D&D 5E 20th level Sorcerer vs the world

[Hohige]

Clarification on the positions made me realize that the sorcerer was within reach during this turn through DDD. The DM clarified that.

No, of course, you haven't changed your tactics.
"So I can easily dimension door in the air, 240 ft above the sorcerer and cast crown of madness. I am not changing my plan."
You are at 240ft as you said.
Expending your last Sorcery Point.

My turn?

His "plan" was to cast Crown of Madness at you one way or another. I further explained the positions to him, whereupon he decided that he would in fact teleport right next to you. Check the timestamps, his final decision was to teleport immediately adjacent to you.

As the DM, I allow players to modify what they are doing if they realize they did not understand the layout correctly and do not play 'too bad, so sad, womp womp' adjudication. I have afforded the same leniency to you. Your turn, you've already used your action.

The casts on air at 240ft. It was clear.

Hahahahah, it was clear that when it went wrong, the DM will try to interfere ahahahah. I expect nothing more than that.

Explaining the locations and distances of enemies to a player who has misunderstood them in order for that player to choose what he does is a normal part of gameplay. It is not "interference." I earlier ruled in your favor when you clarified how you were using Distant Dimension Door.

You failed a save. You have a variety of options at your disposal. Your action isn't one of them. There is currently a Yuan-Ti right next to you, and one about 400' above the ground, falling through the sky.

Galandris specifies, 240ft on air casting Distant Crown of Madness. Just like the Simulacrum did.
That is.
"So I can easily dimension door in the air, 240 ft above the sorcerer and cast crown of madness. I am not changing my plan."
My action is available.

This is Galandris' last post on the matter:

OK. That's how I saw it in my theater of mind. Since the range is 980 ft, and I find it hilarious, I DD right next to the Sorcerer (range is 1,000 ft) to cast Crown of Madness. I mentally order him to attack me with his hands.

I am the DM, not you. You have no right to insist I stop adjudicating on some prior post that favors you. I continued to clarify the distances, and this was his final decision on what do. You have no action.

He changed his tactics because he saw it went wrong. Accept defeat.

[fearsomepirate]

To be quite honest, if a single failed save against Crown of Madness with an enemy adjacent to you isn't something you can handle, you don't have an "unbeatable" build.

"So I can easily dimension door in the air, 240 ft above the sorcerer and cast crown of madness. I am not changing my plan."

He changed his tactics because he saw he made an error about the distances involved, an error that wouldn't have happened if we had maps & minis. When adjudicating ToTM, I have to be lenient about explaining distances. By the way, you don't defeat a DM. You could still pull this out.

Are you able to do anything worthwhile?
