The Abyss is a horrendous place, even for the demons that live within it. Bebiliths are not proper demons, existing outside the way those fiends naturally form. Instead, they are more akin to a wild beast of the Abyssal layers, a monster that evolved separately but alongside the demons. And while they do not need to eat, they still enjoy hunting and devouring prey, most of that prey being whatever fiends they find. While bebilith have an ability that many demons would kill for, the ability to transport themselves around the planes at will, many never see any need to leave the Abyss, remaining to hunt and kill whatever demons they can get their claws upon. Some bebiliths encounter outsiders within the Abyss however, mortals, celestials, or even other fiends who have travelled to the Abyss, and killing such a creature may open their mind to hunting new prey. As such, they are sometimes found exploring the planes, searching for new and exciting prey to hunt and kill. They always remember their favorites however, and most bebiliths given the opportunity will hunt a demon over other targets.

Challenge 10 (5900 XP) Penetrating Strike. The bebilith's attacks overcome all damage resistances and immunities of fiends. Web Walker. The bebilith ignores movement restrictions caused by webbing. Actions Multiattack. The bebilith makes three attacks: one with its Bite and two with its Claws. If both Claws attacks hit the same target, the bebilith uses Rend Armor on the target as a bonus action. The target has disadvantage on this saving throw. Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (2d6+7) piercing damage and the target must succeed on a DC 18 Constitution saving throw or be cursed with a fiendish rot for one minute. A cursed target must repeat the save at the start of each of its turns. On a failure, the target's hit point maximum is reduced by 10 (3d6). If the target makes two saving throws in a row, the effect ends early. Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d4+7) slashing damage. Web (Recharge 5-6). Ranged Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, range 30/60 ft., all creatures in a 10 ft. cube. Hit: The target is restrained by webbing.

The webbing can be attacked and destroyed (AC 12; hp 25; vulnerability to slashing damage; immunity to bludgeoning, poison, and psychic damage). Plane Shift. The bebilith casts plane shift, targeting only itself, requiring no material components. Rend Armor. The bebilith tears at the armor of a creature it can see within 10 feet of it. The target must make a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, any nonmagical armor worn by the target takes a permanent and cumulative -1 penalty to the AC it offers. The armor is destroyed if the penalty reduces its AC to 10.

Cerebriliths are psionic demons who seek to kill, and then consume the brains of, moral creatures. They also use their powers of mental domination to control communities of mortals to serve them, or simply to manipulate them according to the whims of their Abyssal masters. When not serving other demons, they are found in groups of up to four. They stand around 8 feet tall.

I know there are people who didn't quite like the 3rd campaign but for me it was so special 😭 this was the first time I got to watch a whole CR campaign live and I loved the whole experience. I don't know why, but I got teary eyed reading the dnd community congratulating CR on 10 years and the 3rd campaign.

I'm so glad I got to be a very very very small tiny lil part of making these dnd nerds grow their company 🙌 here's too many years more! I can't wait to see what they have in store for us next 🙏❤️‍🔥 can't wait to support my fellow nerds!!

Hugs to everyone! Don't forget to love each other!

Liam O'brien everytime he has to make a dnd character: *points* This is for you, gays!

[milquetoad]

crown of stars. he cast crown of stars im fucking absisnsk

[divinesouldariax]

the thing about The Characters is that everything other people get out of them is fine and cool, and the most important thing about any story is that people are having fun with it. HOWEVER my interpretation of The Characters and their relationships and themes is always correct.

hate it when i accidentally woobify my villains

Anime NYC (New Tidbits from the cast)

Unsure if there was any questions that warranted new info we haven't heard before. Thanks to TempleofGeek for sharing what they could.

But for Ashley, Fearne is like coming home again because she got to play her all the way through this campaign. Newer tidbit: Fearne wears a mask (in a way) to conceal her feelings, not just in terms of romance. But she hides real feelings when things are bad, scary ect.

Grog will always Travis' favorite, but he does love playing a werewolf.

Taliesin is surprised people relate and share about their chronic pain in relation to Ashton and himself.

Laura was asked about how Toru Honda would fair in the DND world. Couldn't find her answer, but OP thinks it would be similar to Jester, but shyer.

Sam's mom said he always wanted to be a minotaur growing up. LOL

Marisha was excited people got to see Keyleth pass through fire and there will be lots of events/live shows throughout the year for CR's 10 anniversary.

Matt builds an NPC (even the minor NPCs) by thinking about their goals. He says certain episodes might feel very Avenger's Endgame

So many of the different celestials are found in the A section of fantasy bestiaries. Archon, azata, angel, agathion... apparently A is the most holy letter. Today we bring back the archons, the order focused celestials that believe community focused lawful society is the way to ensure the most good is done. Shield archons are the bulwark of their armies, heavily armored towers that fill up the front line. While they can quite easily crush lesser fiends and monsters with their radiant spears, they are also very good at holding off greater threats for a long time to allow their more fragile allies to take position or finish their own plans. Even the greatest of fiends will have to spend some time to crush a shield archon, and every second they're distracted trying to break through its shield is a second it's not killing a weaker target.

