#D&d astral dreadnought how to#

An astral dreadnought's weapon attacks are magical. If the astral dreadnought fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead. Like a stomach, it contains the remains of the dreadnought's past meals. The demiplane resembles a stone cave roughly 1,000 feet in diameter with a ceiling 100 feet high. A creature can leave the demiplane only by using magic that enables planar travel, such as the plane shift spell. Any creature or object that the astral dreadnought swallows is transported to a demiplane that can be entered by no other means except a wish spell or this creature's Donjon Visit ability. The astral dreadnought can't leave the Astral Plane, nor can it be banished or otherwise transported out of the Astral Plane.Дemiplanar Donjon. The cone doesn't function while the dreadnought's eye is closed or while the dreadnought is blinded.ДЄstral Entity. At the start of each of its turns, the dreadnought decides which way the cone faces. The astral dreadnought's opened eye creates an area of antimagic, as in the antimagic field spell, in a 150-foot cone. One of the guards shoots an arrow and misses, the Astral Dreadnought then uses it's legendary action to use physic projection which will kill or nearly kill all of the guards and their horses.Antimagic Cone. It uses it's action to dash and get nice and close to all of them. The horse riders are riding on a dead god when suddenly this thing breaks out of the silvery expance around them and charges to attack. Probably Warhorses with Guards or Bandits. How are a army of mongol horse archers going to get to the Astral plane, if they could lets say there are 40 of them, using the basic stats for what they would be. It have 80 ft flight that is a great movement, one of it's legendary actions is an area attack that hits everything within 60 ft, 20 AC is high for most monsters, It deals more damage then a creature of it's CR is expected to, it's attacks have reaches of 20ft and 10ft those are good ranges, no it is not immune to normal weapons but it is resistant.

They should have written its fluff accordingly.It's HP is not lowish it's slightly below average. They're dangerous in the same way lions and crocodiles are dangerous to safari guides in Africa. Terrifying if you're caught alone and unprepared, but not something professionals should worry about, especially in the Astral Plane which actually basically IS an infinite featureless plain. It's basically an oversized Great White Shark with an antimagic field. Any monster that can be killed by Mongol horse archers in moderate numbers does not deserve a terrifying reputation. Lowish HP, decent but not exceptional movement, no area attacks, good but not exceptional AC, good but not exceptional damage, short-ranged attacks, not immune to normal weapons.

They should have written its fluff accordingly.What are those Mongol Horse archers doing on the Astral plane? Lowish HP, decent but not exceptional movement (no legendary movement, no teleportation or blink or hiding options), no area attacks, good but not exceptional AC, good but not exceptional damage, short-ranged attacks, not immune to normal weapons. They should have written its fluff accordingly. So if these things survive, it's only because (like lions and crocodiles) no one is interested in killing them all off.

Anyone who can get to the Astral plane unaided already knows how to kill one if needed, if the player (or NPC) isn't a fool.

In all previous editions it was little more then a brute there too.It's not a formidable monster. Why is that it seems a perfectly decent and somewhat complex monster.
