A Noble has CR 1/8 - weaker than a mule, easier to kill than a bandit. The problem isn't killing them. The problem is what happens after. This entry explores Nobles as systemic threats whose real power comes from resources, connections, and consequences your party can't fight with swords. Plus the Noble Prodigy: what happens when you add 5th-level spells to inherited wealth and political power.

Monthly Monster Mashup 9: Empyreans + Seahorse
An Empyrean - child of a god, reshaper of reality - has been transformed into a seahorse with 1 HP and an attitude problem.

Three scenarios for putting god-children and seahorses in the same adventure, all of them ridiculous and wonderful.
