Monsters of the Multiverse Breakdown, Part Five

Brandes Stoddard — Mon, 08 Aug 2022 12:00:56 +0000

In this, the fifth and probably final article on Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse, I’m digging into the individual stat blocks of some named monsters. Last time out, which was a few more months ago than any of us would have liked, I went through the stat blocks starting with A to identify major trends in monster redesign. The originals of these stat blocks are in Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes. Part One: Aarakocra – Genasi | Part Two: Githyanki — Satyr | Part […]

The Fiend category of monsters offers a huge array of truly wicked monsters to throw at your party. These spawn of evil can present challenges for every tier of play and a number of adventures are set in the Abyss or Nine Hells or deal with an invasion of demons and devils. If you are hoping to use fiends in your campaign for more than one encounter, make sure they have a solid objective to accomplish in the game world. […]

Continuing the creation of the world of the Zodiac, this week we turn to bards. Bards of the College of Kindly Song travel the land, acting as judges for towns are rural people without steady access to a representative of justice. Of course, the bards are careful to always give thanks to the Kindly Ones.

Unearthed Arcana: Fiendish Options Breakdown

Brandes Stoddard — Tue, 10 Oct 2017 05:10:43 +0000

I don’t know about you, but my September 2017 felt like one of the longest months of my life – so it feels like it’s been ages since the last Unearthed Arcana came out. Today, however, we get a collection of content relating to fiends: new tiefling subraces, and cult boons for devils and demons. It’s a lot of content, so I’m diving right in. Tiefling Subraces Each of the Lords of the Nine gets their own tiefling subrace, which […]

Get to Know the Crossroads

Colin McLaughlin — Wed, 19 Oct 2016 11:00:25 +0000

After a diversion into some discussion of Nemesis, I return this week to encourage people to get to know things. In the name of this spooky season, I am continuing with demons, devils, ghoulies, ghosties, goblins, and so forth. Ok, so I covered a type of devil and scarecrows thus far for the month and that’s it. Whatever, let’s not make a big deal about it. Rather than discuss a particular creature, I wanted to instead talk about the folklore […]
