O.k., Lets flip this on its head. If you have a party where everyone has rolled under average hit points, say they all have around 49% less, then monsters wold be significantly harder to defeat. Would you increase the Challenge of the monsters due to that?

I don't think its intended that you apply the 'Modifying a Monster' rules in these circumstances; average Hit Points are pretty clearly labeled as 'average hit points'. Which to me implys that members of the same stat block can differ. After all, why even bother listing the dice expression if...

They already are on a dial; any monster can have anywhere between its minimum and maximum HP. This thing can have anything from 84 to 216 without having to alter its stat block.

If you want it to be consistent with prior editions, Thouls should speak Goblin as well as common. Also, given that Thouls could be shamans of up to 5th level or witch doctors up to 4th level, I would probably up the mental stats quite a bit. Intelligence 1 is lower than a Ochre Jelly; Thouls...

Probably the simplest way to handel this would be using the rules for Creating Magic Items in the DMG.

Yeah, that counts. As does the psion class.

See Poll. (assuming I get it working, clicking buttons is scary)

The worst thing about Sword Coast Legends was that by slowly and painfully editing the .JSON (which is a horrid format to work with in a text editor) you could actually radically transform the game and move it much closer to 5e... and then they patched and broke that functionality destroying...

There is a significant amount of information on Hobgoblin Wizards in the book. Probably more so than any other race tbh.

Personally, I think the humanoid/class templates are probably the most useful thing in the book - Although I could have lived without the specialist wizards, most of the others are so fundamental they have been sorely missed up to this point.

Champion is a Fighter with some Champion Sub-class features. Darklings and Darkling Elders are Dark Creepers, the Underdark/Fey creatures that explode when killed. Deep Scions are basically drowning humanoids that have been transformed into shape-changing squid folk by some powerful undersea...

I had totally forgotten I had done this. Having now gotten the Monster Manual, it should have 'Damage Immunity: Poison' and 'Condition Immunity: Poisoned' You could drop the Resistance to Non Magical Weapons as it is not an ability all Demons have, but given this guys relatively low Hit Points...

I think its clear that SCAG had a very mixed reception. On Amazon it averages 3 stars where as most other 5e products are 4 or 5. On ENWorld its currently rating 63%, which is again around the average mark - I think the only hardback that rates worse here is Hoard of the Dragon Queen. Basically...

Given that Unearthed Arcana has not had any useful material since When Armies Clash in March 2015, I suspect many people have stopped engaging with the surveys.

I don't actually own any of them as I swore of buying anything for 3.5 - So if the adventure looked good, and the conversion looked true to the 5e rule set, it's a possibility.

If you wanted to go on Roman lines, theoretically a hundred but more often 60-80. But personally, I would use them for any Hobgoblin Officer type, including an experienced squad leader.

You cannot use Bladesong and use a shield.

TBH, its already possible to get round this by just sticking it in a bag of holding or similar. The custom scabbard is probably an over-investment.

I would probably have it eat a number of spell slot levels per distance traveled. This would mean that the actual number/level of spell-casters on board would be significant, rather than just having the Eldritch Knight always do all the driving.

I honestly do not think it has much chance of getting out of hand.
