Conjure celestial 5e11/28/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() This does gate the amount of spells your serpentine servant gets, but at this point do you really care? An important rule for couatls is that spellcasting, even in monster stat blocks like priests and druids, is considered a class feature. You have access to every sense, every kind of speed, and every size up to huge at your disposal, all of which can be swapped between as an action, all while still being on a creature with more spell options than is reasonably fair. Weretigers and other lycanthropes stand out as excellent combatants, and sometimes you just need a killer whale in a pinch. You are also getting access to every CR 4 or lower humanoid and beast at will. ![]() When you summon a couatl, you aren’t just getting access to a 13th level full character’s worth of spells, you aren’t just getting access to a 24 AC tank with damage immunities, you aren’t just getting access to a bite attack that can permanently remove threats every round from a fight. Short of a barrage of saves (which it has huge mods for in each anyway), the chances of your couatl being consistently hit and brought down are laughable.Īt this point you might be thinking “Wow, that’s crazy broken! How can it possibly get better?” Let me introduce you to Change Shape. If you started to worry about it dying, don’t! Couatls have immunity to non-magical bludgeoning, slashing, and piercing damage, an AC of 19 (24 with shield), and a fat 97 HP that need to be chewed through to take it down. If you’d rather have a restraining option, look no further than constrict which is a helpful little grapple that auto restrains on success! In combat, its bite can knock anything it damages unconscious for up to a full freaking day. Most player characters don’t come with that level of magical prowess, and this is all for a single 7th level spell slot. It speaks all languages (functionally Comprehend Languages at will), and can chat telepathically with anything within 120 feet of it. It has true sight stapled onto it, making it functionally act as 6th level spell for the duration, true sight. Sure, the spell list is narrow, but the quantity of options this opens up to you is ludicrous. You are getting unlimited casts of detection spells and the equivalent of nine extra 1st level spell slots, six extra 2nd level spell slots, two extra 3rd level spell slots, and three extra 5th level spell slots. It can at will cast Detect Evil and Good, Detect Magic, and Detect Thoughts, three times per summon cast Bless, Create Food and Water, Cure Wounds, Lesser Restoration, Protection from Poison, and Shield, and once per day cast Greater Restoration, Dream, and Scrying. ![]() Let’s start with just the spells a couatl comes with. I can’t believe it has the same CR as an elephant the next time you replace your cleric with a couatl, keep in mind that rules as written it is supposedly as challenging as Dumbo is without the ear wings. This review could literally double as a review for the couatl. The majority of the time you’ll summon a winged serpent friend who breaks any semblance of game balance in half. You can up-cast it to get a Unicorn as a 9th level spell which can be fine, but the unicorn and pegasus can’t compete with their CR 4 snake brother. Review by Sam West, Twitter: Celestial, or as it should be known, Conjure Couatl, exists as a means of getting a couatl or pegasus on your team. ![]()
