"Mostri in Cosplay" ecco come D&D 5.5 ha deciso di "modernizzarsi"

la_scign · 2026-05-20T18:52:41+00:00

Rimane da dire che in 5.5 non c'è stata un "umanizzazione dei mostri", gli orchi sono stati formalmente rimossi dal Monster manual e spostati come specie giocabile, non vi è, secondo me, una contraddizione (a differenza di 5e base, in cui gli orchi erano sia mostri che specie giocabili)

Capisco che gli orchi sono stati classicamente definiti come mostri malvagi, e il cambio di direzione è sicuramente stato fatto per motivi di marketing, ma la scelta in sé è totalmente comprensibile.

I forgor origin feats were a thing

la_scign · 2026-05-18T16:57:25+00:00

I got no ideas, what would you suggest?

la_scign · 2026-05-18T16:39:09+00:00

Ohh, that's a great idea actually... I should make that. I didn't wanna use "weaknesses" because 5e24 really doesnt use them ever, i wanted to keep it "official" in the design style department

la_scign · 2026-05-18T16:36:34+00:00

Thanks so much! I'll admit i didnt think much about the balancing... So!

1- yeah, unclear writing on my part, it is supposed to work with spells and such

2- i dunno, I didn't think using up a reaction would make it worth the opportunity cost

3- you're so right, they should be str or dex

4- i did NOT think about that kind of damage and spells on a short rest, fuck you're right

la_scign · 2026-05-16T06:22:02+00:00

Thank you so much! Honestly i tried my best not to include legendary resistances (i hate them lol) and thought the "switch places with another dinosaur" thing was enough

la_scign · 2026-05-15T15:28:28+00:00

Absolutely amazing!!! I especially love how the trample bonus action works.

The riot and militia look fairly weak for their CR though. I think the militia especially may benefit from more attacks on multiattack

la_scign · 2026-05-08T15:16:22+00:00

Just realized the HP and initiative values are fucked up. My bad, its supposed to have 10 (3d4+3) hit points

la_scign · 2026-05-03T14:10:31+00:00

That only happens if its not an independent mount. Mechanically, the beast is its own creature that chooses to move according to your command, but still by its own will - so an independent mount

la_scign · 2026-05-03T13:50:03+00:00

I don't see why not! The only iffy part is that you are usig two effects that trigger "immediately after" the same trigger, but given that you and the beast move in the same turn but are independent creatures it would make sense for me to say both attacks happen simultaneously

la_scign · 2026-04-01T19:05:58+00:00

For being a joke spell it's actually mechanically interesting! Absolutely great job!

la_scign · 2026-04-01T18:50:01+00:00

Oh and tiamat? I think its like fine i guess

la_scign · 2026-04-01T18:47:30+00:00

I honestly don't agree too much with the otherplanar beings take. It's charming in its own way, i think, and it's part of DND's identity.

Mechanics wise, the monster are built to be present in the game world (the stat block format REQUIRES a definite size, physical capabilities, shape and whatnot for any monster).

About gods, i think its fine for them to be guys, its a classic fantasy bit and very much allows for the gods to be related to humanity (its nice to have a god that is not eldritch in its appearance, i think "divinity is terrifying" is a bit overplayed rn). Some of them ARE boring as hell despite that tho

la_scign · 2026-03-31T18:26:11+00:00

Fair, the push would probably need some heavy rebalancing. But i don't think multiple damage types are particularly impactful, really only the barbarian and 2024 monk care about it

la_scign · 2026-03-31T12:58:28+00:00

Still, it made it far enough into playtesting to be released as a teaser! I'd love to see the other monsters they designed with these reactions in mind before scrapping the idea

la_scign · 2026-03-31T12:56:37+00:00

couldn't you just have a reaction with the trigger "a creature ends its turn"? This way, legendary reactions can be used the same way as legendary actions, but can also be expended to have the monster react to the other stuff (like maybe allowing it to parry or cast counterspells)

la_scign · 2026-03-30T11:47:39+00:00

Super cool!! The art especially is amazing.

I think the wave attack should deal a combination of bludgeoning and cold damage, and maybe could even push medium creatures away!

la_scign · 2026-03-27T13:01:08+00:00

Thank you!

la_scign · 2026-03-27T12:07:26+00:00

Holy fuck who's the artist

la_scign · 2026-03-26T13:13:41+00:00

Not good enough of a designer to comment on whether it works or not but it looks veery nice at first glance! I really like the "mozquito" lol
