And this is assuming that it even is a monster from a D&D book. It could be something from another RPG entirely that either somehow survived the destruction of its world and ended up on this one. After all, I think Rich just said it wasn't something he made up, not that it was a D&D monster.

I like the render because it hits at least three clues (it wasn't in its normal habitat, goblins love it, and it makes strong connections with people), and you can explain the rest of the abilities as 'a wizard did it'. But i don't know much will turn on it, we'll probably just find out and it will be like "oh, ok it's one of those"

All the text just leans in so hard but The "bond with Intelligent creature" set off a alarm bell He's wanted to reconnect with Ochul like crazy and has protected him in the past.

Satisfaction Guaranteed posted:All the text just leans in so hard but The "bond with Intelligent creature" set off a alarm bell it also... idk, there's a flavour to rich's thinking, and this fits it more for me than all the BABY GODSPAWN stuff. maybe it's just a big, slightly weird, scary monster. what matters is unlikely to be what species it is, what will matter is what it has become as a character. that said I don't think i've predicted a single oots plot twist accurately so you would be ill-advised to bet on my predictions lol

The big "mechanical" thing that needs to pay off (to me) is the MitD seeming to have some sort of Wish ability where he really wanted Mr Stiffy and his friend to be safe from eating a point blank Meteor Swarm, and I'm not sure how a Grey Render would fulfill that. Also, a grey render is pretty low on the totem pole of the monster power. At CR 8, it's sort of monster that might have gotten one or two pages as a gag in the first hundred pages, not the sort you build up a decade+ reveal on.

d20 SRD says the following (bolding mine):quote:A unique quality of the gray render is its tendency to bond with, protect, and provide for another creature (or group of creatures) native to its surroundings. Whether accepted or not, the render always attempts to remain fairly close, watching over its adopted charge(s) and daily bringing an offering of meat.

MitD is a good man, and that's all that matters.

Int 3 for a creature that's shown clearly human intelligence on its own is a pretty massive stretch, to say nothing about the fact that it has no spellcasting capabilities at all. Might as well say it's a super-intelligent bear at that point; that'd at least have the right number of eyes.

Toplowtech posted:Can you awaken non-animal? Is awaken in 3.5 and how broken is it? You can awaken a normal plant or tree. It exists in 3.5e as well, and other than bestowing variable mental stats and turning the animal into a magical beast, it's not significantly different from what 5e does.

I just finished re-reading book 6, and in the afterword — written in November 2019 — Burlew says he wouldn’t be surprised if it takes another five years to finish the story. I have real doubts we’re a quarter of the way through, and I’ll eat a hat if it’s a third.
