What They Don't Tell You About The Flumphs - D&D 

is there any wiki or codex that lists useful monster parts? ive always been a fan of creating my own magic items in D&D rather the rely on a magic item shop or random loot tables to get my loadouts, and of course selling magical items is a nice way to make a profit

will we get the humans,dwarfs, gnomes, halflings next?

Gave you a super thanks. I watch literally all your stuff so its about time I actually supported your channel. Please keep it coming.

@@dudeboydudeboy-zj8kd I believe he already made Dwarves & Humans. Or at least I vaguely remember a youtuber video talk about them.

What they don't tell you about Bahamut?

When I first found out about Flumphs, my friend described them as “derpy and kinda pathetic lawful good cousins of beholders”

Hmm, I don't know about you guys, but it sounds like Dungeon racism to me. Lol

@@zainiadnan2335 well, to me it sounds more accurate than racist

"Where?!" Actually wheezed

​@@nunull6427the amount of racism in DND is both immense and makes sense.

That’s called Flumph tipping! Haw haw haw haw!

they already have rothe tipping

How dare they

Flumph Tumping?

@@Silverset_ Flumping!

You know which is better? The DM portaying the flumph as the scared abomination which attack the Paladin, rolling an almost max damage 4d4 Nat20, then all of you miraculously missing, then it just TPKs

@@debreczeniarpad9956 Please tell me this isn't based on a true story

@@Fish-vs6jf you know, it's weird enough to be true.

Wild magic is wild*

I once became "king flumph" because I helped them throw their eggs into space

I am a cleric that worships an eldritch deity and often get visions of the underdark he also has the desire to meet a flumph.

I introduced one to my party and thetryed to kill it.

@@manticore2804 murder hobos huh? 😂

It’s a built-in plot hook. As much as I loved old flumphs, it was hard to figure out how to use them.

Flumph familiar with Pact of the Chain!

@@kalebglenn5279 Your boss or supervisor?

The fabled Flying Spaghetti Monster is merely the Great Flumph in the Sky.

When the warlock communes with their patron all they hear is "YEP YEP YEP YEP YEP YEP YEP"

That's a pretty cool idea.

It’s not an official resource, but I think _Stibbles’ Codex of Companions_ brings some of that back.

That reminds me it still puzzles me that we lost Wyrm and Great Wyrm age stages of Dragons

They're great when you want that much information, sure. But as a monster manual? It might honestly be too detailed. I mean, think about it, how thick is the 5e MM already, how massive would it be if it tried to fit *that* much for every creature.

@@sarcasmismyfavoriteemotion4180 the monster manual should be done in volumes each one covering specific creatures. Would makes it way easier to find what you want for a campaign setting and give you way more information to work with as the DM.

@@sarcasmismyfavoriteemotion4180 actually pretty slim book, the monster manual.

I think the only other race not likely to try and enslave, murder, eat your brain/suck up your memories, or otherwise traumatized you are Myconids... just don't ask about the shambling carry on bag undead... totally nothing potentially awful there I promise.. (There is a fish species thing, the ones who make gods and have a yawning portals subsegment with their village .. but they aren't a good race in general, not bad either.. just fucking crazy and paranoid) maybe I'm missing something but Duggar, drow, and deep gnomes aren't 100% gonna attack on sight dependent on DM. The deep gnome traveling merchant are one of few neutral encounters that don't involve dumb luck (they don't desire to kill, enslave, etc you) or damn amazing charisma rolls. I'm no expert though, only played one campaign by one dm with a sadist streak (lvl 3 party escaped from a drow slave encampment, we has very little equipment and said above fish village was our first stop after escape. I fell out with the dm not long after but the idea was to make for a duegar trading area where their mastersmith leader was rumored to be some kind of dragon, also stonegiants were in the same city. If you care about any of this I don't care elaborating about my shitshow of a campaign.. I wasn't the dm)

This actually makes sense. For a game as open-ended and customisable as D&D, it’s amazing how many of its fans are *SO* resistant to change...

If only Chris Perkins could come up with stuff like this rather than political garbage.

Only issue with that is that casting cleric spells comes from deities, not innate spell casting ability.

Honestly I wish they would make every changed monster like that. In 4e dryad's didn't have mind controlling spells and were strange ent like creatures that could just look human. Changing them all was a bad idea but a sub species of dryads that transform would be amazing.

@@OrangeyChocolateIts not a resistance to change. When you establish lore for something. You can't turn around and say gotcha this entirely new thing is true without explaining it. That's the problem is a lot of the changes that are made make no sense and they don't bother to explain why it was changed beyond "we thought it was cool".

Dont diss the warning system that you are soon to be mentally screwed

Can't believe it came after Dracoliches.

