So if there was a balor named Jeff that killed Balor then all demons of that type would be called jeffs?

Considering some of the playteststers they were specifically courting... it's honestly amazing the edition has been as enduring as it is.

That's what I suggested. Medsuae and maedars both have M and F configurations, and to have offspring you need to have a female medusa and male maedar or a female maedar and male medusa.

...Also the 4E version which was a swarm of scarab beetles for some reason. Yeah I have no idea WTF was up with that.

The new Solar is crazy. Basically an at-will Power Word Kill but with 600 feet of range, and its melee attack has a ranged option. Plus it gets Legendary Resistances, which it had none of in the 2014 rules.

For some reason I was expecting more beholder, less potato.

That's disgusting that woman has hairy legs! WOTC clearly doesn't want women to be feminine and not have body hair like normal women! (Sarcasm if that wasn't obvious) You know I saw it but I didn't want to feed the trolls.

5e races are technically compatible with A5E. You just don't get a Culture if you pick a race/species from a non-A5E source.

Several of the devils have that rendered look to them. Wasn't a fan in Chains of Asmodeus and not a fan now.

There's plenty of both in the Monster Manual. The undead in particular have some gnarly monsters.

Just for comparison's sake, here's the Mariliths from TOTV and A5E.

I don't like the redesign. I'm okay with making it more monstrous but the way some of the arms appear to be coming out of the stomach instead of the back just bothers me.

No? That was a 2025 MM preview. But the final version has LAs

Instead of a successful hit, I'd make it a Dex Save.

I'm not the biggest fan of the new counterspell in theory, though I haven't ever taken it. I had it used against a character casting a level 4 spell and thought it would have no effect. The DM surprised me by saying we were using the 2024 version which I don't think we'd discussed before. So...
