Episode Synopsis

In this episode of 8-bit Monsters' Monster Deconstruction for D&D 5e we look over the Giant Frog and how it's bite IS as bad as it's... hop? This beast was a fun one to break down as it introduces the concept of the grapple/restrict mechanic and how it factors into the final CR of the beast. The fascinating part of the bite/grapple is how it works and heavily depends on the size of the target it's biting to allow further disrupting of the players plans. Come listen and see how this Giant Frog deconstructs!

The idea of this podcast is to break monsters down into their bare components: DCR & OCR. These two values will allow us to see how strong they are and to see where D&D got the CR values from. I'm doing this because all too often, players skip right to level 3 to avoid the hell levels and possibly end up dead. Generally, each monster is a balancing act that isn't equal to the final value.
If you like what you hear and want to see this process in a visual medium. Then come stop by my YouTube channel and watch the magic in action. There will be extras not present here in the podcast.
