Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sammael" data-source="post: 2821915" data-attributes="member: 4475">I'll repost what I wrote on Maxminis:1) The "new" statblock has same issues, notably the lack of an "environment" line. It is spelled out in the text later on, but in a non-obvious manner. I really liked being able to instantly see if a creature is fit for an environment or not.2) Creature writeup takes up 2 pages. Since we know of another dozen Spawn of Tiamat that will be in the book, it seems like they'll take up a significant amount of space. Since I don't like the Spawn concept, this almost guarantees I won't be buying the book.3) Major incosistency: aside from being a goddess, Tiamat is also an Archdevil. She would never, ever create creatures that would promote Chaotic Evil behavior with their very existance. All Spawn should have been LE.4) There is an expanded Ecology section, which is nice. But there is also an awful lot of "text-padding." A paragraph devoted to the creatures' alignment? Gah. Filler.5) They are under-CR'd at CR6. They have 8HD, the ability to cast spells as a 6th level sorcerer, and various draconic immunities. They should be at least CR7, more likely CR8.</blockquote>
