The Bite attack has a few errors, see the current Green Gremlin for the (hopefully correct) version.

Speaking of corrections, is the Typo in the Enworld version? If so I'll need to fix it.

Also, I forgot to deRED part of the Enworld Gremlin's Variant: Green Gremlin Familiar entry so have just fixed that.

It doesn't affect the D&D Beyond version.

Still doesn't match. The damage is too high and the first/second sentence has been changed in the current version, which is:

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d6 + 1) piercing damage and the target must succeed on a DC 11 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. A frightened victim must take the Dash action to move away from the green gremlin on each of its turns, unless there is nowhere to move. If the target ends its turn in a location it doesn't have line of sight to the gremlin, it can make a Wisdom saving throw, ending the fear effect on itself on a success.​

That matches the ENworld version if you're OK with it lacking the " " em-spaces at the start of some of the paragraphs in its Description.

ok happy then.

PS: just looked at gremlins in 4e MM3 ...wow...much stronger!

Will update the Completed Fifth Edition Creatures Index and White Dwarf Conversion Index then.

Yes, as I mentioned earlier there's piles of different versions of Gremlins in various editions of D&D. Some of them are pretty powerful, with some being able to turn invisible and inflict terrible bad luck on their victims or sabotage their actions.

So what's next for this thread?

I guess we should sign off on the Pine Kindred as I think we've finished with them.

I guess we could continue doing the monsters from the Fiend Factory One-Eye Canyon scenario in White Dwarf #21 as we've done two of them already, the Brothers of the Pine and Enslaver.

Let's see, in order of publication the remaining entries are:

Chthon​

Miceman​

Dragon Warrior​

Grey Squaarg​

Cyclops [maybe with Amiraspian "Half-Cyclops" High Plainsmen/Griffon Riders]​

Any of them appeal?

Ok _ I haven't published any pine kindred until you were happy with all of them. Wanna give one last look (am going to sleep now) and I'll be back in 7 hours. Re other critters...I alwasy liked the chthon and made this months ago...just bare bones..
