D&D General Modrons should be terrifying

[Micah Sweet]

It would really be helpful if they would update the hierarch modrons, so we could have creatures of ultimate Law that are both terrifying and powerful...

There are several 5e versions of hierarch modrons out in the universe, but I agree an official version would be nice.

I have Slaadi born of Limbo, and Chaotic (E).

The other major race of creatures from Limbo (in my campaign) are the shapeshifting morphing fey like ancestors of the current fey and elves, and they are Chaotic (N).

Haven't named them yet, so far no need, used them as individuals.

I would make the chroma slaadi made to subvert systems of order by violence lead technically by one slaadi lord, with other types of slaadi being different to look at and with different themes.

Modrons have always been terrifying. The fact that they are often shown as cute or funny has never been an impediment.

The fact that they're not scary actually makes them more scary. They aren't designed to intimidate. They designed to do business.

And if their business is killing... Well, business is good.

Isn't the 4E version of the Slaadi more in line with the notion of being Chaotic and crap? I legit remember there being a table where the Slaadi could either ask the most nonsensical of questions, or basically tear its head off, throw it in a direction, and then follow it as said head is screaming/yelling or something?

Dungeons & Dragons - A Guide to the Slaad

Today we're going to take a good look at a really weird monster: The Slaad. My hope in writing this is to give you a nice base of informat...

Said table is on this page entry via the link: You have to scroll down a bit to the section that says "The Plane Below."

Alrighty, an idea for a random encounter.

A single Modron approaches the party, hurls a single dad joke insult, and then gives the party a scroll that authenticates that they have been insulted and leaves.

What does it mean?

The Prime Directive has been fulfilled: now to find its Slaadi Half-Brother. (Which is actually the control gem in its brain.)

And then the Slaad try to introduce their version of the laws:

• An object in motion will be going in the wrong direction.
• An object at rest will be in the wrong place.
• The energy required to change either of these states is more than you want to expend, but not so much as to be infeasible.

I am so freaking stealing this for my game. And this had been a great thread for ideas. I never liked the Slaad. I been seriously thinking of making the unseelie court the face of chaos for my settings.

Imagine this Hexton showing up to beat up your PCs... not sure if they'd laugh or cry!
