I disagree. I see a lot of AI art (I have both a DA and an AS account) and his work does not look like most AI work.

Just an FYI, Tyler (the illustrator for the new PHB) is traditionally trained and used traditional painting when he started working professionally (including for WotC). He later switch to all digital. However, if you look through his gallery you can't really tell which is which. My point being...

Was it ever actually in official lore? I only ever came across the idea in Dicefreaks 3e very unofficial write-up of him.

You almost make we want to read Dracula again, but I disliked it so much I am loath to try. Of course that was something like 35+ years ago so my opinions may have changed!

Except for the "huge" part that already exists in the DMG.

Inflated numbers are really an uninteresting way to do that IMO. If you feel you need them, pick up a feat that has a +1 and something else. If you are really worried about the numbers, having 2x feats would allow you to get all the numbers upgrades plus a lot of interesting extras. But it...
