What Happens When a Wizard in D&D Gets TOO Ambitious? 

You forgot that link to Ed's channel lol

Really want to see the Suel Lich in 5e. It's probably the most horrifying monster in the sense of what its existence implies and just the chain of destroyed lives and souls for one to be as old as they are. Also it's one of the myrad of ways that liches got around the old rule of "liches can't gain experience" which is the main reason why PCs wouldn't want to become liches in ad&d.

Shame about that name, though.

I'd love to see the voadkyn from the adnd complete book of humanoids

@@danielgehring7437 what about it?

Just like Druids can use Rust Monsters to defeat armored combatants

They don't even need to eat gems they just like to eat shiney things lol

@@jamesburrows3602yeah it “likes” them… so it’ll be extra happy with the arrangement since it gets the thing it likes.

​@@chrismanuel9768 druids get the heat metal spell

Listen, I'm a wizard that beats a rival in a duel, I'm not gonna turn them into a freaking Dragon or Displacer Beast or something. Failboat monster is much safer.

And much more humiliating @@brettwood1351

​@@brettwood1351or turn them into a cow so you can milk them everyday as an exploit and profit from them while they live the rest of their lives eating grass

All those predators need SOMETHING to eat.

Tf is a failboat?

No, just that it is a wonder that has no wings.

And it overpowered

That's just birds though they are wonderful

Dragons?

@chickensky1121 not all dragons have wings :o

I think that’s the inevitable dragon your DM can never quite resist slipping into the story somewhere.

thats just a bird

What if it eats an orb of annihilation?

@@thecreepoid901 Ooh, I know this one, actually. Since the orb is comprised entirely of magic, it simply winks out of existence while in an anti-magic field. The location of the orb is still tracked and it will pop back into existence once the anti-magic field dissipates, but during the time it is considered not to exist. So a Wingless Wonder could not, in fact, eat one, it would just be eating air. Although that, of course, is only the official ruling. I'm sure we could come up with a loophole, 'cuz that sounds hella fun, lol.

You're evil. I like that 🙂

Seems like it would have been simple enough to just change that in the next edition and any reprintings.

They also explode when they die. Maybe Ed knew something back then nobody else did

An exploding Alkada monster with a negative association to flying? Say it ain't so

That's hilarious.

@@smithsmith1956 Sounds like someone figured out a way around that 10 foot no magic handicap.

​@@brettwood1351According to another comment, Wild Magic Surge

Do not let anything with 'Stupid' as a primary descriptive trait around vats of hot oil.

wwww

@@Babbleplay It has fire resistance! Things will be fine.

​@@RyllenKriel *IT* might be fire proof, but I doubt everything else around it is 😂. I love the idea and see no reason why it couldn't be run by a transformed Wonder. They keep their intelligence stats after all.

@@Babbleplay Wonderbob, me boy, we need more wingless patties!

Usually just being poisonous is enough for any animal who is not inmmune to poison in this case to not eat you

...See now I remember that story too. But I swear I know these CREATURES from a *much* more recent release than the ones listed in the video too.

​@@Pyreperhaps you read it in some third party content that added sorcerers as possible trapped objectives?idk I'm adding it to my world just bc of how funny that sounds

Anti magic field does not protect you against meteor swarm if its summoned out of the field and falls on you. So that story souns wrong or hombrewed stuff

@@feanor585 I'm pretty sure it's cannon but I don't recall if the wonder survived now that I think back

IDK about that story but the FR wiki references Psionic Races and Classes (2007 original) confirming the wild magic surge that functions like a wand of wonder - and that the Alkada becomes vulnerable to magic for a brief moment (1 round?) after using it.

There's no way dad didn't realize how that sounds

Yeah, I would've pronounced it "al-KAH-duh", or maybe put emphasis on the first syllable for "AL-kah-duh", just to make it more distinctly...not what we're thinking when we hear that. >_>;

This monster causes psychic damage against millennials

I'm sorry, I'm not getting the reference...

@@RipOffProductionsLLC What is the name of the group that claimed responsibility for the events that lead to the Patriot Act?

SUS?

​@@AegisGaming99I'll consume your bones

lol@@ButterToastPotado

Except all his magical Buffs are gone.

@@dubuyajay9964 The lich's or the fighter's?

@@danielgehring7437 The Fighter's Magical Gear and other enchantments.

@@dubuyajay9964 Right, sorry, I was overly sarcastic there. The point was, whatever debuffs the warrior has, would also debuff the lich.

Fighter? Nah. Totem Barbarian dedicated to protecting the innocent animals of the world. He doesn't know what kind of animal this is, but he's still gonna protect it!

It's the Wizard's own fault. STOP MAKING SPELLS THAT MAKE ALL OTHER CLASSES REDUNDANT YOU BEARDED JERKS!

I see no broad, flat nails.

Inferno Spider? Wild guess, but is it from the plane of fire?

@@umbreonmaster8921 You would be correct in that guess.

I immediately thought of the Wand of Orcus. How about a lich's phylactery inside a Wingless Wonder?

Goober alert! Its really a straight up GOOOOBER

Unless your GM rules that trapping them against their will counts as harming them.

The CIA has already let me know that monster of the week is in their radar

@@DungeonDad Good, they need a chill lore break every once in a while lol. (But also thank you for these, you're very cool)

Like a barbarian that's turned into a wingless wonder perpetually emits calm emotions?

@@thewanderers97 Yeah, that's pretty much exactly what I was thinking!

Unfortunately not, no.

@@KevinVideo I guess I’ll just make it up. I’m trying to write in a character who is part storm giant part sun giant all hippy. Maybe real good at frisbee golf and music festivals.

I’d imagine that’s like having a toddler for their entire life. “REBECCA! NO! GIVE ME THAT! SPIT IT OUT! SPIT IT-YOU’RE GOING TO MAKE YOURSELF SICK!”

Imagining increasingly exasperated Wizard dealing with a party where nobody seems to know how to read "Please cast dispel magic or lift curse on me."

@brettwood1351 If there was an additional magical effect on the wingless wonder that prevents communication then the statement of it can't communicate would have merit however simply stating as a fact that they can't from the start is a flaw in the lore and function of the creature. On a side note There is a particularly funny and mostly harmless very old creature that is halfway between a sea urchin or sea anemone that is buoyant in the air or water or anything else. This creature is basically harmless because the only way that it can hurt you is for you to take an action that triggers an attack of opertunity while in its threatening range of five feet or bumbling directly into it. They are filter feeders that can't attack any other way and they can't cause lethal damage under any circumstances. They have 1d4 +1 hp and minimum ability scores for all stats while also being unable to move under their own actions. They have an ability that gives Unlimited attacks of opertunites and another that give them a chance to split/ reproduce every turn and that is everything. There CR rating is 1/16 and their Hp is always restored when they split. They don't give experience but every time you kill one there is a chance that you will be able to harvest their tentacles for use in a non-magical tempary weapon modification that gives it a +1 to non-lethal damage and a to paralyze whatever you hit. Yes they can paralyze you while they are alive but they really need to hit you a lot to do that.
