Re: MitD XIII: Learning is happening
Uh too early to vote bc no one has seconded a vote yet (I think).
If the lotseys ever rise up or something I will unlurk and make some impassioned speech about how violence is never the answer but that I know I cannot stop what the people truly want, I just want no part in it (as thinking about the long term consequences make me queasy).
If I were to ever make an alternate FBS list, and I wanted any sort of public approval, or at least acknowledgement, I would put at least one con for my pet favorite creature, just saying. Also I appreciate the list of appropriate sources there, that is a great resource for the thread that I think everyone should thank you for.
Also I think it's funny that a thread about a monster shrouded in darkness has so many people lurking in it who voted at the last second.

Re: MitD XIII: Learning is happening
I tend to second Kish's second suggestion, but I don't know if it would currently change anything. Is there a creature which has been excluded from the FBS solely because of this?
For the first suggestion, I don't know enough about CR to know whether 18 or 15 or 22 would be a good lower limit. And what about creatures which do not have a D&D CR?
I'd like to suggest that 'huge' size is no longer listed as a con for the FBS creatures. Also, the protean entry should mention (as a con?) that proteans can speak all languages. I don't know whether we need a vote for this.

This has been suggested before, and IIRC, at the time I was told that CR, especially in 3rd parties, tends to be so broken that it is not a realiable indicator of power level.

The spell Xykon used to hypnotize the creature in the darkness already has to be one, since there is no published spell that would have a "like Suggestion, but with a duration in years or longer" effect, and spells that are "mind-affecting, except they also affect undead/affect golems/affect X creature immune to mind-affecting effects" are common; it would be an unusually harsh DM who would declare a spell that was "like Suggestion, but with a duration of [caster level] years and also works on X creature immune to mind-affecting effects" higher than ninth level. However, a spell that could Suggest a god would be high epic.
My problem with this is that this is a very specialised spell that, if Xkon has spent resources developing and taking up one of his precious spell known slots, you'd think would see more use, but Xykon isn't surrounded by more mind-controlled creatures than he is.

Every scene that showcases the creature's power suggests he's massively powerful in some way.

I support the vote for the Challenge Rating change; in my few searches, I tend to ignore anything below 15. Not sure about the mind-affecting thing. If it's home brewed and powerful enough, it can work as is, I think.

2nd edit: What was the purpose of the "mind-controlling scene" then? I mean, if there are no spells in D&D that could work like that, what was the point of using it on MitD? I know Xykon is not the most knowledgeable/savvy guy, it's quite possible he used a new thing he learned to do without knowing that if the betrayal didn't happen in the next fortnight, it would fizzle. I have a feeling that everything "Start of Darkness" has some importance, but I have a hard time justifying the mind-control. Maybe it was simply to show us that Xykon suspects Redcloak might/will betray him? Maybe it was to telegraph that MitD is not a deity of any kind? Maybe it was to show how dumb Xykon is, really? That scene is the more perplexing to me, to be honest.

I agree, but I would prefer CR 15 "To be safe." OOTS ultimately appears to be a level 12-17ish campaign, and the party seems to be eternally around level 15.

I agree with the homebrew. Xykon's Moderately Escapable Forcecage is also a thing. The idea of "Xykon's contingent suggestion/command undead" isn't that far-fetched.
I am in agreement that non-divine mind-effect immunity is not an automatic dealbreaker.

This is true, but they also speak and understand all languages as per the Epic Level Handbook.

Re: MitD XIII: Learning is happening
But if they normally speak a language that no one can understand, it would be surprising that one would speak in Common. So that would actually be a point in favor of the Protean.

Redcloak, maybe, but Xykon took pains to set up a "will you act to defend me without your mind being influenced by magic?" test for him. And no one else I can think of.

By RAW/RAI, is there a functional difference between mind control and a spell with the Mind-Affecting and Compulsion tags?

Re: MitD XIII: Learning is happening
Let me rephrase: The spell Xykon demonstrated in Start of Darkness does not make it a plot hole that Xykon is not surrounded by people with swirly eyes who do nothing but whatever he tells them to do.
If every hobgoblin in Gobbotopia has the same "if Redcloak betrays Xykon eat him and spit out his holy symbol" trigger the creature in the darkness does, how would anyone but Rich even know?

