The sacred statue doesn’t have a CR. The eidolon does.

Mordenkainen Tome of Foes
Can you use the Feral Variant from SCAG on the variants in Mordenkainen?
@JeremyECrawford Can you use the Feral Variant from SCAG on the variants in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes?

To use the tiefling variants in the "Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide" you need to (a) be a tiefling and (b) have the DM's permission to use them. #DnD https://t.co/gqCIpvFJY5

Why don’t the Cadaver Collector, Eladrin, Skull Lord, Sorrowsworn, Steel Predator… have save proficiencies?
@mikemearls @JeremyECrawford @ChrisPerkinsDnD Why don't the Cadaver Collector, Eladrin, Skull Lord, Sorrowsworn, Steel Predator, Super-Trolls, and many others have save proficiencies? All of the above are Cr 10+, so they should have them.
— Gabriel Russell (@Souperplex) June 11, 2018
No rule requires monsters to have saving throw proficiencies. See "Saving Throws" in the "Monster Manual" (p. 8) for more information. #DnD https://t.co/5dPKeiq5YJ

Leviathan damage
Max damage is a good way to handle weak high-CR monsters but the leviathan still would only do 25 damage when maxed. It should be like 40 to 60 if you ask me. It has a picture of it crushing a boat as its monster image. https://t.co/ARh15h6IWi pic.twitter.com/O035ovHRtV

Granted, I’m completely ignoring the big-ass water wave which does a bunch of ongoing damage over rounds. I bet that’s why it has the damage output it does, but when I think of this huge leviathan having a slam attack, 20 damage doesn’t seem thematically right. 40 does. Challenge rating is a holistic measure. Applying it to isolated parts of a stat block is a sure way to drive yourself crazy.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) May 19, 2018
Even just isolating that one leviathan slam attack though, it’s gargantuan but is about this same as a great club. Shouldn’t it be 4d10 to account for the gargantuan size? There is no rule for such things. The rule is that the monster as a whole needs to justify its challenge rating.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) May 19, 2018
Ah. I thought size denotes damage dice. A fire giant with a greatsword does 6d6 for example because it’s two sizes larger than a normal greatsword. 1d10 just seems small for a gargantuan. Thanks for weighing in! I still love the book. This is small nitpicking.
— SlyFlourish (@SlyFlourish) May 19, 2018
That’s for weapons. Doesn’t follow for natural attacks. Those increases are only for weapons. And the increase is an option for the monster designer, not a requirement.

I have the luxury of referring to Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes (I'm finishing it now), but you'll have to wait until May. 🤓
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) February 3, 2018
When I think Multiverse I think of Oerth, Krynn, and Athas. How do these fit in and when might we see some source material for those like we got for Ravenloft? Three of the sections mentioned in my previous tweet talk about those very worlds. Take a look! 😃

So, where the Sigil is?
— Oi! Leontev! (@o_leontev) February 4, 2018
Chapter 2 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide, “Creating a Multiverse,” has a section on Sigil, the City of Doors. #DnD https://t.co/AbMgpJSfgL

Shadar Kai die and are resurrected in the Shadowfell by the Raven Queen. Does this apply to Shadar Kai PC’s?
MTOF states that Shadar Kai who die are resurrected in the Shadowfell by the Raven Queen. Does this apply to Shadar Kai PC’s? typically, yes. though the process can take as much or as little time as the DM likes, as per the inscrutable desires of the Raven Queen

Can’t stop laughing at the hilarious Disclaimer in Mordenkainen’s Tome Of Foes
Glad you like it! I chuckled quite a bit when I wrote it.
