Epic (Cool Dudes Only) Dungeons and Dragons Discussion Thread

I think we now have official confirmation the realm from the dnd show is separate from the forgotten realms.
 
You mean the 1983 cartoon, or something else? I'm asking about the 1983 one because I've been playing in a campaign at my local hobby store made by WotC that's based on it.
 
What is the confirmation, out of curiosity? If it is a different realm, they do have some 'splainin' to do.
 
They made a free adventure based on the show called "Uni and the Hunt for the Lost Horn" and in the setting the adventure part it refers to the Forgotten Realms as a different setting than the Realm

I'm still sad that one of the other guys in my session didn't arrive after the first session for this campaign. He had an artificer based on Dr. Henry Killinger from the Venture Bros and they were really funny.

They retconned Baldur's Gate, those bastards.
 
Speaking of recons they might also be making bullywug fey going by the early version of their new monster manual entry seen in the new adventure.
 
That one might not be a retcon. It has happened before that creatures just sort of become fey creatures via too much exposure to the feywild. This is what happened to firbolgs, for example.
 
I guess it's just sudden and we don't have any explanations yet. They also changed Worgs to fey which seems reasonable. Reading the product details for the new DMG they are giving us Greyhawk stuff in it. Which is ironic since the guy on the last dmg was from greyhawk and the new guy is from a different setting that I was starting to think was going to become a default setting to help avoid contradicting the old lore until they try saying the new versions of the player races spread through the planes.
 
I don't think New Zealand has bears the closest thing they have seems to be seals. That doesn't really matter ultimately though. What will make it different from other owlbears
 
Well, I was more focused on the owl aspect. It's been honestly kind of rough trying to figure out how to handle animal encounters since a lot of animals are on endemic species on the smaller and more passive side of things, or they're invasive species that just so happen to have giant versions in DnD material. It's probably one of my larger obstacles aside from figuring out how to depict the Maori.

As for the Rurubear (final name still in development), I'm thinking that they would be slightly smaller, more nimble (apparently owlbears don't climb unlike actual bears), physically weaker, and more owl-like than standard owl bears, but have better wits and some necrotic spellcasting or a different ability that implies the death association.

I hook horrors and other bird like monsters exist
 
So I have been looking a bit and I am probably wrong but is it possible levels 17 through 20 are multiversal a Zodar is a CR 16 monster that can cast wish as a suicide move with the description saying it does so by warping the fabric of the multiverse and Aurumach Rilmani are said to destroy threats to multiversal stability. The is also some stuff about how characters at this level can effect the balance of power across planes
 
2024 Dungeon Master's Guide straight up calling powerscalers out.

yeah, we aren't big enough to be in their sights, that's just regular nerds
 
Being bit by a moon sized monster is only 24d10 according to the previous DMG, an adult red dragon can survive it barely. Does that still exist it was in the combat section of running the game of the 2014 version.

Yeah, it still says that. It also says that tumbling into an inferno of fire in the plane of fire, or getting crushed by a godlike creature also totals a 24d10.
 
Neat, anyway I heard people talking about how the cube of force changed and that it might be connected to the virtual tabletop thing.