No. The options related to Size in the previous vote were B: "Remove Upper Size Limit" and C: "Add minimum Size Limit: Large".
C is clearly distinct from Joerg's proposal.
If you were thinking of B, then the effect of B would be that creatures of any size can be included in FBS. Joerg's proposal wouldn't allow any new creatures to enter FBS (Huge is already within the acceptable size range), it would just stop "Huge" from being listed as a con in each creature's write-up.
I agree with the proposal, since MitD does say that his father was "BIG" in capitals, suggesting there may be a size category difference between them -- while I would (and did) disagree with B, since I don't think that opens the door to MitD's species being any size.

Otherwise, I'm not sure we have enough evidence to assume he has a epic spell to mind control non-mind-controllable creatures he happened to develop at great personal cost before he needed it and has had the chance to use exactly once.
As to another vote, I'm going to be honest: I'm completely opposed because it is exhausting to run one of those things, and I just had to do two in a row.

I'm certain there will be a payoff, involving the command being triggered.
I am equally certain that it did take effect (in light of the creature's reaction, swirly eyes and otherwise).
I am less certain that that scene was aimed at the benefit of us in this thread (I'm guessing here that this is the implication of there being no payoff if it was a spell that could mind control a creature that couldn't normally be mind-controlled, since as far as the story goes I'm not seeing the difference between "Xykon casts his homebrewed Years-Long Works-On-Golems Suggestion and the zodar MitD is Suggested" and "Xykon casts his homebrewed Years-Long Suggestion and the slaad MitD is Suggested").
About the second vote so soon...sorry. If I could go back in time and suggest adding those two options to the previous vote a day in, I absolutely would.

Grey Wolf
In fairness, I'm almost certain that what Xykon used was a custom epic spell, simply because of the duration. Any creature powerful enough to be MitD is going to have a will save so high that a standard suggestion spell would almost certainly fail. So unless we assume Xykon is burning 20 spell slots every day or so forcing a nat 1 on MitD, we can assume that whatever he's using is of permanent (or at least arbitrarily long) duration. Then we need only assume a single natural 1 on MitD's side, and no additional resources spent on Xykon's side. This implies an epic spell.
It doesn't, however, necessarily imply that the spell in question works on things immune to mind control.

But the entry currently reads as if they could only speak their own language, which is misleading. I guess the 'normally' was meant as "they can, but choose not to speak common" but I interpreted it as "they can't if they are a normal protean".

I totally understand. I was hoping my suggestions would need no vote (since they don't change the FBS criteria) or one could just integrate them into another vote (about Kish's suggestions). But I don't need a vote for them now and can table them until another vote is on the way (if they need a vote).

Re: MitD XIII: Learning is happening
Out of curiosity, are there terribly many contenders known to reproduce non-biologically (e.g. magically or psionically or something else I understand exactly as little of)?
What I'm trying to suggest is some kind of construct or outsider (etc) whose progenitor could have accidentally created it extra-small, sidestepping the STR-based size reduction test by saying that its strength doesn't come from its body, per se.
A creature like that would also have to answer the questions of how it can be mind-controlled and why it eats food, but depending on the creature those answers could be as simple as "because it's not passively mindblanked, and because it likes eating".

I would contend that 3Powers and myself provided that for the challenge rating part. Albeit with a modification that CR15 would be a reasonable lower limit. However, I side with Grey Wolf that a vote right now isn't a good idea. The last 15 pages of the previous thread were kinda hellish, with a complicated vote, followed immediately by the new thread title vote and posting the new thread. He deserves a break.

Alternative: The monster is not statted in the D&D version OotS uses and thus doesn't even HAVE a will save to defend against Xykon's spell (like the creatures in the dungeon of Dorukan).
Would that help in Xykon not needing a super special Epic spell he never used again?

