  • Well… the elves were the first awake sentient beings in middle earth. Before Illuvatar confronted Aulë about the dwarves they were essentially just bodies without proper minds, they couldn’t do anything without him controlling them. I would argue that they weren’t sentient. When Illuvatar granted Aulë’s wish to grant them the secret fire he also put them to sleep, because elves were supposed to be the first-born and first non-ainur in the world.

    Who was actually the first sentient race could be argued either way to me, since the dwarves were techically there first in body but weren’t awakened to actually act as sentient creatures until after the elves had roamed the world for a bit.

    All this is from memory, so apologies for any errors.

















  • That is an outrageous creature. +10 stealth so you’re not spotting it, which means it’s gonna have advantage on at least one attack so it’s likely to hit you, which means it crits you, which means you need to succeed on a DC 15 str save or you lose a limb. Str is often a dump stat for any character that doesn’t use it to attack, so that’s like 75% fail rate for most characters.

    Not to mention that if you do lose a limb to it, you need some damn high level magic to get it back.
