Episode 29: Foam of Toes
/Matt and Rob share their first impressions of the sixth rule book in the Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition: Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes.
There will be war. There will be blood. There will be a Blood War. Your hosts talk about the upgrading the Tiefling with the new stuff in this book. The new Githzerai and Githyanki are full of flavor and story-telling potential; the other section of races and sub-races for Elves, Dwarves, and Halflings not so much. Reprints abound! Wizards then makes us sad by putting Tortles and Giff into the book but not giving them racial stats for players.
The monsters are great! We hit on our favorites (allips, chokers, and maruts). Rob and Matt chat about what lessons DMs can learn on how to modify monsters from the sections on Ogres, Drow, and Trolls.
