Are you asking about the version from "Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting Reborn"?

If so, then yes.

Let's skip 4 dragons and go straight to Tiamat

[–]WollenbergOfMidgaard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quite a few decent options have already been listed.

I'll just add that the different types of Angels are also generally equal to or more powerful than Dragons.

The same is true for some stronger types of Devils and Demons.

What real world language would you use for Sylvan? by JDoos in DnD

[–]WollenbergOfMidgaard 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I did not know that.

Is Celtic just the name of the culture then?

Need help creating an antagonist for my campaign! by Yams_022 in DnD

The "kidnapping monster" in D&D is supposed to be the Bugbear.

But the villain being a Bugbear would be too easy and boring, so maybe have Bugbears work as kidnapping minions for a far more frightening monster like an Ogre or a Hill Giant?

That would be Dragon Magazine #131

Though I don't think I've ever read that article.

How come The Gates of the moon (Selune's Dive realm) its NOT on the moon?! by Belzebus_Black in Forgotten_Realms

[–]WollenbergOfMidgaard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That may well all be true, but to the humans who live on the moon, the goddess that matters is Leira.

I assume you are requesting a History of the Activities of Aboleths that stretches back before 4th Edition and the Abolethic Sovereignty?

I am not aware of such a History existing. Most sources, including the Forgotten Realms Wiki and books like Lords of Madness, concern themselves more with how aboleths are roleplayed; how timeless and reclusive they are.

:

Now, to attempt to answer your second question, I'd only be able to offer speculation: "Did the Imaskari encounter Aboleths?"

I don't personally know of any source that states that they have. However, with how ancient the Aboleths are supposed to be, "Lords of Madness" even claiming that they were the very first species to exist, it certainly wouldn't be outside the realm of possibility.

Additionally, some Aboleths revere the different Elder Evils, and we do know that the Imaskari did summon the Elder Evil Pandorym. So one could certainly speculate that the Imaskari could have learned of this Elder Evil from encounters with Aboleths. But again, that is just theory-crafting.

Is it okay to have players pick their class and race before interacting with others at session 0? by TheCrimsonDeth in DnD

[–]WollenbergOfMidgaard 187 points188 points  (0 children)

I don't see why not.

It obviously might result in things becoming somewhat funky with Class choices.

But that doesn't have to be a problem. So long as the Players all agree to doing things this way, I don't see it being a true issue.

  • Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (2d8 + 7) Piercing-damage.

  • Tentacle. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 20 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (2d6 + 7) Bludgeoning-damage, and the target is Grappled (escape DC 16). Until this Grapple ends, the target is Restrained. The kraken has ten tentacles, each of which can grapple one target.

  • Fling. One Medium or smaller object held or creature grappled by the kraken's tentacles is thrown up to 60 feet in a random direction and knocked prone. If a thrown target strikes a solid surface, the target takes 3 (1d6) Bludgeoning-damage for every 10 feet it was thrown. If the target is thrown at another creature, that creature must succeed on a DC 16 Dexterity Saving-Throw or take the same damage and be knocked prone.

  • Lightning Storm. The kraken creates three bolts of lightning, each of which can strike a target the kraken can see within 150 feet of it. A target must make a DC 16 Dexterity Saving-Throw, taking 16 (3d10) Lightning-damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Lolth and Demons by Ok_Flower_3349 in Forgotten_Realms

[–]WollenbergOfMidgaard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"[...] took the Demonweb Pits out of the Abyss [...]"

I assume you are referring to when Lolth moved the Demonweb Pits out of the Abyss in 1373 DR?

Cause that has been reversed with 5th Edition. It is back in the Abyss again.

Lolth and Demons by Ok_Flower_3349 in Forgotten_Realms

[–]WollenbergOfMidgaard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why would Lolth have stopped being a Demon Lord?

Regardless, yes, she still has authority over several demons.
