I Have A Copy of Monster Manual 5.

[RangerWickett]

I have a secret and compelling desire to one day create one of these threads without having a copy of the book in question... and seeing how long I can have everyone thinking I actually own the book.

Thank you for giving me a wonderful idea. Everyone in this thread is hereby forewarned, so no whining when I do it.

RangerWickett did tha way back in the day with Sword and Fist, IIRC. Had people really going.

Tome & Blood, Song & Silence, and Masters of the Wild, and the Draconomicon, actually.

Sadly, the faux T&B and S&S were lost in a board reboot.

The new spell is called Earthbind, and it's a spell like ability cast by the Gadacro, one of the new demons. Now that I looked at it more closely, I think it may be in the Spell Compendium.

Could be. I know it is in the draconomicon, however. I added it to my conjurer PC's spellbook just two days ago.

Thanks for finding the Thoon reference in the Sharn Inquisitive! I knew I recognized the name from something recent.

Are the Mind Flayers presented as Psionic or Magical?

I still remember MM4 and the Githyanki "are a psionic race" and that was the extent of psionics in the article.

"Spawn of Jubilex" Aww... now I'm going to have to BUY it.....

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Thoon sounds like one of the Galchutt to me. Tempting ...

Ok, some questions on the following creatures.

Monsters by type:
Dragon: Chorranathau, Morlincantha.

Could you elaborate on these? These're templates, I assume. What do they do and what're they about?

Elemental: Spawn of Juiblex (all).

These are Elementals!? What explanation do they give?

Giant: Elemental Magi (all).

Alongside more Fey, I always enjoy more Giants. This one is intriguing, the Elemental Magi. Can you tell us a little more on them?

Magical Beast: Rylkars (all) and Tirbanas (all)

I've noticed several pages are dedicated to these and there's more than one type, I assume. Can you tell us what these are?

Monstrous Humanoid: Ushemoi (all).

As above.

Outsider: Dalmosh, Verdant Reaver, Vinespawn.

I'd like a little info on these, too. The Vinespawn is, I'm guessing, a template for the spawn of some extraplanar plant? The Verdant Reaver sounds like something from the Beastlands. The Dalmosh has left me clueless.

Undead: Skill Lord

Of all the undead, what the heck is this one? Such a strange name for an undead creature.

On a final note, can you tell us which on the list are templates?

Who are the artists?

Anything from Wayne Reynolds? Or did Paizo lock him in their dungeon for Pathfinder?
