When I think of Grell I think of deadly creature combos. An elite Grell Philosopher which utilizes a pair of Far Realm-corrupted Darkmantel as "hunting companions" could be a brutal combatant in the proper setting. The Darkmantel keep the surrounding area magically dark and...eerie, then the Grell springs from the deepest shadows to grab the nearest player and drags them off into a corner to flay the paralyzed victim at their leisure. Since both can float/fly the Grell would also be smart enough to ambush in locations with pits so the players have a chance to fall to their deaths' in the magical dark without the Grell having to even lift a barbed tentacle.

Regarding the history of GW and D&D, it's fairly well known that the shop was started as a means to distribute all ttrpgs and that they manufactured minis for a lot of different games and built their wargames around them. I bring this up because just like the vrock to the changer of ways, they seemed to shift the grell to the enslavers from what little art appears of the enslavers.

Becoming undead would not really be inline with Grell psychology. For example, Grell are tool users, and use their alchemy to create Lightning Lances and things like Grell crystal barriers and doors, but Grell actually spend very little effort to build or improve their lairs - they just move into some old ruins or caves they find, don't bother with making any changes except for specific practical needs, and whatever loot they have just gets left wherever it lies on the ground. A Grell's identity is "hungry". A Grell wouldn't even want to become undead because ... undead don't eat. Why would a Grell work fervently to give up its primary identity? Grell aren't personally ambitious. When in a colony, they participate in group decision-making where the Patriarch's voice has more sway but the Patriarch isn't a dictator. The colony concerns itself with survival and with eating. When feral i.e. not in a colony, Grell are simply lone-hunters, they definitely aren't off in some tower doing arcane research. Grell are a fairly easy opponent for DM's to manage. Not too complicated - trying to run an Aboleth can be HARD, because of Aboleth intelligence and motivations - but Grell are interesting and definitely threatening enough to keep players on their toes. A Grell colony can destroy village after village until a group of adventurers gets in there to properly clean them out. It turns out that right at this moment I am running a party in a moderate-sized arc to deal with an encroaching Grell colony, in a 3.5 campaign. Grell provide great core combat experiences including opponent spellcasters, but pretty much zero opportunity for any social resolutions, and their tremorsense totally nerfs stealth attempts by the party - it's basically march on in and smash, not much chance for the party to do very much that is subtle.

i absolutely want to use these weird alien horrors in my games, and I would like to use them as the weird technologically advanced alien species who are just so foreign that they simply appear monstrous to anyone with a typical humanoid mindset. What might happen when someone tries to detect the thoughts of a grell or communicate telepathically with them? Who knows! Also, a bit off topic, but I have been reading some of the forgotten realms novels and I was wondering if you could do a video one of these days about the Chosen of the gods? I know that the Chosen of Mystra manifest spellfire and other metamagic-like abilities, and the chosen of Asmodeus manifest something weird powers like a fear aura, fire immunity, and a sorta prototype pact of the chain type connection to the hells, but other abilities of the other gods are pretty vague? What exactly makes a Chosen special?

The biggest danger to a DM who chooses to run Grell is that your players WILL get one and probably multiple Lightning Lances, and your players WILL eventually have a good enough ability to activate those devices reliably. With 5/day uses each, that DPS will simply become part of the party's standard power. It at-will 3D6 ranged touch attack sounds overpowered for your party, then be very careful.

@@mikewaterfield3599 Sure, a DM can cheese-it and just prevent the party from getting the item: "As the Grell dies, it loses its grip on the Lance, and when the Lance touches the ground, it melts away into nothing." At which point your player's just groan at you, because they know what's up. If that's what you are going to do, then don't even have the Grell have Lances. Just give them innate 5/day ranged touch lightning attacks as an SLA. At least then the players won't groan at you.

You can never take an item away from the party, that is just the cheapest move and the players see right thru you. Hence my recommendation to "be careful" in regards to their Lances.

An old DM of mine had a mad wizard mess around with Grell and Intellect Devourers. To make a long story short, he made Grell that could do the "brain replacement" thing that Intellect Devourers could do. But it didn't work quite right, because grell are so much bigger than our skulls theyd teleport in and immediately pop the head of the poor victim. I lost a good character to that. And I'm frankly still kinda salty.

