Message: <blockquote data-quote="James Jacobs" data-source="post: 3318236" data-attributes="member: 23937">The revised arcanaloth is a CR 17 creature, and it's significantly more of a CR 17 creature than the version that appeared in MMII. I know this creates an unfortunate bit of weirdness with the MMIII ultraloth being CR 13. For Dungeon's take on what I think a "proper" ultraloth should look like, check out page 84 of issue #141 for a CR 19 advanced version of the one from MMIII.I'd hoped to be able to print the actual stat block of the revised arcanaloth in the issue as a new monster, along with the 3.5 stat block for the other updated planar creature that appears in that adventure as well (it's a tertian modron), but the issue was really jam-packed and there just wasn't room to do so. I did give the arcanaloth back a version of his ability to blast enemies with fire if he so chooses (something that they haven't had since 1st edition), though. They're properly tough customers again, I'm happy to report.I suppose the next project should be the hydroloth, or maybe the dergholoth...</blockquote>
