Are you referring to the "rigid" caste order? Yes, it is contradictory, but that's what is contained in the official DnD material. I guess it should be a mystery. Perhaps the article should make this explicit? Kimera757 03:49, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
"Because Slaadi are supposed to be the embodiment of Chaos, the Spawning Stone could in theory spawn a Sladd with any kind of trait or power. Those two Slaad Lords (forget names) feared this meant a Slaad More powerful than them might spawn one day so they tampered with it to restrict the possible Slaad that could spawn." That might expalain things a bit.
In one of the 3E or 3.5 edition monster manuals there are stats for the part slaad versions of tieflings and aasimar - has anyone seen it explained how these creatures come about? Since the slaad reproduce as they do with egg-laying, what species can crossbreed with them?
The article contains the following weasel wording:
These sentences should be deleted in my view. --Gavin Collins (talk) 11:19, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
The article states that the Slaadi were originally published in a "Fiend Factory" article in White Dwarf. However, the reference cited does not state this. In the interview in the reference, Charles Stross states that he was asked to publish the Githyanki in White Dwarf, which they were, in White Dwarf #12 (April/May 1979). Nowhere does he state that he published the Slaadi in White Dwarf, and in fact, he did not. I have reviewed every Fiend Factory article published prior to the publication of the 1981 Fiend Folio, and cannot find an entry for Slaad. Nor are they listed in a compiled index of "Fiend Factory" monsters. I don't have a source to conclusively say that the Fiend Folio is where they were first published, but at the very least there is no evidence that they were ever published in a "Fiend Factory" column or elsewhere in White Dwarf, citation notwithstanding. -- Knag (talk) 03:43, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
