D&D 5E Companion thread to 5E Survivor: Species

[Mind of tempest]

Keeping villains alive is super easy, barely an inconvenience. I announce at the beginning, "I redo all the statblocks for monsters and NPCs," and then redo hit points based on how survivable I want them to be; at best, for me Challenge Rating is a guideline (like every other line in every rulebook).

so just be a master dm, have you considered that fundamentally most people are not that?

You don't have to be a master DM. I'm a barely functional nitwit, and I manage just fine!

In my hurry to get my post in before someone else comments and I have to redo the whole damn thing again, my formatting has begun to really suck. My apologies, @CleverNickName .

Yes! Who's next on the chopping block?

Hmm... good question. I'm working on the menagerie of animal-themed species right now; they are still the most numerous on the list (13 of them, by my count). Then I'll probably move on to either the elves or the tieflings to thin the list even more.

Alas animal themed species, I knew thee well.....

I'm probably gonna go for the Pallid Elves? And then move on to the Tiefling. I don't know why there's so many of those.

Look, we already got those annoying monkey-people from the Player's Handbook off the list...

Sure, after I spent 3 days softening him up for you!

1) Good thing we're not tracking individual XP for kills (gawds that created some terrible incentives when we tried that...)
2) Shadar-Kai are not elves. That's a lie.
