D&D 5E Mythic Tiamat

[dave2008]

Ok, in the spirit of Theros I was inspired to make a mythic version of Tiamat. Basically the standard Tiamat with Mythic revisions, but I couldn't help but make a few adjustments. So here you go (this is a quick take - I may come back to it later):

I have move this over to my 5e Mythic Monster Updates, thread.

That seems pretty epic. To many knobs and dials to comment on balance, but hey, this is Tiamat, balance isn't the goal.

It is basically Tiamat from Rise of Tiamat with the Mythic template applied. I gave her more spells and legendary spell casting, and a few other bits and bobs, but that should really change her CR much if any. Some point when I get more time at make it a bit better.

I like the Chromatic Breath Mythic Ability. Nice take on it!!!

Damn! This makes me want to run Tyranny of Dragons again!

Tiamat is a lurking presence in Descent to Avernus, and it is possible to persuade her to make a cameo appearance.

THIS Tiamat coming out to play will give the PCs one h--- of a reputation (pun-intended).

Why, Dave? Why?!?

Now that's a challenge! I like the Dragonlance idea:

Raistlin’s lips twisted. “Remember the stars, Tanis,” he murmured. “The Queen of Darkness has returned. Recall the words of the Canticle: ‘swarm of her shrieking hosts.’ Her hosts were dragons, according to the ancient ones. She has returned and her hosts have come with her.”

I'd make her mythic rebirth summon a dragon of each colour

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't beat that. I am putting my character to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do.

Why not?

Actually, i think the mythic template could be applied to a lot of monsters. I just did this quickly without much thought. But I actually love it as method to make stronger monsters without raising CR. Color me happy.
