they are legendary. Agreed. Not that I see. It doesn't call that out. However, there is a stat block for a half-dragon veteran (CR 5), which is called out as being the human veteran (CR 3) with the...

With some of the more powerful creatures, there is a sidebar detailing the most iconic D&D version of that creature. Examples include: Vampire (Strahd) Death Knight (Soth) Demilich (Acererak) Thaumaturge.

Flipping through it, there is very little rules info for PCs. There's a good amount of lore. There are plenty of allies and villains. There is some stuff, though. It's just hard to tease out without knowing it's there: Half-dragon (I didn't notice a half-demon/devil) Quasits as familiars PC...
