Posted Nov 15, 2020One could justify the higher armor class because the creature is small and flying around, thus it is harder to hit.

Posted Nov 18, 2020Due to high dexterity and size they are harder to hit than a giant crab.

Posted Dec 31, 2020BTW, has anyone figured out how these cold-blooded jungle creatures are delivering messages in Icewind Dales? (RotFM) I cringe everytime I have to DM one of these...

Posted Mar 4, 2021Well, they are very quick. Also, the high AC might partly be compensating for its low hit points. (Only 5!!!)

Posted Mar 9, 2021This flying threat is pretty OP. I picked it as my ranger companion and after applying everything this is its new stat block.
Flying Snake Companion
Flyby. The snake doesn't provoke opportunity attacks when it flies out of an enemy's reach.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 3 piercing damage plus 7 (3d4) poison damage.
Note: I'm ranger level 4.
1/2
I honestly think flying snake should be at least CR 1/4 or maybe even

Posted May 25, 2021The artwork makes it look so cute!!
Also legit argument for taking Thunderclap or Word of Radiance cantrips as well as Burning Hands or Dragon's Breath. Anything spell that makes sure it takes damage even with successful roll is key!
