Had a friend who decided on barbarian before rolling for stats. but he got 16-18 on all his rolls, and because he went with gnome for the meme he had 18 INT as a barbarian. He would often read books without a shirt on.

I'm just having flashbacks to Clay in CR, who had 25ft of movement in the Astral Plane.

Tonke de Vries That's what I thought.

It's probably meant in a planar way thus it makes it a bit different.

DUDE. Judge me if you'd like but that is the sole reason I've landed on this video. I'm researching Astral Dragon's because I need a template to use should the party fuck with Shenlong. The way I run it (since a wish can be used to replicate the effects of a 9th level spell, however there are limitations) the "dragonballs" are scattered across my setting and are sought out by many different factions and powerful creatures. Should one gather all 7, an Astral Dragon shifts to your realm and offers you 1 "unrestricted wish " . An example would be "I wish everyone who was killed by BLANK be brought back to life In a new body " But unlike Shenlong in the show (who got murdered by Piccolo Daimyo) my shenlong ain't nothin to fuck with. And god forbid that 1% chance goes off and Shenlong goes berserk. No more dragonballs. And a lot of very angry creatures who want revenge on whoever summoned Shenlong last.

Touchdown past the tarrasque, yall must be toughies huh? Get the mage in your party to lichdom but don't sign in with a weaker dark god. Then you guys are fine

They WHAT

...but the astral dragon is not in 5e

@@defensivekobra3873 make homebrew stats.

@@joshblack3626 i mean the mage whould have a LOT of issues if they fail an save for feeblemind

I'm thinking the same thing. There are still plenty of enemies out there that Vox Machina would have to avoid.

Any planeswalker with half a brain would flee as fast and as far as their imagination could take them. Preferably with some magic that would temporarily raise their intelligence and wisdom as high as possible without too terrible permanent effects...

Just make a tribute, they love treasure, you should be fine

As shown in one of the recent eps...

mr welch could probably take on an astral dragon.

Maybe it's not that they can't shift, but that they loose some kind of connection to the astral plane. One of the side effects is that they go mad, and another that they can no longer shift there.

So the current weave does not actually allow tenth level spells for non-deities the fact that someone stole the god who created the weaves power, Mystra in order to aid his country, destroyed it. Then he died, she sacrificed herself tto create a new weave that would never allow for tenth level spells to exist. 'Tis a legend

@@pieman1001000 if you lived 10,000 years im sure you might discover a loophole. Also through great sacrifice and multiple 9th lvl casters 10th lvl magic may be obtained in the current weave of mystra

what's stopping a cult from undoing what Mystra did by walking in it's shoes? I guess that's part of storytelling, you can always create a way to throw a wrench in someone's plans.

To cast Plane Shift, one needs a very particular component: a forked rod attuned to the plane to which one intends to travel. Perhaps it is impossible to attune such a rod to the Astral Plane.

You missed a 1 before the 60.

@@battlepans1927 but if we are talking about it seriously with what the video told us since Nat20 always gives you a +5 then the astral dragons must have an average of 75 or do they???

Get some Gloryhammer goin' on in here.

Divided Reality fookn laser sights

Divided Reality Heldrake anyone?

That's actually a pretty good idea

My half elf warlock had an astral dragon patron ((great old one))

@@vikingkaeleb588 Goolocks are so fun to play as.

Wouldn't they only be able to grant abilities/blessings for those in the astral plane, though?

YOU MERELY ADOPTED THE ASTRAL PLANE. I WAS BORN IN IT, MOLDED BY IT.

I am so glad I found this comment.

They're big dragons. *F O R Y O U*

DO IT RHEXX! Enlighten us upon the HELL DRAGONS!!!

A few REALLY cool ones and some of the outright most powerful. They are about as bad as they sound. The pryoclastic dragon's breath is so hot and forceful that it creates a searing flash of light... of which the very shock wave can vaporize most anything like a nuclear blast, it's chest is basically a volcanic furnace.

So, little comment here. Throughout D&D, we have had Good (metallic), Evil (Chromatic), Neutral (Gem), and Lawful (Ferrous). Anyone know of Chaotic ones?

i believe fey dragons (and i think shadow dragons) are known for being chaotic

Yes, the nine hells has it's own brand of dragons. Cr 21 if I recall correctly for weakest variety. Can create fire at will without even breathing it. Hellfire. Teleport at will also, it's a bad sonofabitch. The abyss also has dragons. Insane, wild eyed, psycho dragons, filled with madness. Carceri has dragons also, very angry imprisoned dragons. Dragons that would be content to imprison you forever. You do not want any of those outer planar dragons. Chances are if you encounter one, it's because you're on that plane of existence, which means there's a 99% chance you're doomed in the greatest sense of the word. Even the river styx has a dragon, called styx dragons. They literally live in the river styx, a river that kills anything it touches, destroys any material it touches, it's hard to even find undead in the river styx, but those sick styx dragons?? They are in that bitch. One of the very few things that can be found in that river. You don't want it either, the river destroys your very mind, memories, and all. Even if you are an undead. The styx dragon?? It's mind is just fine, and it's going to end you if it finds you. Happily.

well not really, but if your pc has this as a goal, the chances are they will get killed by astral monsters. its far simpler to learn true polymorph to just become a dragon perminantly, (maybe an astral dragon) then live till your a wyrm and all your party has died of old age, then become a draco lich or something, i think its just safer that way. oh but you will become the final villan for a new campaign for sure

@@nyanbrox5418 hmm cool DnD PvP but storywise its PvE I think that would be a good idea for a campaign, Or just straight up throw your players in and make them pick any non-humanoid race for their PC when they choose monster faction in a custom PvP event

Any way of you being a dm for me? exclusively? I crave dnd and can't get it.

@@danielsousa8151 I'm a dinosaur, my friend. I intellectually still follow AD&D and love the brighter people who follow it like Chris Perkins of PAX and AJ Picket (The Mighty Gluestick) here on KZfaq. Those guys might be open to devoted cam-related playing. As for exclusively, that is not a gaming style most people do. It's like the role-playing version of reading a kid to sleep. It has its perks, but with one player that gets old for both DM and player really quick... and burns out the DM.

We need much more comments and people like this :)

But what if some dragons are all astral dragons who got stuck in the material plan?

Inevitables from the plane of Mechanus help mediate these conflicts.

Also minus the whole...you know, space elves murder fucking it into existence thing...

What about the Gith? They’re assholes lol
