Do you like modrons?

[an_idol_mind]

Modrons are great. And they're no sillier than gelatinous cubes, owlbears, and Bigby's Hand spells.

I must have Modron miniatures. Give them to me, WotC.

Psst. I think there's a reason that they're shaped like dice.

Thinking about it, I think that I like "A modron" but hate "modrons." Having more than one of them in a game would mostly just be annoying.

I'd rather be a philosophically malfunctioning outcaste modron named Time Cube, personally.

But there are 4 simultaneous modrons named Time Cube!

But you can only perceive one per synchronious rotation of cubic time.

I never really liked Modrons until Paizo did them up for 3e. I loved that write up and I'd like to see them brought back into the game.

 

[CleverNickName]

I voted "no." If I were playing a steampunk game, I'd have them all over the place...but they feel out of place to me in my sword-n-sorcery games.

 

[Shroomy]

I love modrons. I say bring 'em back to 4e!

 

[Alzrius]

Our beloved modron! We love you!

 

[Treebore]

They are a great threat to a high level group. So I like them.


Slaadi rule!! and make the best opponents, as far as I am concerned. Still, Modrons are of great use.

Blah. They're stupid, and don't fit in with sword-n-sorcery.

Maybe their time has passed, but if you knew anything about the Great Wheel cosmology from prior editions of the game, you would not say that. Modrons from Mechanus are every bit as necessary to the D&D creature collection as demons, devils or slaad.Maybe their time has passed, but if you knew anything about the Great Wheel cosmology from prior editions of the game, you would not say that.

1. If Tewligan meant S&S in opposition to high fantasy, I think he is right, especially in that a S&S shouldn't have a balanced cosmology. IMHO S&S needs to avoid the celestial bureaucracy concept. The afterlife in S&S should always be a feared mystery, making living to the next day more important than being moral in hopes of eternal reward.
