Hmm. This bestiary reference I'm using seems to have listed the Stench Kow's stink aura DC as being 26. I'm not sure how that happened.

That's definitely not the kind of DC you'd expect to see on a CR 1/4 beastie...

I think I found your source, and all of that data appears to have been entered by hand.

[xkcd /]

Realizing that DnD has fairly accurate, small velociraptors and remembering that XKCD makes me suddenly really want to run a campaign about dinosaurs. Dammit brain, I already have too many roleplaying concepts to choose between!

It better feature dino riding. Throw out the rules from whichever supplement adds dino races. Create your own, including people riding velociraptors around like minibikes.

Dinosaurs seem to be a part of the regular monster manual in 5e, actually. Some of them in the "generic wildlife and such" section.

EDIT: Okay, looking at the book I was wrong about them being generic wildlife, but there are six dinosaurs in the manual. All big ones, so not velociraptors. Allosaurus, Ankylosaurus, Plesiosaurus, Pteranodon, Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus.

Volo's Guide to Monster includes about 6 more, including the Stegosaurus, Deinonycus, and Velociraptors.

One of the 5e official campaigns has dino racing, don't know if it has dino riding though.

It's funny, speaking of velociducktors: Ankylosaurus basically means "duckylosaurus" in Swedish

That would certainly explain how the Hulking Crab's multiattack lets it use its tentacle attack three times as an aboleth, and how when it's hiding in its shell you need to pass an intelligence (Nature) check in order to discren^[sic] its true nature.

You haven't dumped your discren skill right? Discrening is one of the most important abilities of an adventurer.

Yup, that's Tomb of Annihilation, though it's gambling rather than your character as jockeys. Our DM promised that if we finish the quest successfully, he'll homebrew rules so that we can race ourselves. He did. I could ask him for them, if you're interested?

It is! It can even give you a situational bonus to your intit- your invititive... initiv- the intert-... Fuck it.


Curses, what is this confounded appeal of grapplers? I need to play a proper character instead of immediately hop on the hipster options.

that would be a gripster thank you

I was more responding to one of the other guys who was asking about that. I imagine it involves Animal Handling though.

Honestly, that sounds like a pretty cool monster: A huge crab that can disguise itself as a rock or whatever when it goes in it's shell and also has tentacles for some reason.

Actually, when I first read that, I misread it as you needing to do a check to notice it's tentacles, which gave me the idea for a creature, possiby humanoid, that has hidden tentacles, and I'm thinking you need to make a check to notice them, otherwise it gets advantage or something, but making the check puts you at risk for going temporarily insane.

You can immobilize two creatures, knock them over so that they get disadvantage to hit in melee and allies get advantage to hit them. If something is both grappled and prone, they can't stand up from prone because being grappled makes their movement 0. You can drag people to cliffs and throw them off.

Every game needs dino racing, so I'd certainly be interested.

Just so you know... Theoretically, chicken racing satisfies that requirement.
