[QUOTE="dave2008, post: 9565793, member: 83242"] I disagree, but I can understand your point of view. It is not about biology. It is about influence from the Far Realm. Far Realm creatures, or creatures affected by the Far Realm, often have strange biology, but is a one of many symptoms, not the cause for being an Aberration. I feel like that was so clear, but a lot of people have made the same mistake. It must not have been as clear as it seemed to me. I don't think so. From everything they have said over the past few days it is pretty clear that: [LIST=1] [*]monsters can be multiple types. A goblin can be Fey or Humanoid for example. IIRC, they specifically said a Gith can be Humanoid as well. [*]monsters in the MM are not meant to represent every aspect of that species, but just one particular version, see #1 above. [*]Existing non-Humanoid species with PC write-ups are still OK to play and non-Humanoid. [*]They will be introducing more non-Humanoid PC options in a future book soon. [/LIST] Given points 1-4 above, it seems clear to me that non-Humanoid =/= instantly killable and Humanoid =/= not instantly killable. I could be wrong, but it seems clear to me. Maybe we will get more clarity in the Humanoids video? [/QUOTE]
