[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 5465352, member: 2067"] Can I be so bold as to ask you to explain how/why? What is cool about beard quills? Do they just fall into that whole "D&D can sometimes be wacky, now go kill flumphs with your facial hair, you crazy helldwarf!" bracket? I like modrons, so I can grok that different people have different, arbirary calibrations for "too frickin' goofy." I mean, I think they were goofy on the barbazu, and in the 3e monster, too. The devils get a mild pass from me (they're goofy, but in one monster out of over 5,000, it's easily overlookable), but I wonder if I'm honestly not appreciating some subtle way in which a sword-n-sorcery hedgehog is truly the stuff of awesome. Unless you just mean the whole "helldwarf" angle is cool? In which case I'd broadly agree, though I've got plenty of quibbles with this particular angle on the helldwarf. But really, I'm interested in finding out what people <3 about those beard quills, since they're the thing that I can't easily swallow. [/QUOTE]
