Roll Gamers and Play Masters! 🤣. I LOVE it! Monster Vault 2 is going to be great and I can’t wait to have it in my hands. I am super excited for the Field Guide!
The Adamantine Dragon’s Unstoppable Breath is similar to the effects of the dragons in MV1. I guess the Dragon is magically collecting or transforming Adamantine for its Needle Breath. Once ready, and until it uses it, it can harness that Adamantine for the ability to ignore opponents armor.
For the Unstoppable Blows ability, I could see bits of adamantine grow and spread over its claws, fangs, tail, making them sharper, heavier strikes that bypass any armour worn by its foes. And when it does decide to use its breath weapon, this accumulated metal is reabsorbed into its body and expelled in said breath weapon cone. That is one way you could explain it. Whenever I read something like that, I try to visualize what the ability does. I’m sure it would worry the player characters a lot, especially the ones wearing heavy armour.
Im backin' this! Mainly cause I want Kobold Press to succeed where WotC is failing... I mean, how difficult was it for WotC to provide this stuff for 5E previously? Apparently pretty freakin' hard! Since they never did during this edition... ...in fact, correct me if im wrong, but the last time they provided the mechanical tools to make things yourself was...when they first got D&D with 3e! If only we could crack the code of whats the difference between modern WotC and literally every other company making their own thing? MCG, Paizo, Green Ronin, Kobold Press... what could it be??? . .. ... Its game designers... Every single former designer from WotC's 3.x days either founded one of those other companies, or joined it, rather then stay at WotC... ...that's why we're getting 5E as designed by a Manager (Crawford) who can barely do Maths! Anyway... Sorry for ranting, Mr T! You're videos are great as always!
Yeah, I was thinking this was dangerous to try. Do we want to put out another Monster book BEFORE the 2025 Monster Manual is out? That's Crazy! But they did it and it funded. I am honestly worried about all the Kickstarter/BackerKit companies with all this Tariff Talk. So I am supporting as well as I can. And yes - The Harvesting is needed because we need to counter that WAY TOO EASY magic item construction rule that's in the 2024 DMG.
The Monster Harvesting seems very similar to Heliana's Guide to Monster Hunting.
I love how TOTV has fixed so many of the issues I had with 5e.

Love this
And don’t forget that the Unstoppable Blows ability isn’t available until the DM rolls a 5 or 6, when it’s BW is available again.
TOTV just seems better and better every day. and with the pocket editions now so much cheaper to get into.
Hope they will do a pocket version of all of the releases.. I really liked the pocket version.

Have you seen the total party kill bestiary volumes 1 & 2 ?
I know about them but I don’t review or touch anything 2c gaming ever again.
@@MrTarrasque okay

I won't be getting the monster Manuel 5.25 so I like getting another monster book.
I have 2200+ creatures from kobold press, I'll take another 300 ❤.
