Hopefully the title says it all. If not, uh, I guess I have to explain.
Essentially the purpose of this thread is to collectively create a BALANCED homebrew class, monster, item, race, etc. with few to no restrictions to see what we can come up with together. Once one thing has been made and published to someone's account we move on, making another, and the cycle continues.
Unfortunately it is very unlikely that we will be able to get by without some unhinged fool trying to ruin things, so I'll set some ground rules:
- Obviously nothing NSFW. That should go without saying, but I want to be sure that's clear.
- Don't start a new project until the last one has either finished or gone unmodified for over a week.
- KEEP IT BALANCED. Don't try to add the most overpowered ability you can imagine to a monster with CR 1. That's not cool.
That should cover everything I care to mention. Ideally this would be the part where people join the thread and start having a grand ole time, but nothing in life is perfect so that might take a bit. Have fun, or something.

Okay, this thread looks cool! Let’s make a monster to start. My idea is something along the lines of a Yule Cat from Mythology. I think we should aim for CR 8, and make it a Fey, fiend, or a monstrosity.
Yule Cat, from what I've learned in my 30 second google search, seems like it would probably be closest to Fey, so I'd say we settle on that.

Ok, so what about hit points? I was thinking somewhere around 120 would work, but I dunno if that's good for CR 8.

if it is going through ice i would say DEX of 18 but a CHA of 6-8
So CHA of 7?

Since it's perceptive enough to know when people aren't wearing new Christmas clothes I would bump up wisdom a bit, maybe 17-ish.

Okay, it’s size should be gargantuan, and it should have the (titan) tag like Atropals, Krakens, and Tarrasques have.

It seems pretty good, maybe a bit higher. Lets say 140, this thing is going to be more of a frontline fighter.
for speed I think 80 foot walk speed, and 30 foot climb?
can we add 15 feet of swim?

1d10, I think. But first, ability scores!
probably a strength of 26, and a constitution of 22. Dex of 16?

Wisdom of 15, and intelligence of 9?

Yeah, that seems good. And also expertise in Perception and Insight, and proficiency in stealth.
What would the reach for this be?

Either ten or fifteen feet, maybe ten for a bite and then 15 for claws, and 5 for a swallow?
