[QUOTE="Echohawk, post: 9323117, member: 9849"] Monsters! Most recently, I used a destrachan in a Spelljammer game with a sonic-theme. I'm lazy, so I found someone else's homebrew version on D&D Beyond and used that. (Thanks to whoever shared it.) The encounter went really well, as one of the characters had just leveled up and selected [I]silence[/I] as a new spell. Neither I (the DM) nor the other players had noticed this before the session started, but the player was delighted with his fortuitous choice. The players of other spellcasters were less impressed, and had a crash course in figuring out which of their spells had verbal components. My players also struggled a little with not being able to shout their usual tactical advice to each other during the fight, but that challenge made it more fun. Is there a particular reason your starting point for the xag-ya was the 3e version and not the D&D Next version? As an aside, I suspect we'll get an official xag-ya in [I]Quests from the Infinite Staircase[/I]. [/QUOTE]
