Posted Feb 6, 2025Just ran this today for my players. The Ram to knock them prone before the Claw + Bite is DEVIOUS. I love it.

Posted Apr 16, 2025Amazing artwork.
Not much has changed for my beloved chimera. Ram knocks a pc probe now which is amazing. Bite deals an extra 7 dmg if it has advantage (like against a prone enemy hehe) but claw does 4 dmg less now.
Overall same good monster with no significant changes.

Posted Aug 2, 2025That would be due to WotC using AI art generators instead of paying actual artists.

Posted Aug 11, 2025DC 15 strength save on the prone effect and this one is good to go. Its not the strongest auto effect, but they didnt balanced creatures given auto effect on hit to creatures without it, bringing way to much imbalance and rendering npc vs npc fight completly unplayable.
Their was nothing to change about the chimera cause it was good and balanced as it was. But once you put a dc for balance, the new one make it a bit more flavorful. Just sad they removed all the trivia about their creation. The artwork... the scenary is good, the execution is meh. I prefear the ancient art, cause yeah maybe less epic, but it gave you a better understanding of its anatomy.
