Kudos, my friend.Mike, these are an excellent idea, and I have been very entertained and interested in them <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I am planning to try out your Orge Mage version as the BBEGs in Murann (from FR) in an upcoming game. CR 20, or so <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I can't wait!I am also verily amazed at the excellent conduct of this thread and how this sort of project is 'provoking good conversations', as Mearls put it <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Well, with all fairness, I think this should be a fairly big priority when craftng critters. We wouldn't have D&D if we didn't have this amazing mythological / folklore / religious backdrop which has spawned stories running the gamut from bible tales to moral stories. If you don't at least try to stay true to them, you are doing yourself a misnomer. Mike, despite the fact that these "rethinkings" are just a thought excercise, you are a god amoungst men in the RPG community - when you talk people listen. And I am sure some are listening very keenly right now with this revised monsters, reguardless of what reason or lable you put on your purpose to do so.I really like what you are doing so far, however. It's interesting; what other monsters do you have in mind? I personally submitted the Bodak which I feel is a whackjob of a monster.And for this, we thank you. Mike, you have been stirring up some big waves in D&D recently, and I can't wait to see what else you have to contribute.Now, if only Dodge gave a straight +1 to AC <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
