Mastering Dungeons
Monster Manual Design Changes! (MD 226)

But I thought that was interesting because this is one of the ones that I was like, oh, gargoyles, man, you're going to be in fighting them for a while because of that half damage kind of angle. Which I also like because it meant that casters got to shine and that kind of thing and that's gone. Immunity to...

non-magic uh you know where you need non-magic and you're either immune or resistant is essentially gone in 2025 what isn't gone are immunities and resistances and the number of monsters with them is enormous um so there's a lot of that you know most monsters have one or the other if not both which is interesting yeah

I don't... Yeah, yeah. I think that, you know, but to me that is, I like that because to me it speaks to the gargoyle's nature as being an elemental. It is stone. It's like when the Gallup door, right, is just sitting there as a boulder. If it doesn't talk to you or open its eyes, it's a boulder. and there's no reason to see anything else there.

And it, and it doesn't need to itch or blink or breathe, you know? So there is no perception to be made. I would argue, I think it's great. And same thing with a mimic. A mimic is just so otherworldly that if it wants to be a chest or a sword or whatever, it can be, and you're not going to figure out what it is. And so I actually liked false appearance, but, but I get what you're saying.

I think they don't. I think they have changed to address it in some other way that isn't the false appearance angle. I think the mimic, I'll look it up here. Which is interesting, right? And it goes to that whole 2024 versus 2014. You know, what are you trying to do with it and why? So the Mimic has now a bonus action shapeshift.

And this actually appears in a number of monsters with slightly different wording. But in this case, the Mimic shapeshifts to resemble a medium or small object while retaining its game statistics or it returns to its true blob form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. So now...

you can detect a mimic right you can just look at it from afar and go i want to make a check and i guess i don't know what it would is it in that case making i guess i guess for the mimic it has stealth plus five in 2025 2024 so you would roll against that

Search, action, which would be your perception versus study, which would be your investigation. Yeah. So, yeah, I guess. Yeah, you make that action and you would. But, you know, I don't like it, right? I mean, I think that The mimic should just surprise you because it's that otherworldly. And I think the gargoyle, you can't tell.

And you can shoot it with an arrow and you're going to damage that rock. And then you can decide as DM, does my gargoyle decide to reveal itself because it doesn't like that you're shooting it with arrows. But it also could just sit there.
