  • So much potential!

    Jump

  • I'd say it gets you the exhaustion, but as long as you do not actively mess up the wording the spell will work, since it’s specifically said that the spell can be used to do that so it should be able to do so consistently.

  • Better don’t give martials any weapons and casters no spellcasting then…

  • Not in my presence at least. I'm moreso mocking the meme format, as people keep using it whenever someone brings up that their build only works with thing x. I've seen it with free feats, smites, 1 level dips, specific feats, magic items, …

    Some of those takes were reasonable. Some were not. And while the format was made to criticise overreliance on one thing, I feel like it’s sometimes used too easily. Relying on an abilities is not bad in itself. Some builds only work because of abilities. And while it’s fair to bring up that it’s a bit one dimensional, that doesn’t invalidate the build.

  • I'm afraid I never played the module. What’s down there?

  • Because of some comments I got under my last post…

  • Pretty much, yes. I also think it’s not necessary for characters not to become better in all abilities even as the game goes on, but I generally like that characters typically continue to have weaknesses as they level up. Th unfortunate part is that those weaknesses are a lot less punishing for some classes then for other.

  • Yes. And RAI means „rules as intended“. The technical interpretation of those words seems very much unintended.

  • How did it come to that?

  • I really like this approach. I'd say few dungeons are really places of inner conflict though, since that usually either resolves itself quickly by one side winning or fleeing, because few people like to have a potential rival as a direct neighbor. But of course, there are exceptions and even dungeons belonging to a single faction should feel like the monsters are actually alive.

    Jump

  • Yes. That's the point. But you don't need rule of cool for this. You just need to use at least a single braincell to apply RAI.

  • Definetly. Though some role-players might find it annoying that it creates the impression that your character just eventually becomes decent at everything.

  • I think I don't get the "plausible deniability" thing.

    Great comic by the way. I just read up some things about Durnan and was really happy to see him here.

  • Turns out when you start spying on NPCs, they start spying on you too.

  • First Pete Complete now Ahdok. Why is everyone getting married these days?

  • Those RAW-discussions are just gifts that keep on giving!

    Jump

  • Okay I didn’t even consider those two. I don’t get how casting it one more time after you fail would help though, it why failing would help in general.

  • Only if they somehow got access to the spell.

  • Or that. I think it stills leaves room for Shenanigans though.

    Jump

  • Ah I see. But farfetched, but I get it.

    Jump

  • Hm. Then I don’t see the connection to this meme. Maybe I’m just stupid though.

  • Those RAW-discussions are just gifts that keep on giving!

    Jump

  • Ah I see. I was talking 2014, but yeah the means you have to make use of some other loopholes.

    Jump

  • The problem is that you only roll once they leave the feywild. Up to that point time between the two planes works in sync. You effectively just time travel when leaving depending on the result of your roll.

  • Good one. I also noticed that this version of imprisonment makes you immune against every instance of the spell for 24 hours. So a paranoid BBEG might just have underlings (like some divination wizards) to buff the hell out of them in the morning, then use something like another servant or a glyph of warding to trigger a casting of the spell to make themselves immune for the day. Incredibly unnecessary, but very funny.

    But yes I think "high likelihood" really makes what was a situational spell into a very boring spell to use for players. You’re better off just killing the target now, as killing them permanently is more reliable.
