Malebranche now a demon

[coyote6]

I don't think demons are going to be elementals; the Abyss may be the bottom of the new version of the Elemental Planes, but that doesn't mean that the demons are just like elementals.

WotC said all but one monster from Desert of Desolation would be in the 4e Monster Manual; I got a large fire elemental out of a DoD booster, so it looks like regular elementals will probably still be around.

And maybe hound, trumpet, & the various other previous archons will still be around, in some form or other.

Yes, but what about genies? I don't want archons and demons being the reason to visit the elemental planes; I want genies to be the reason to visit the elemental planes. And not second-class-to-former-Outer-Plane-resident genies, either. Full blown this-is-how-we-do-it-in-my-elemental-neighborhood genies.

Stephen Schubert (lead designer of DDM) has said that all DoD minis will be in the 4E MM except one.

Can someone explain what the Blackrazor deal is? I looked at the art, and I couldn't figure it out.

Art got changed.

Someone may have kept the original if you're deeply curious.

There is something about the art for the malebranche that doesn't sit right with me…

…Does anyone else feel this way?

P.S. I have no problem with the new take on devils/demons (devils being suave humanoids with weapons and demons being beastly claw your ass types).

Yes. I am really not trying to be needlessly inflammatory, but it looks too "cartoon-ey" for my taste. I prefer a more realistic style of drawing, and the Malebranche looks like something out of a Disney cartoon, with exaggerated proportions and few details.

My thoughts exactly.

…It looks like any minute it's going to break into song (an Elton John one)…

Yeah, I am getting the same vibe.. I really hope it is a very early draft.
