D&D 5E (2014) SUNBEAN spell affects the DROW ?

[maritimo80]

A Spell Sunbean the wizard released tonight at Drow, affects the same? I mean intolerance sunlight.

 

[iserith]

The spell, sunbeam, affects drow with sunlight sensitivity because the light from sunbeam is sunlight.

Sunbeans, on the other hand, just give drow gas.

 

[DaveDash]

Yes.

I have a player who is a Drow Wizard who casts it on other martial Drow in the underdark. He doesn't care about disadvantage while they certainly do.

 

[GlobeOfDankness]

not if the drow counterspells with blade shades.

 

[SirAntoine]

They took magic resistance away from the drow. That is obviously for balance, as they see it, but it's really depriving the drow.

Any chance we could cut somebody a little slack as this may not be their primary language?

of course, a length of understanding is important in matters like this. i'm sure he'd have some funny comments on my spanish. the problem isn't actually arising from his english competency, it's coming from his forum etiquette which exists in any language. the benefit of a great site like this is the interaction with other fans of the hobby. instead of pouring over the books or sifting through google results, you can have helpful people give you tailored answers as well as personal stories and lessons gleaned from playing the game.

there aren't any english translations of the game, so i'm guessing he can read english at the level of the books are written at. this is more than enough comprehension to not act like an entitled robot when dealing with us fine folk. i love talking about gaming, but maritimeo really doesn't make any effort to be part of the community besides fishing it for easily found answers. it's natural to rush the the defense of someone you perceive as being treated unfairly, but respect is a two way street =].

That being said, i have nothing against maritimeo, i'm merely pointing out why some of his threads get a little irreverent sometimes. once his question has been answered to his satisfaction, he disappears without a word of thanks.
