I Have A Copy of Monster Manual 5.

[Tuzenbach]

Still no love for the Flumph? Well, hopefully they'll include it in MM6......

 

[DMH]

Do the new illithids have a set description or do they have a variety of forms (due to the chaos they have been exposed to)? Are they psionic, magical or something else?

I'm curious about the sanguinous drinker. Is it related to the (much beloved by me) vitreous drinker from MMIV?

Demiurge out.

Dude, the stats for the Flumph was done in (and I thank them greatly for being one of the only Monster Converters out there, besides BOZ and Shade) Dungeon Magazine #118.

A minor question - do they list the hit Die type in the "HD" of the monster stat block? In MM 4 they gave the number of hit dice and an average hit point total but no breakdown of the numbers (ie 4d8+12 for CON bonus).

 

[Holy Bovine]

Oh and the list of monsters and your descriptions hellium3 have convinced me this one is a must buy for me!

 

[Shazman]

Before this thread, I didn't think much about MMV. Now, I'll probably pick it up if I can find the cash.

Could you go itnto more detail about the classed creatures (especially the classes of the various hobgoblins)? Also, could you elaborate on some of the new feats? Most of them sound like reprints except for the battle tactics,kuo-toa monk feat, and sense whatever.

Hobgoblin Duskblade-3
Hobgoblin Spellscourge (extra hit dice and the mage-slayer feat)
Hobgoblin Warcaster (extra hit dice and some arcane spells)
Hobgoblin Warsoul (extra hit dice and more arcane spells)
Crazed Kuo-toa (extra hit dice and new abilities)
Kuo-toa Exalted Whip (extra hit dice and divine casting)
Kuo-toa Harpooner (Fighter-2)
Kuo-toa Monitor (Monk-4)
The Black Duke - Vampire Knight-7 / Ronin-10
The Red Widow - Vampire Ninja-5 / Fighter-2 / Ghost-faced killer-8
Phantom Ghast Ninja-4
Gruumsh-blooded orc barbarian-5/fighter-2
Thoon Thrall Human Commoner-1

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.

It's the same here, as near as I can tell.
