| Jul 7, 2020 at 6:22 | comment | added | NathanS | @Cireo That is a good point, I didn't put much thought into the name, but as you say, they can die, and this "Elder" is simply one who has lived a very long time and hasn't been killed yet. They can apparently reproduce according to MM: "They pass on their knowledge and experience from generation to generation.", so that at least supports the notion that some can be older than others... | |
| Jul 7, 2020 at 0:13 | comment | added | Cireo | From a lore perspective, worth noting that an "Elder Aboleth" is a bit of an oxymoron, as they are already considered to be the oldest creatures (older than gods) in 5e. That being said, their bodies can be destroyed from time to time, so it isn't unreasonable. | |

| Jul 6, 2020 at 12:30 | comment | added | NathanS | @Mołot It's kinda buried in the text, I'll admit, but in the third paragraph, I do mention the lair actions, but I didn't want to bloat the post any further by including them verbatim (especially since all I'm changing is the CR); as for Mucous Cloud, I think it would probably prevent any creature from breathing air regardless of whether they could breathe water or not, but us discussing anything more than that about the Mucous Cloud should probably be its own question (I didn't come up with that wording myself, after all, since it is copied directly from the RAW aboleth stat block...) | |
| Jul 6, 2020 at 12:23 | comment | added | Mołot | No lair actions? And for Mucous Cloud, does it give water breathing to creatures that don't have it, or have it only temporarily? | |
