Updating The Keeper of the Key Working Draft. Works for me! You would be correct. So shall we sort out the fighter bonus feats first. Weapon Specialization seems a no-brainer, and that'll require Weapon Focus. Will we be giving it specialization with both its crystal chimes and unarmed...

Works for me! I'll green all the magenta bits and update all the odonatids then. Might as well put in hyperlinks at the (see "") bits while I'm at it. They increase in power like Chromatics but not size, as all the colours are listed as being 3 to 4 feet long. Yup! Normal-sized odonatids...

Yes, it's weird how they leave out a lot of basic stuff. Although the 5E Monster Manual does have a decent amount of background fluff on its monsters compared to, say, the first couple of 4E Monster Manuals. However, giants are one of the few monsters that 5E bothered giving heights for, it's...

Came up with the following. A typical giant damselfly naiad or nymph is an aquatic insect around 5 feet long, usually green or brown in color. They have wing-nubs on their backs and a "mask" covering the lower face like giant dragonfly larvae, but are far slimmer in build, with flexible...

There wasn't that much to go on in Goatmen of Kavaja, but without inventing too much I came up with this: This person looks like a handsome male elf apart from the legs, which resemble a goat's; they are covered in fine wool and end in elegant hooves. Caprines are an all-male race of goatkin...

Okay, did some more tweaking of the descriptions and variants. Updating the Dainty Giant Damselfly. Updating the Dainty Giant Damselfly Naiad. Updating the Diminutive Giant Dragonfly. Updating the Diminutive Giant Dragonfly Nymph. Updating the Giant Damselfly. Updating the Giant Damselfly...

Upon reflection, I'm going to put "death phantom" in these action option descriptions to make it clearer that the actions are only available to the Huge sized underworld helicopter damselfly (aka the Death Phantom) and not the smaller Ghostwing and Wraithwing varieties. Like so: VARIANT...

Updating the Gladiator Lizard. Sure! The first question, is are we doing it as a complete monster entry or just a hazard? I recall arguing for Hazard, since "he" never leaves the egg in the original story, but used some kind of astral projection voodoo to geas victims to come to the Bleak...

I've done some tweaking to the Mammoth Helicopter Damselfly to polish the wording of the Mammoth Underdark Damselfly variant and add a Tenebrous Helicopter Damselflies subentry, but the main progress is I've done a first draft of the Giant Dragonfly Nymph's Description and added it to the...

Upon reflection, I don't really like the Huge ones being speed 40 ft. Would rather they be 30 ft. like the Small and Medium ones. Will update.

The current versions are: Size Nymph Tenebrous Underdark Dainty blindsight 10 ft. darkvision 30 ft. blindsight 10 ft., darkvision 60 ft. Diminutive blindsight 10 ft. blindsight 10 ft., darkvision 30 ft. blindsight 30 ft., darkvision 60 ft. Small blindsight 10 ft. blindsight 10 ft...

Heck, there's nothing in the rules to say I can't give a Giant Odonatid blindsight 20 ft. or 40 ft. if I want to. My original idea was to give the Nymphs & Naiads the same range of blindsight as the Tenebrous Damselflies plus give the latter darkvision to a longer range, then grant the...

Updating the Caprine Working Draft. Okay. Will have to wait a bit, if only because I'll need to remind myself about the original entries' flavour text. It's been quite a while since I last read it.

By the way, I gave the larvae blindsight 10 ft. because, if memory serves me right, a nymph can sense the vibrations of prey in the water close to it. For comparison, the Crab and Giant Crab both have blindsight 30 ft. while the Giant Wolf Spider and Giant Spider all have blindsight 10 ft. I'm...

Secondly, I'm still dithering over the Speeds. I am now increasingly tempted to give the Damselflies' Giant Naiad and Mammoth Naiad the same speeds as a Crocodile and Giant Crocodile and then scaling the others to that, like so: Size Damselfly Dragonfly Dainty 10 ft., swim 20 ft. 10 ft...

Okay, that took longer than expected but I've finished the updates. Will post links to all the Odonatids to make it easier to look at them, although I've only updated the Naiad and Nymph entries: Updating the Dainty Giant Damselfly. Updating the Dainty Giant Damselfly Naiad. Updating the...

Remembered something I was planning to add to the Underdark Damselfly but forgot to put in the Description. I've amended the Mammoth Helicopter Damselfly as follows.  Ghost and Phantom Larvae. The main reason the drow have failed to exterminate the mammoth underdark damselfly is ghostwings...

Next, the old conversion has Dexterity 11, which seems way too low to me. The original flawlessly coordinates two humanoid arms and seven tentacles at the same time, attacking with no penalties. That doesn't suggest Dex 11 to me! That degree of multiweapon coordination is on par with a...
