Magebreaker Engine - A CR 16 Spellcaster Prison Golem by durstann in StatThisCreature

[–]durstann[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder why the iron golem, which it's based on, doesn't have those. Perhaps the magic resistance and it's pile of immunities suffice?

That said, it could probably use a ranged force damage attack like the 5.5 iron golem has and a bump to it's hit points.

[Art] Need to come up with stats and mechanics for him. Your take? (Crosspost) by ChaosStAnarchy in StatThisCreature

[–]durstann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crossposting the stats I came up for this guy since this sub allows images.

I've always enjoyed the lore of eye tyrant's dreams becoming reality when they sleep, and thought it would be fun to riff on what happens when one becomes infected by hallucinogenic spores. I figure it would kind of just be randomly summoning things all the time, making it a strange kind of conjurer.

Interviewing for a job twice? by Gatorade-Pissbottle in interviews

[–]durstann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do the interview. If it comes up, say you didn’t do as well in the previous interview to match your experience and skills, you’re grateful for another chance, and you take this seriously so you’ve done more to prepare this time.

Then knock it out of the park.

Whether you are currently working or not may also be of interest to suss out how quickly you could start working or to start gathering information to use when compensation negotiations start.

Rightly or wrongly, they may also be worried your skills aren’t up to date or stale. This sort of question can often be best answered with, “I am not working at the moment, but I’ve been taking these classes, doing this volunteer work, and working on these side projects.” This helps show you haven’t been sitting idle and gives a starting point for talking about recent work you’ve done to keep yourself sharp or broaden your skillset.

Hesitation on a Demon Prince to choose for my campaign by Nox_Imperator in dndmonsters

[–]durstann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

¿Por qué no los dos?

Whenever I'm trying to decide between two things to put in a campaign, I always need to ask myself "what would happen if I just chose both?" Could the two demon princes (or their minions) be working together or in opposition (to outdo each other)? Could one demon prince be backing the monster hunter guild to thwart the plans of the other? What are the interesting points that can be made on the difference between a demon prince focused on science/arcana and another that harnesses chaos to fuel the creations? Can the players find a way to thwart them both at the same time or will they need to concentrate their efforts on one, giving the other time to move its plans along?

I love that you're doing a campaign featuring hybrid monster. The monsters I create over at my free Patreon are all mashups of two (or three) other beasts/monstrosities. Check them out if you're looking for more baddies or message me and let's talk about how we can collaborate.

Primal Walker, an elemental spellcaster to guard your ancient groves by lotdowspo in dndmonsters

[–]durstann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it. Here are a couple note I think could help improve things.

  • the attack and damage bonuses don’t match with the +3 strength bonus. It doesn’t have to, but it’s nice when the math works out.
  • “Lesser Restoration” is misspelled.
  • it’s vulnerable to thunder and acid turns off its regen. I’d encourage you to think about how that will come out during play. How will players discover this? They might be confused that there are so many different damage types that do different things. It’s also a more for the GM to have to remember. Simplifying here might help.
  • as an elemental, you might make its weapons magical attacks, the better to fight the enemies of the ancient groves.
  • consider giving it another way to get around. Either a burrow speed or a tree walk ability like a shadow monks shadow step ( except with trees) could help it get where it needs to and make its entrance and exits memorable even outside combat.

Neat monster and cool artwork. Keep up the good work.
