#5E CONJURE DEMON SERIES#
Between Volo’s Guide to Monsters and Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse there are a measly TWO additional options added: maw demons are another CR 1 option, and abyssal wretches are another CR ¼ option.īecause you don’t control any of the demons, most of the time what you can expect out of them is a series of attacks against things nearby. If your DM is just working out of the Monster Manual, we’re looking at only three options: One CR 1 option, quasits, one CR ¼ option, dretches, and one CR ⅛ option, manes. The DM always picks what demons appear, meaning we’re back to the old fun conundrum of asking your DM to just have at the ready any and all demons that they’d have you summon.

It succeeds moderately, I think, but largely because the pool of demons you’re summoning from is much smaller, and have a more consistent low power for their CR.Oh, and all the demons summoned always want to kill you.Īfter rolling a d6, you get one of three outcomes: two CR 1 or lower demons appear, four CR ½ or lower demons appear, or eight CR ¼ or lower demons appear. Summon Lesser Demons looks back at the sins of its predecessors (cough cough conjure anything cough cough) and tries to make clear differences that land it in a more “fair” space. What iconic tools built to be wildly overpowered. Review by Sam West, Twitter: summoning magic.
