[QUOTE="Casimir Liber, post: 8484336, member: 6947639"] Okay - looks interesting (I had to re-read this to digest) - I like this challenge to make it playable logically (thinking about it, I'm not sure that Albie Fiore gave it this much thought before creating it for the adventure, but I see the potential of some really cool monster here - and also I liked iZombie which had a similar premise....) - I like what you've done to quantify it for 5e and make it playable and think it's the right way to adapt it. - agree about allowing a pact but is up to discretion of patron how to proceed - which could make for some interesting plot play on part of DM in adventure creating and allow some discretion for customizing challenge of monster to players. - with the eating of a new brain of a humanoid with a level higher than an older brain, you're saying the older skills "fade" by a level...? Might be a good way to have them slowly disappear...? - maybe rather than automatically go insane, make it a chance? A DC 10 WIS check per brain of victim 7th level or higher? Or DC 10+1/lvl above 7th? If forgone conlusion, the ape might never eat a strong victim, but if a chance then it might risk it for power....? [/QUOTE]
