That is how I have done most of my big cats (see the OP for links); however, this was a remake of the Spotted Lion in Bigby's. The only action for the version was the "Rend" and the idea of a simple statblock intrigued me. Then I couldn't help myself and I made it complex! Almost added it at...

OK, after a many month absence I have started to loosen the grips of my grief by getting back into D&D things. I am hoping by doing things I love, like making monsters, I can heal even more. Here is my first foray back into this space: the Spotted Lion. I thought I would up my game a bit for...

First, I apologize but I did not have time to read past this first paragraph (meeting starting in 5 minutes). Your thesis may or may not be accurate; however, one great thing I found in 5e early on (like about 8-9 years ago) was that you don't need to worry about encounter balance in 5e. Just...

There is one or two 4e adventure that travel to the elemental planes. In the Scales of War the PCs travel to the City of Brass in the elemental chaos/

I am not explaining myself clearly and it is not important enough for me to try anymore. I know what I mean and want. I don't expect others to understand or have the same desires. I would rather get back to doing product D&D work. Thank you for the discussion, I am done with this thread (really...

I agree - one I have been pushed, pulled, and dragged down by the posters in this thread! This is not a discussion I ever wanted or intended to have.

No worries - and it be honest it is general vibe from several people responding to me posts. Nothing specific from any one person Ok, but I never said it disturbs me did I? I have no issue with there being a difference. In fact, I would prefer game jargon that defines the nature of those...

I am not talking about the context of his world. I am talking about the contect of the viewer / reader/ player's world. I feel I have made that clear in post after post. Well color me impressed - it doesn't matter to me. This distinction was never what I wanted to discuss. I am able to see...

Because people don't seem to like the word "magic." It is no real difference to me. The broad idea of "fantasy" is not game jargon and I am more interested in game jargon. I am even more interested in what I originally posted about: I would like there to be line in the game, after which...
