Slivers!

[Ormsbygore]

I've been working on a 5e Sliver Supplement. My progress has grown a bit stagnant as of late. So I wanted to share what I've got with a new audience.

I haven't read through them all yet, but I noticed there are a few older threads about slivers from past editions.

I'll get right to the contents. I've got 48 slivers fleshed out and ready for a fight, mostly classics with a few new ones and a couple that are unique to D&D. I've broken them down into 4 categories Lesser (CR 1/4 - 2), Evolved (CR 1 - 4), Greater (CR 12 - 30), and Construct (CR 1 - 12).

I still have a TON to work on.

Let me know what you guys think. (Spreading out posts, cause it's been forever since I posted here...and don't have enough to post a link to the Doc yet)
