I imagine Autumnal Damage would be similar to winter arriving in Bone, but with falling leaves.
Oh wow I haven’t thought about bone in… Over 10 years at least
Man, I need to read Bone.
Because no one else is doing it, I’m going to take the hit. Feather Fall in D&D 5e prevents falling damage, not fall damage. Sorry to ruin the pun, but someone had to.
You did not successfully ruin the pun, as it has been made clear it does not live or die by the Ing.
However, you did ruin the mood. I banish you to a lower tier.
Hey, at least 16 people enjoyed my contribution, and I think I got some down votes so more than that. I think I did fine. Also, banishment only lasts for 1 minute, so I’m back.
Are you sure you’re native to this plane, rather than Mechanus?
The English language still backs it up. If you fall, you are falling. Simply because there is an ing missing from the text of a thing not said in the joke doesn’t mean that the joke doesn’t work. On top of that there’s the whole part of how the DM is God in a game, not the DMG or the rule book.
You didn’t ruin anything. Just weirdly pedantic for no reason
Can someone explain?
Another word for the season of Autumn is Fall.
Thus, the DM is about to make a pun about Fall damage. The player of the bard notices the incoming pun, takes defensive action via casting a counter-pun spell, and thus prevents a table full of groaning and moaning, and possibly even laughter.
Laughter from a pun like this is a rare thing, a charisma check of 19 with disadvantage.
More like charisma save, DC 0
We’re D&D players, we all have a -1 at most
They entered into fall, so the bard prevented fall damage by using feather fall.
Technically they also prevented mental damage to the players from the pun
Fall damage
Leaves fall, everyone dies
and brother, i hurt people
Sadly there are many such cases.
