D&D 5E 5e Updates: Monstrous Compendium

[Obly99]

OK, I wasn't happy looking at my old Epic Updates version of Malcanthet. So, in response to another thread I quickly drafted up a new one. It is still rough, needs an edit pass or two, some statblock refinement, and should be expanded another 2-4 pages to do her justice, but I only have so much time! Please note that this uses some of my custom streamlining of the traditional 5e statblock and my homebrew "Dominated" condition. Also, you can get the PDF here (google drive): Malcanthet

Why large Humanoid? Should not be fiend?

Why large Humanoid? Should not be fiend?

I felt like her "true form" should be larger than Medium. She can shapechange into medium and keep her stats so I think she often appears that way. Yes, it should be fiend, that was a copy paste error I missed.

Hello big dave, very happy to see you back at work...that super timely manual of D&D 5.0 epic monsters, why don't you make an updated version with some changes and possibly more overpower abilities and more powerful monsters...that one The manual is a work of art and could use many updates...my favorite monster there is the seraphim.

Thank you for the kind words. My truly epic/immortal project is mostly dead. Serious life issues finally did it in. So, I am holding off a bit on truly epic stuff until @Upper_Krust Immortal Handbook for 5e comes out. I think it is going to be really good and hackable for my own setting. I would rather stand on the shoulders of giants than climb the beanstock myself at this point!

However, that is for truly epic games (past level 20). For more standard games, I am slowly updating the monsters in this thread. They will not be to wild, I will save that for after the Immortal Handbook comes out. Though, I am near to finalizing my ode to Tiamat, see preview below. It will be 64 pages of Tiamat goodness with stats for her avatars, consorts, and her full power primordal dragon self!

I appreciate the kind words amigo! Slowly inching to the finish line.

The Tiamat stuff looks fantastic, great work.