Xykon can wait.

He was right! And Monster Manuel is a great party dude!

Monsater Manuel, it's a Mexican guy that looks like a bugbear and is sad because he scares people

@@Overlord99762 😂😂😂

Nah, Monster Manuel is a guy with a somewhat mexican accent, selling Real(!) Monsters, according to this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dPyD-Pap260.html

They are made of friend

It's literally Forrest Gump but with Mackey mouse voice and a touch of waterboy

Flumph plushies!

@@shishoka yes yes yes

@@shishokathey must contain a squeaky toy.

Some else also suggested that the new flumphs are evolved from the older, omnivore flumphs

MrRhexx: “Flumphs are unpopular and suck.” Comments: “OMG I LOVE THEM! 😍”

I too want my psycic shiny dragons

‘Gem’s’ fighting words

I know you're right, but I don't have to like it

Yeah, i like dragons but im kind of burnt out on them

I love dragons but it's always fun to see the other monsters get stuff especially because some of the cooler dragons aren't released for 5e

I like dragons but holy shit have they gone too far with the variety. Just the chromatic dragons were fine, that gave us 10 different varieties of Dragon to use, what do we have now, 30+?

And, I mean, if they really want to, they can do a whole book on dragons and draconoids' varieties. To me the base Monsters Manual is meant to have a selection of various monsters you can whip out for your scenarios.

2nd edition was still in greyhawk, not faerun so it's actually a dimension difference

@@LegionAngel00 the exact 2e book is called advanced dungeons and dragons forgotten realms and it introduces faerun

They do! The author is a super knowledgeable long term dnd fan.

One of the greatest web comics ever

I thought they were familiar.

Yeah, I may have fallen in love with Flumphs in 5e and that interpretation is just how I'll think of them, but it's still fun to know what came before.

Higher honestly. If you minmax a bow using fighter they can start at lvl 1 with a +9 to hit. 5 from max Dex, 2 from proficiency, 2 from archery fighting style. If you wanna be that guy, make them a custom lineage elf from tashas with the elven accuracy feat, and watch your effective to hit bonus go through the roof as your dm hires a hitman after the first session. Fair n balanced

@@kippie8200 I'm not super familiar with 2e, but I suspect a 2e fighter could also minmax to get a better THAC0, but probably just another +1 or +2, so maybe a more accurate 5e equivalent would be AC 22?

Valid.

Well they may fit in the wildspace planes within the astral sea. In fact given they have a psionic dependence on creatures formally from those realms suggest their true origins.

@@RawCauliflower Wildspace planes? Are those new?

@@MythosTheSophist Wildspace are the solar systems within the astral sea. Supposedly they contain a particular dnd realm such as realm space, our default setting, and there is also a wildspace realm representing the dragon lance books etc. The illithids used to dominate many wildspace realms, which then the githyanki took over. Again the Flumph absorb these species psi energy. This will be expanded in the new spelljammer books, which includes an admiral Flumph with a seafaring hat and fake beard.

@@RawCauliflower That's what I thought. In old Spelljammer, Wildspace is just the space inside Crystal Spheres, which float inside phlogiston, not the Astral. I had heard about 5e changing that, but I didn't look into it because I don't use almost any 5e material.

I'm playing a gnome cleric and she's pretty fun. My DM threw a few undead at us one time and I managed to destroy 6 and cause the rest to run away so the party could focus on the boss. And she's shaping up to become the 2nd tank of the party, or at least she's a grenade.

@@bethanysmith5856 *HOLY Grenade

@@bethanysmith5856 A well-placed Turn Undead can completely reverse the course of a battle. There are some very angry ladies in my current Curse of Strahd campaign that wish we didn't have a cleric. Also, clerics have some rather potent damage spells that even wizards can be jealous of. And the most subclass variety in the game. D&D is good to clerics.

@@foisopracurtir6389 Get the holy hand grenade!

Yeah, I played a Flumph Knowledge Cleric a while ago just cuz it seemed like a good fit with their advanced knowledge of math as described in the 5e books, I had no idea that cleric was a legit thing for them.

Do it! In a game I'm running atm, one of my players is a Farspawn (homebrew half human / half aberration) of Beholder origin. Despite her darker impulses, she's incredibly purehearted and kind of obsessed with flumphs as an example of "good" aberrations. One of the other players even had a magic item made for her in the style of the figurines of wondrous power, but instead it's a little pendant that can turn into a flumph for a short time XD

The point of the modern monster manuals seems to give you an outline of characteristics and stats, rather than detailed ecology breakdowns, as you can guess, this puts a limit on how much you can include.

The Dark Mantle is kind of the same thing, just not a jelly fish...and trickier.
