OK, here we go, #Giantlands Book Three: "5th Age Index"

Part One (Spirits Guide) here:


Part Two (Keepers Guide) here:

If you're trying to channel a Volo-like narrator, it's not working.

I'm really hoping there's a pronunciation guide here... Almost every monster is named like this.

So, first off, in this book this is the only place its actually called Armor Class, and it is specifically defined as their ability to resist damage. So it's not DEX-based like traditional D&D; it's actual armor.

As far as line art goes, it's not bad.

"Not being of flesh, are immune to melee attacks" defies logic... This is the first monster, so this is going to be a rocky ride.

None of the monsters have a whole lot of lore, which makes using them rather difficult. I suppose you can fit them in however you want.

And "big honkin' paragraph" is a terrible style to present this.

Almost every monster so far has "kill anything that moves" as their attitude.

So they stat up a god... Which, if you recall the rules posts I did, always hits anything it attacks ("To Hit" 100%) and absorbs all damage ("Armor" 100%).

Honestly, you don't need to make a stat block out of everything... especially a god (looking at you, Deities & Demigods).

The goodest boi!

Come on guys, did you really have to give the alien abomination boobs?

OK, this is actually kind of amusing.

OK, that's pretty much it. Not much to the 5th Age Index, mostly art and monsters whose names I can't pronounce.

Thank you all for following along!
