Discord battle requested of Bandits vs Ogres with a CR draft of 4. After reviewing the monster CRs (as is my process) there are some changes to each: Bandits CR 1/8 ► 1/4, Captain is CR 3 if you use full multiattack, Ogre CR 2 ► 1 which is fixed with stronger weapons. After applying these CR changes, we have 8 CR 1/4 Bandits (CR 2), one Bandit Captain CR 2 (no full melee multiattack), and 2 CR 2 Ogres. Big brutes vs lots of crossbow bolts and scimitars. With the winner found, lets look at the data the dice gave us. If you haven't seen the video, you must watch it first before listening to this spoiler filled episode. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! This was a long battle that came down to blow to blow to find the champs of this battle.

I pit 4 CR 1/2 Orcs up against 16 CR 1/8 Kobolds to see how a CR 2 draft styled monster vs monster battle would turn out! If you haven't seen the video, you must watch it first before listening to this spoiler filled episode. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Needless to say, it was quick and interesting to see how the mechanics of it all worked out. On top of that, the viewers and I worked out an 8-bit Brew for a new, basic Orc as well!

In this episode of 8-bit Monsters, I expose the CR for The Hungry. Not only is The Hungry hungry for your attention but also and time a caster heals in just about any form. Listen along as I discuss the basic information about this monster and how it's stats, defenses, and offenses can affect the Challenge Rating. Then finally how to use this monster in combat and other suggestions on what to use and not to use.

New Episodes every 1st, 8th, 15th, and 22nd of the month!

The idea of this podcast is to break monsters down into their bare components: DCR & OCR. These two values will allow us to see how strong they are and to see where D&D got the CR values from. I'm doing this because all too often, players skip right to level 3 to avoid the hell levels and possibly end up dead. Generally, each monster is a balancing act that isn't equal to the final value.

In this episode of 8-bit Monsters, Monster Deconstruction for D&D 5e, I deconstruct the Chain Devil. This is a front line fiend that loves to use chains w/ reach (basically whips) to torcher and disrupt the players plans. Making sure this fiend is in a room with extra chains is critical as well. Listen along as I discuss the basic information about this monster and how it's stats, defenses, and offenses can affect the Challenge Rating. Then finally how to use this monster in combat and other suggestions on what to use and not to use.
