Level Up (A5E) Monster preview thread!

Apologies if this has been answered previously, but are there minions in LU?

Ah good idea. Bring back some of 4e's best ideas! We got bloodied, and a Warlord...

Kimd of but they are called something else iirc & pretty much fade offscreen when they aren't doing their thing like a cook cooking for x buff granted or whatever. You can't use them like lemmings to trigger traps

Isn't that what conjure animals is for?

Anything plural has sub-entries.

Does this mean there's only one of each type of elemental?

 

[Morrus]

S is for.... Scorpionfolk!

Oh, and as a bonus preview for today -- Mythological Figures & Maleficent Monsters has finished layout! This book, along with the Core Rulebook and the Monstrous Menagerie, will be part of the Kickstarter in just 4 weeks now!

Between this and the new journey rules I can finally do justice to a campaign that rips off The Mummy. Will my players notice before I introduce an ancient scorpionfolk king named The Rock?

 

[Faolyn]

But do scorpionfolk glow under black light? Do mama scorpionfolk carry their babies on their backs?

Also... venomous fireball? Cool! Kind of wish it were half-poison, half-fire, but still really cool.

 

[SirApetus]

R is for.... Rakshasa!

Curious what made y'all not have damage immunity? I actually liked that part of Rakshasa.

 

[Kozos]

Can I ask some more insight regarding how CR is calculated? The Rakshasha is of the same CR in 5e and Level up however the level up has almost +50% hit points and a much more interesting reaction.
TIA.