@@AJPickett oh shit, speaking of mr kenreck; what do you think of his new creation and very good boy, the Bagman? I know it’s a totally brand new creature as of Van Richtens guide, and thus there is not much more out there to be had on it, but i would love to see your take on it, I know damn well you could expand on what’s available already most sastisfactorily. Especially because I’ve listened to the episode you made ages back in which were discussed your very own sort of bag of holding inhabitants/internal planes etc. (almost makes me wonder if he and Meghan took some inspiration from you? I’m sure he knows of your channel...) in fact when I first saw the Bagman and read a little about what he was, I immediately thought of you and that video from what feels like so long ago now. I know I certainly borrowed some concepts from you on that for my players, which ended up disrupting everything most spectacularly. =] butnyeah. If you’re inclined to do a video on the Bagman I’d love to see it. I’m not on your patron just yet, although i did throw in for your kickstarter. I did it without requesting you send me any of the products because I just wanted to help without draining your resources, but I’m now regretting my decision in retrospect because they look dope...so maybe that counts as an acceptable substitute for a patreon request? Please please please don’t feel pressured to do a whole video on it, it’s absolutely not necessary. You’re a busy man these days, and your time is worth a great deal, I should think. Should be. It is to me at least. I must voice that this is not meant to be construed as an attempt at leveraging you for anything, in fact I feel somewhat awkward for even mentioning the Kickstarter thing, but I do want you to know that I appreciate you and what you do enough to feel a compelling urge to contribute. I’d be more than happy to just chat with you about it via email or something if that would alleviate any time shortages you may be experiencing. if you do happen to find that you have the time and interest to do so, it would be lovely, but if not I’ll be just as happy with whatever content you release. =]

If i wanted to play a half dragon cleric who has a more human face and uses a sword and shield could it work? And what gods would be good to serve? Im thinking a war or destruction type of god that stretches lawful good

You don't have to be the same alignment as the god you worship in D&D... you could be a lawful good cleric of Bane if you want to.

@@lord_viper_amk5155 You wanted a god that would stretch the lawful good cleric, well there it is, Bane represents control, order, conquest and war, it is entirely possible to play a lawfully aligned character who works for the church of Bane, the good or evil nature of a character? The gods literally do not give two shits about that, otherwise, no faith would ever take on the mission of converting and fixing people, look around you, churches gravitate toward people who have problems in life, the poor, the ex-addicts, ex-convicts, etc, etc. Churches of Bane operate legitimate organisations in towns and cities, nobody is standing at the door with a detect good and evil spell at the ready.. ordinary people pray to Bane all the time. You can be a human cleric of Moradin or Corellon, you can even be a human worshipper of Gruumsh!

Devoid of blood, taken from a corpse, yes. It's neurological tissue. Brain matter tat's splattered all over the place, leaking its blood, is grey. Fun fact, steaks and pork chops you buy from the store, without the red dye, would also be a sickly borderline grey color. To slow that meat from going bad, not only does it have all the blood drained out, but red-dyed and augmented water replaces that. Well, it gives a nice color indicator for those who look at meat color to determine if it's cooked or not. Bones are also pink until special blood purging things are done, and they aren't actually white until specially treated.

In my last campaign I used a Grell as the brood mother of a hive of wild intellect devourers that were infesting a portal nexus deep in the underdark the look on my players faces when I described the grell hovering/climbing down out of the hole in the ceiling in the second round of combat was priceless

The Flesh Dimension kind of sounds like other world in Silent Hill. Honestly I've had a concept for Silent Hill's other would in DnD what I call the Fleshvale, it's like the Shadowvale that reflects the prime world but covers things in flesh and mutations that reflect the people around them. Fleshvale would be the place where Prime and Flesh dimensions meet. So it possible to travel into the Fleshvale then travel from there into the Flesh dimension. I also have concepts for things like Icevale and Firevale. Firevale for example is a place where Prime and Fire planes meet looks like the Prime dimension but on everything you know is on fire or fire warped and people have like fire shadows of themselves turning into a genasi clone once someone crosses into the Firevale.

It has occurred to me that you seem to have a frightening interest in krang,as you have mentioned it in many of your recent videos. Don't think that hasn't gone unnoticed, and with your strong inclination toward Palladium games, and in particular the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles role playing game, I'm starting to wonder.... is AJ Pickett, in fact....KRANG???#rockthedrome
