Posted Feb 6, 2025I still believe giving them Advantage on saving throws instead of straight up Immunity made them more interesting for both the players, and the DM, as you'd rarely ever use this as a "boss" monster that needs that kind of special protection. :/

Posted Mar 15, 2025I believe no. 2 on the "Ettin Interactions" table is an error, copy and pasted from the Gorgon stat block? Unless it means the Ettin believes that there is a Gorgon behind it, which could be a funny encounter in itself.

Posted May 2, 2025I personally like how they're immune to those conditions instead of just Advantage. As DM, I'd play it off as only one of the heads having one of those conditions at a time but the other one picking up the slack.

Posted May 19, 2025Thr new artwork looks good. Nothing special but I like it.
Statwise not much changed. I find it weird that they are immune now si ce you can probably for example, blind both heads at once. I will just rule otherwise if players are creative.
Giving disadvantage or prone with attacks is a nice lil buff.
Overall nothing realy hew still good changes

Posted May 24, 2025During sleep, you have the Unconscious condition. After you finish a Long Rest, you must wait at least 16 hours before starting another one.
dude can't take a long rest so he'll die

Posted May 26, 2025Actually, the 2014 Monster Manual said "One head sleeps while the other remains awake". That means the heads take it in turns to take rests, so 1 will be unconscious and the other awake for the rest's duration.

Posted May 27, 2025The Ettin is immune because 1 head will act as a "meat shield" and absorb any effect that makes it charmed, unconscious, etc., while the other picks up the slack.
