Summary
Just a quick little CRT, nothing groundbreaking but in the void of other current D&D CRTs I figured I'd go ahead and post this one. So: Players can kill this thing at high levels, even though it lacks a CR it should at the very least upgrade current CR 34s and above to roughly 2x their current AP. Basically all High 6-As scale to this now rather than their current feat (A phaethon heating the core of planets).

Affected Pages
All the following will just need their links changed:

That's pretty much it. I was considering throwing the downgrade I have planned into this thread but let's get this over with first. Tiny downgrade, I promise.

Hmm isn’t the Murderoid from SpellJammer? He sounds like it. Would that still scale?

Yes, and yes, as Spelljammer specifically interacts with every other core setting (Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, etc). I even read about a spelljammer port that apparently exists in the city of Greyhawk, and the horror of the citizens there as flying boats descended from the sky into the river.
 
Spelljammer also technically crosses over with Mystara as well. Or at least that have Spelljammer type ships.
 
Actually wait, your image contradicts the calc a bit
Most murderoids are 100 miles long, or longer, and their weight ranges from billions to trillions of tons.

The maximum given weight would be 999,999,999,999,999 US tons or 9.071847e+17 kilograms. Which is about 1,000 times less than the mass you used.

I considered this! And I think it needs to be ignored.

If you do the math for the volume of the creature and the maximum theoretical weight, you get a density of 1.926 kg/m^3, which is only ever so slightly more than the density of air. In this instance, I think it's safe to say the creators simply didn't do the math for the thing they were making.

For an idea on how absurd the stated mass is. It doesn't make any sense. Given that size in D&D is generally far more important than weight, I don't really consider the above grounds to disregard the calc.

EDIT: To put it another way, you'd need to assume the Murderoid is 99.925% hollow.
 
I guess if we're doing that then it's probably fine. Though we should still include the Phaethon thing since that's just its passive body heat rather than focused power.

Also one day you'll acknowledge the 4e 5-B feat

tbf both of these are still just via existing. But yeah, I'm fine with allowing Phaethon to remain as a supporting feat.

no
