Yeah, there were some things I could nitpick about, but I feel like it got more right than it got wrong.I missed the cockatrices but did see the (miniature) rust monsters fighting over something on a roof beam while Edgin and Holga were being led down into Castle Never's dungeon.Yeah, there was a third group, but I don’t think they were known characters like the cartoon characters were. They were just some randos there to die. (The woman did look a little bit like Jennifer Lawrence to me but I doubt it was her.)On a related note, I feel like that scene also highlights the relative stinginess of the whole “resource management” aspect of D&D as a game. It sucks that a druid can't wildshape more than twice without needing to rest for an hour until they hit 20th level.Same. I’ve long wished that the attunement rules had more meat on their bones and weren’t such a box-checking exercise. (Same with identifying magic items.)I guess Thembie got wise to his duergar minders’ plans for him (viz. Out of the Abyss) and managed to escape from Gracklstugh.That was meant to be Elminster himself (or, rather, Simon’s subconscious projection of him). They even included Elminster’s personal arcane sigil on his brooch. They just changed his appearance from looking like Gandalf/Ed Greenwood to looking like someone who could actually be Simon’s great-great-grandfather. (I appreciated the filmmakers' attention to detail, even if they did take a few liberties here and there.)Kinda puts a different spin on the whole giantess fetish thing.I feel like they misrepresented the Emerald Enclave. They made it seem like it was just a group of elves living in the forest rather than a world-spanning organisation of eco-warriors.Yes. It’s not made clear in the film, but it’s been established elsewhere that she’s Uthgardt.Yeah, that was a fun bit of creative licence. I like how they made a point of showing Doric poking her finger out before wildshaping in order to leave herself an exit hole. It was accurate to have the ones who got out reach back in and pull the others out, though.That could be fun! It would seem that his being marked by Szass Tam has made him immortal (or at least extremely long-lived, since he certainly doesn't look like he's more than 100 years old).</blockquote>
