[@the_last_ballad]

​@@gwest3644 in other words, the most chaotic thing WoTC could think of is something that is 100% predictable and never goes outside its lane. Thats not clever, thats a rationalization to justify a bad implementation. These things are regarded as the planer archetype of chaos, and they fail miserably as that since they are as tightly structured as Modrons except with slightly opaque ways of operating. The best they have is a % chance of spawning two diffrent types of themselves upon stabbing a guy, and a randomized timer for another metamorphosis. Limbo incorperating the shard of order being part of its chaotic ways? Yes, love that, its a bit paradoxical but adaptability is chaos's perview(Modrons, beings of pure order, are incapable of adapting. Its the rules at all times). Slaads are not adaptable, unpredictable, or capable of anything other than murder. They themselves are not a bad idea, just as Limbo incorperated the spawning stone and was altered by it, the stone, which(as a rewrite) was supposed to spawn Modrons, was corrupted as well, creating orderly creatures with a tinge of randomness. The Slaads being a virus of order within Limbo is a better concept than the current one, where the embodiments of chaos are less varied and unpredictable than embodiments of order. But we need actual chaos elementals to balance the plane out, because currently its just the "lol Im so random" plane where you can predict what is coming out of it well in advance. Give me chaos elementals that change their resistances, damage, and vulnerabilities every turn(which reflects in their form, like a fire/lightning resistant, thunder/bludgining vulnerable could be depicted as fire that is as rigid as glass) forcing adaptability from foes. If Surviving on Mechanist requires following every law ridgidly and , otherwise swarms of modrons will decend to correct you, then surviving in Limbo should require just as much adaptability and spontaneity to interact with the ditizens there, by either you adapting to what they are doing, or you forcing them to adapt to your actions. There is an order to chaos, it cant break rules without rules to break, just as there is chaos in order as the modron march breeds chaos from its perfect order... but the Slaads aren't it. They are off-brand order cosplaying as being chaotic. And it pisses me off.

[@paperbullet1945]

Here's some advice I got once about how to characterize slaadi that might help you, my fellow D&D DMs: 1) play up the disease-like aspect of how they spread. When demons arrive on the material plane it's an incursion; when slaad do it, it's an epidemic 2) 'chaos' in d&d is approximately 'anarchist' or 'anti-authoritarian'. Slaad are inherently affronted by control: they may be anti-slavery, the smarter ones will work to bring down governments just for the sake of it. 3) slaad are varied. They have different motivations, likes and desires. Some will want to reproduce much. Some will create things randomly, indulging in 'art' that perhaps pushes the boundaries of the term. They are likely to be curious, although given their size and small intellect this can cause problems for the subjects of their curiosity. For my world I introduced myriad alternative colours and forms of slaad to make them seem more variable 4) they are not evil. They don't do lol randumbz things that are particularly spiteful or harmful; to put one's own purposes above another like that is evil. But equally they are not good; they don't spontaneously give away their possessions or decide to help people on a whim. 5) slaad have little control over their lives. They don't plan much, relying on spontaneity and a confidence in their ability to find a path whatever happens. They might wander whimsically, uncaring of where the world might take them. Alternatively, they might seem like a constant edge-of-seat white-knuckle-ride action junkie. 6) for green and upwards slaad, their progression through different colours is a defining feature of their life. It might be an ambition, or something to be avoided, or just another future thing not to be worried about just yet. But every such slaad is aware that this can happen, and will be conscious of it day to day. 7) slaad lives are varied enough that a long-lived slaad will have tried many things over the years. They're likely to be a polyglot and polymath, similar to a less intelligent elf. Consider having them use the jack of all trades bard feature. If they're a recurring NPC, consider having them do wildly different crafts or skills each time they meet the party - crafting statuettes one day, robbing a bank the next, practicing the piano another time, training with their greatsword afterwards, etc .

[@--CHARLIE--]

I wish slaadi were this interesting as characters. I love slaad biology, their backstory is cool, and the slaad lord ygorl is metal as all hell. But slaad are not really like this and are much more one note. They exist to make more of themselves. They are usually destructive as they are bullied into servitude by greater slaad much like demons. Their ultimate leaders in such a structure are the death slaad, who are chaotic evil. Plus although alignment is up to interpretation, it is generally agreed upon that law and chaos does not refer to literal laws. Infact as far as im aware the original meaning if the lawful alignment was much more accurately described with the term principaled and chaotic as unprincipaled. Good just mean't selfless and evil just mean't selfless. So a chaotic neutral creature us as you say, neither selfish or selfless or are alternating between the two. However they may still benefit or harm those around them as a result if their actions, and they do not obey any sort of creed. I think alignment in general is outdated as a system and shouldn't be used to determine how a creature acts. I do agree that there should be more variants. Even counting the mud slaad and the white and black slaad as well as the slaad lords. You as a dm are free to change things in your own settings. I am just going off the original intent of the alignment system as far as I've been informed it was described in the original books (for everything starting from "plus although alignment is up to interpretation" to "i think alignment on general is outdated) ad well as how slaad are described in the lore for everything before that point. This is in no way mean't to harm, and I actually prefer your version. I just get sensitive about how information is presented if it is misleading or incorrect. My anxiety is acting up all of a sudden so now I can't say you're wrong, but I was about too. Once sgain, I do like your version better.

After a bunch of stuff and in a seemingly random encounter in the Feywild, he managed to capture a Slaad and enslave it with its mind gem. It was some sort of poetic justice, but just in last session an army of Slaads attacked the Elven city in which we are staying and while my character is generally happy about the opportunity of capturing the death slaad that is commanding the army, i can't shake the feeling it's retaliation for slaving the first Slaad i encountered instead of just killing it.

One thing I noticed about the Slaad is that they’re Aberrations. That's interesting because Aberrations usually originate from the Far Realm, yet the Slaad are supposedly Planar beings from Limbo so them being Aberrations don’t really make that much sense. I have a theory about this. Basically the Spawning Stone didn’t actually truly spawn them but instead transported them to Limbo from somewhere in the Far Realm and infused them with the energies of Limbo to help keep them bound there, allowing them to keep a permanent station there and not be banished. They also reproduce eerily similar to how Illithids reproduce, and they’re from the Far Realm.

It would be really useful to have a guideline out there that covers the basics. Something like, 1) A good name is important, if you call yourself edgey mcedgerton, nobody will like you. 2) Why is your character going on an adventure? 3) What type of personality does he/she/it have? 4) Potential backstory plot hooks the dm can use if they so desire 5) Keep it between 500-1500 words in length. less might as well be an atari character, more is mary sue over complicated or crammed full of useless info.
