[Cleon]

Well, I still prefer the usual "Death Throes" name after all that.

Well so long as the "Death Throes" is after "Explosive" I won't mind.

Show of hands, then? "Explosive" or not?

Raises hand.

Boom! Explosive Death Throes.

I'm keeping my hand on the pressure plate so it doesn't become "Explosive".

 

[freyar]

I have to say that I'm with Shade on this one. Sorry, Cleon, you can add "explosive" in your own special version.

It'll become explosive as soon as Shade takes his hand off the pressure plate, since I've wired it to multiple meteor swarms.

Ahh, but I've secretly cast Bigby's eternal pressing hand, surrounded by an orcload of nonexplosive runes.

Ah, but I secretly watched your secret casting and double-secretly cast my secret Epic anti-Shade counterspell on the trap.

 

[Shade]

My spells are tenacious.

Updated.

Shade has the special moderator-level counterspelling ability. You know that's beyond epic, right?

Put the ranks into Tumble? That seems spidery. I think we have to put Ability Focus (death throes) in there, unless we're giving that ability a racial bonus.