Shield archons look near identical with their armor and massive shield, each specific legion distinguished only by its emblem. They stand nine feet tall, but weigh nearly 800 pounds without their armor. While under their armor they may have more unique features and appearances, those souls who become shield archons are rarely interested in expressing themselves as an individual. Their deepest goal is the defense of others, and they place the tools to do so above themselves. Even their body is purposed for battle, their hands transforming into their weapon and shield. These pieces of equipment are truly part of the archon, unable to be separated from its body except by brutal dismemberment, and don't remain long past the archon's death.

Behold… a project that began back in October 5th 2022…

C3 Swap AU

•

•

•

I am nothing if not predictable

What is the swap AU?

The swap AU was created due to my love of that genre (If you followed me in my Persona phase, you know what I mean)

It was a way for me to practice my craft as time goes on and to this day, I’m still learning. It’s also an excuse for me to draw pretty outfits

It was also inspired by Eren Angiolini’s CR swapped classes (mainly VM and MN back then) before their own rendition of Bell’s Hells, done in 2023

The difference between my version and Eren’s is that instead of swapping DnD classes (Fighter -> Paladin) , we changed their subclasses (Fighter : Battle master -> Fighter : Eldritch knight). Some of these were taken from completely made up thanks to a homebrew list of subclasses

The entire creation of this AU is a group effort from various members of the Dorym Nation discord server. We did not plan for it to work as well as it did as episode rolled by. We did it mostly on vibes and somehow made everyone’s backstory sadder (oops)

Why making this post now?

With campaign 3 coming close to an end, I felt like it was finally time for me to face my fears and show the people what 2 years of creation do to someone, without any remorse for showing enjoyment in a piece of media.

I also struggle with showcasing my work in the last couple of years to a wider audience, especially with the rise in A/I art and N/F/T that just destroyed me mentally. This is why you don’t see much art posting from me

Also every time I thought I had a breather with art, shit just kept happening in the canon game and it really just spiralled to what we have today… Mind you this was created around episode e20 so we didn’t know everything about the characters back then… We were so close but had to change some stuff and add something else… I love the creative process <3

What did you mean by “you made everyone’s backstory sadder?”

When you go into a project made on vibes, you kiiiiind of mix-match a couple of ideas together. With the Swap AU, not only did we swap their subclasses, but we also swapped elements of their backstories with another member of their group. You will see it with everyone’s post.

Wait so you’re not sharing the art yet? Why not?

My goal with this post is to give you guys a small introduction to the AU. I know this will be at the very least 10 post in total minus this one since I’m hoping to give each Hellions their very own Tumblr posts

I am also a perfectionist and I want to give the best quality possible when posting the artworks. I am in the making of creating front facing reference sheets of each member of BH with max 6 different clothes ( EXU or start of the campaign, ball, outfit 2, current one, and for those with specific body transformations get that illustrated also)

There is already existing art of the AU that was created by @czpeterp that you can see here! (Their art is amazing, go check them out!!)

I have Fearne and Chetney’s that are complete, and Imogen is the next one in line. Expect for a post about them coming really soon (hopefully tomorrow)

That’s all for now! Sorry for all the rambling lmao, I do hope I piqued your curiosity and I’ll see you (hopefully) tomorrow morning for our first Swapped character: Fearne Calloway!

Commanders of New Capenna

Another weekend, another brand-new release from me. This time it’s back to the schedule as normal, with the results of last month’s Monster Popularity Contest (a monthly patreon poll where supporters vote to see their favorite monsters, NPCs, and other enemies come to life.) These five friendly mugs are the face commanders from the commander decks released alongside Streets of New Cappena. Each one serves a different family, and plays a different role in the glamorous politics of this 30′s-themed fantasy setting.

If you’d like early access to more content like this, the ability to vote in polls like the one mentioned above, and other patron-exclusive releases like monthly subclasses and more, you can sign up to support me for as little as $2/month!

[criticalbeauregard]

i also want to add w the dm dichotomy thing, the table dichotomy is very important to see because it can be intimidating having cr as your first or only reference for dnd players and holding yourself and your fellow players against people who have been playing together for 10+ years. and while the cast emphasizes not to do this often it can still be hard to accept that you’re not going to get that level of bond/understanding between a group of people overnight. having the crownkeepers + aabria show front and center how having miscommunications, mistakes and just the general blunders of learning dnd and/or adjusting to new peoples’ play styles is normal and doesn’t have to be scary is really awesome to me! these moments for correction/clarification aren’t made to be embarrassing and only make the story better and more fun and safe for everyone.

The spawn of Juiblex are disgusting slime creatures who serve the Faceless Lord in a variety of capacities. Sometimes they are gifted as companions and soldiers to his most faithful thralls, other times they are sent as assassins, or simply lurk forgotten in particularly-tainted ruins. Wherever they go, they leave a path of destruction, as they consume and corrupt everything in their path, growing and bloating until they split into new spawns, or grow greater and more powerful. Lesser spawn of Juiblex are around 10 feet in diameter and weigh one-and-a-half tons. Greater spawn are around 20 feet in diameter and weigh ten tons. Elder spawn are around 40 feet in diameter and weigh almost sixty tons.
