Monsters of the Multiverse Breakdown, Part Four

Brandes Stoddard — Tue, 24 May 2022 15:33:56 +0000

This book is finally going on sale as an individual title rather than as part of the gift set, as well as going up on D&D Beyond, so commentary is all over Twitter now. Today I’m getting into Chapter 2: Bestiary – the whole rest of the book, other than some fairly brief Appendices. As a reminder, this book has more than 250 monsters from Volo’s Guide to Monsters and Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes, plus one (1) new creature. I […]

One of the exciting things about writing an aquatic setting is that there are whole creature types that don’t have a single aquatic or swimming creature in the Monster Manual, VGTM, or MTOF. Fiends, for instance. There have been aquatic fiends in D&D – the 3.5e Fiend Folio has four – but they’re rare. To get the obvious thing out of the way, you can just bolt a swimming speed, the amphibious quality, and some gills and fins onto existing […]

Unearthed Arcana: Fiendish Options Breakdown

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.

Get to Know Celestials

Colin McLaughlin — Thu, 15 Dec 2016 13:00:09 +0000

Today I return to the much acclaimed Get to Know series. Ok, I know it’s not acclaimed, and definitely not at a level where I need to modify the size of the acclaim. Whatever, I’m doing it anyway. Instead of looking at a single creature, race, or traditions, I have had a request to look at Celestials.
