[QUOTE="Tovec, post: 6120321, member: 95493"] On one hand I really dislike classifying Slaadi as Aberrations (with the far realms implications that the term now has). But on the other, I've never had reason (outside actually going to Limbo) to use them. Chaos should not be colour-coded IMHO. I think creatures of CN (called Slaadi) could be done better. And I would not classify them as Fiends nor as the current version of Aberrations. I think they fit into categorizations that are a little broader that we no longer seem to have, which is a shame as if the LN and CN [i]outsiders[/i] no longer have a place I wonder which other creatures miss out. Modrons I do see as constructs but their physical appearance will vary in my group and my friend's group depending on which visual look we prefer most, so I don't see the problem there. I have had the chance to use them, though I find that most of the time it is the rogue modron that sees the most play and it seems like there is the least information for them. I don't really like the description given, however, I find it to be more simplistic than any other outsider article I've read from them on 5e. [i]Okay, they're ordered... and??[/i] Modrons will continue to have uses in my games but ultimately if they cut them I will reskin Inevitables, and failing that, Golems or other constructs. Either way I think there are places to keep both creatures but they need to put some thought into it and not just ask us what we want. Those of us who use/d planescape have that material still. What is 5e going to do differently or new? [/QUOTE]
