Elden Ring's biggest bosses have been turned into playable D&D monsters

techradar.com:

Elden Ring’s most notorious bosses have made their way to D&D, as one fan has created a suite of fully-fledged monster stat blocks based on FromSoftware’s action RPG.

An Elden Ring fan has converted the game's six demigods (a group of particularly powerful bosses) into usable tabletop monsters, complete with stat blocks that reflect their in-game abilities and attacks. Redditor u/Yrolc95(opens in new tab) has created pages for Malenia, Godrick, Radahn, Mohg, Rykard, and Morgott, with their stats, actions, and abilities calculated to use in D&D 5E combat. 

Malenia, for example, can use her Waterfowl Dance to leap into the air and perform four slashing attacks while dashing forward. Her passive Draining Attack ability, meanwhile, lets her regain HP from melee attacks, while two Legendary Actions – Quick Charge and Quick Retreat – mimic her nimble fighting style.

Rykard’s God-devouring Serpent has similarly been designed to imitate the boss fight of the video game. He’s got a slate of Resistances and Immunities, is surrounded by a magma pit, and can swallow players whole. Godrick the Grafted is the weakest of the monsters, but is still able to attach a whole dragon’s head onto his severed limbs.

The D&D stat blocks have even been designed to replicate the second stages of the Elden Ring bosses. Whittle Malenia down to zero HP, and she’ll unlock two new Mythic Actions – Phantom Spirits which lets you generate four spectral copies of her, and Scarlet Aeonia which has her divebomb opponents before creating a giant exploding flower.

While we can’t vouch for the balance of the stat blocks – some of the attack damage looks pretty high to our eyes – they’re certainly a loving tribute to what have become some of the most recognizable
