Video review of Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes.

[Demetrios1453]

Here's a review of MtoF from Bell of Lost Souls! He basically pages through the entire book, so you can get a glimpse of virtually every page:

I watched the video without sound. Did he skip over the elf subrace pages on purpose?

Also, it's a bit disappointing to see so many art pieces recycled from Tomb of Annihilation.

He was still talking about the Blood War. Didn't really stop until he reached the Gith.

He really had the talent to skip over most racial enties for players and happened to only show those we already knew of...
Maybe wotc asked him to not show them off.

I was looking over the video frame by frame and noticed that demon lords stats have been changed, *every* demon lord has reduced HP, and both Baphomet and Graz'zt had the damage of some attacks reduced.

I do think it's ok if the cunning and mobile demon lords like Graz'zt have reduced hp, but it saddens me greatly to see savage melee combatants without legendary action teleportation like Demogorgon and Baphomet with reduced hp. :-(

Those pieces never got used.

I think their math was edited to match their CR's

Quickly checking Baphomet was CR 25 in Out of the Abyss math wise.

WTF did they do to Sorrowsworn?

They are nothing like 4e, I'm really curious about their fluff now, they look more like creepy horror movie mutant monsters.

Noticed the Elder Evils section after the Star Spawn.

Loved the Deathlocks, great servants for any pact and adds a level of horror to Warlock PC.

Not happy with the Eldarin monster section, I wss expecting Ghaele, hell even 4e had a type of Ghaele. Its just generic Winter, Summer, Autumn, Spring Eldarin.

That could be its unfortunate because its the parts most players are looking forward to the most, although I think Warlocks searching for Patron ideas will be happy with this book.
