Two CR 30 Boss Monsters
Added 2025-04-24 15:00:29 +0000 UTCBeing a huge fan of Matt Colville, when I ran my level 1 - 20 campaign, I was inspired by a villain he talked about in his videos: Ajax.
In time, I created my own fork of that character, different in many ways, mine had ascended for instance! The campaign revolved around a quest to unmake his godhood in order to be able to kill him.
When the heroes succeeded in ending his divinity, he attacked them during the Last Day of the Last War, and an epic fight took place. The last fight before that one was a fight against the five-headed Queen of Dragons.
Below I've linked both statblocks homebrewed on D&D Beyond.

He might use his reaction to Counterspell instead!

2025-05-18 22:15:43 +0000 UTCMaybe a silly question, but if the Overlords can cast Shield at will and it lasts for a whole round then why is the AC not just 30? I must be missing something

2025-04-25 19:32:51 +0000 UTCYou should give your Tiamat proficiency in initiative like they have done to monsters in the 2025 MM. She is a god after all.