Re: MitD XIII: Learning is happening
I say we impose a temporary vote moratorium of a couple weeks or something. Seriously, didn’t we just do an FBS criteria vote this week?
Lets just discuss for a bit. If memory serves, thats how past votes have typically come about. Someone says “Hey, what do people think about X?” Then a discussion happens around it and if people generally gravitate to a particular point of view (which might not be the original proposal) then everyone kinda says “hey, this is a good idea, we should do this” and we have a vote.
Voting should be the end of the process, not the beginning in a “Lets see if people like X” kind of way. This last time, we didn’t necessarily come to a consensus before voting but we had like 30 pages of discussion to establish battle-lines so that was good enough.

Ooh, me me! No really, give me a moment to find my notes...
I'm not kidding, I have a proposal for a candidate.
ETA: Found it.
Mythological Tarasque
I'd actually like to add the Tarasque to the list of proposals. The mythological Tarasque, which is extremely different in comparison to the version found in D&D.
I wrote this on the last thread towards the end, but because of the name vote it kind of got swept under the carpet so to speak.
I do not think it would be an FBS due to a lack of ability to teleport among a few other issues, but it has many other viable aspects.
The Tarasque is a beast from French mythology. I even have 13 reason why it could be a Tarasque. I actually have more reasons, but I stopped because it felt appropriate.
Spoiler: Pros of the Tarasque
Show
- The Tarasque is found in a marsh and is from the highlands, meaning that finding it in a jungle is quite bizarre.
- The Tarasque generally does not speak, meaning that seeing it speak in Common is surprising.
- The Tarasque looks weird as heck. It has a turtle like shell covered with spikes, an assortment of legs, and a vaguely humanoid to completely monstrous face depending on the depiction. The most normal thing about it is that it has two typically yellow eyes.
- Six legs and a tail means weird tracks.
- Some depictions show it being able to walk on its hind legs, but even if it couldn't it could plausibly use either its tail (long enough for grabbing short ranged things, but not too long to invalidate the lack of limbs shown in certain scenes) or walk with four legs and grab with the other two.
- The Tarasque does not have any D&D stats giving it some leeway, but it is incredibly strong, capable of sinking boats and devouring people. If it can easily sink a boat, I would imagine that it should have fairly little trouble punching someone through a wall.
- Furthermore, it was capable of withstanding assaults from knights and catapults, suggesting it is strong enough to take negligible damage from Miko's assault.
- Lack of preset D&D levels means it cannot help out with reanimating without leveling up.
- It does not seem to be immune to mind altering effects as it was calmed and charmed by Saint Martha.
- The Tarasque is very big, but not overwhelmingly so and a young one would fit just fine in a box.
- Speaking of which, if they are devouring anyone who crosses a marsh then they would be eating a lot which fits in with the "MitD's dad ate a LOT" bit.
- Is from a text that predates Rich Burlew. And D&D. It's plenty old enough.
- Is not the embodiment of anything.
Spoiler: Cons of the Tarasque
Show
- Since the Tarrasque exists as a D&D monster (albeit a very different one), it might seem like cheating for the Giant to use it.
- No way to explain the Escape scene that I am aware of.
Anyone willing to second this as a proposal? Not FBS or anything, just a run of the mill proposal.

Funny. If we had a vote about what we should do now I'd vote for this option (the no more vote).
Seriously, we just had a vote where we decided on exactly 0 changes. Give it a rest people. If you come up with a great idea, people will voice their opinions on it and if the consensus is in your favor, that's when you CONSIDER calling a vote.
I'm down for a lot of the smaller changes (alignment embodiment rec, some of the text in pros/cons being altered/added), but since they are so small there is little to no urgency.
I would really like to see someone make a good argument for why an embodiment of evil could be MitD, because then my pet pick the Glabrezu becomes more viable. The current evidence is pretty nonexistent (a possible LG deva messed with some slaads, roy's archon (LG) did a single chaotic thing once, that's it), but it seems like it could be an interesting debate.

Not on hand, though the wikipedia page does have a couple images. I'm aware that wikipedia isn't exactly a reliable source, but I was looking for imagery not information. The images basically show it as being roughly like a ankylosaurid creature with six legs and a lion's head, though I have seen a picture that shows it with a more human head. Either way, its in line with what I read as a child.
If you need a specific link, I found this which appears to be a contemporary depiction.
