FF affects all creatures in an area and shows invisible creatures. Blindness is single target(unless level boosted), CON save, and save each round to remove effect. Other than the advantage to attack the target, they are radically different spells and used in radically different ways. That...

I was thinking the same thing. I mean, I think the eyesight is a good part of it, but being expose to daylight (even through clouds or reflections) is just plain painful to the drow, and thus part of the reason they have disadvantaged checks. Another thing for the goggle idea . . . if they...

Because they have it too?

Don't put words in my mouth. It is distasteful and only further proves how weak and pathetic your argument is. But here goes. I just got done running the above adventure with my group. 0 townsfolk deaths 1 mind flayer dead 0 PC deaths Lessons learned: smart players know how to play Yah, now...

Polish a turd all you want, it is still a turd. I don't need to find a turd and polish it just to prove what yours is. What evidence would suffice? That I run the same scenario? I dont need to. I can show my players this thread and they too would laugh their asses off. The 'givens' by the above...

You didn't have a bard, you had a triple classed character with some bard levels whose healing was nothing compared to an 18th level cleric. In a one off game with nothing but combat? Why not? Or play the cleric yourself, and just the other players make plot/progression decisions. I can't...

No cleric? Come on! Give me a party of 4 please, one of each core class (fighter, cleric, wizard, rogue) and they destroy the town easily. Second, give them magic items deserving of 18th level characters. According to your list, they have magic items on par with an entire town. This is a group...

So basically if the party wants to heal uber damage in combat, someone is stuck being a life cleric.

I thought of another way to abuse this spell, but it requires 2 spellcasters with the spell, a portable hole, and lots of gems. Mass transportation. Sneak into vault/dragons lair. Spellcaster A uses Sending to send message to Spellcaster B to have laborers jump into portable hole, then fold it...

The name is invisible. And you must speak the name while casting the spell. So not only do the PCs have to know that the gems aren't normal gems, but they have to find a way to read invisible writing. True Seeing?

None of those builds really counter the above statements. Goodberry is clearly out of combat healing, which is not exactly hard to come by as you mentioned. Granted if you don't have time for a short rest, you could spend what little time you have chugging down berries. The Aura of Vitality...

Complete Handbook of Kobolds On store shelves in January . . .

Maybe Commune or Contact other Plane. Or the PCs would just have to dig around for maybe a journal, letters, etc where the caster might mention the name of the item. I certainly wouldn't allow a spell lower than 5th to glean any info.

Portable hole filled with backup weapons, armor, spell books, scrolls, wands, kits, tools, etc. Put it in a small lead watertight box, toss into large body of water for safekeeping. Every few levels, summon it, replace with better items, drop back in a new place.

Can you guys delete you posts and start your own thread? Maybe provide a link to it as an example? edit: And frankly, if you want to make it interesting, the party should be 4 characters, let actual players make the characters, and see how low level the players can be and still win. Notice I...

So you have 30 years of gaming experience, most of it as a mage, and yet you are valuing the usefulness of Hold Person in 5E on one portion of one adventure? Is this a joke or are you trolling us? I seriously can't tell. Hold Person isn't fundamentally different in 5E compared to any other...

I wish you and others would stop doing this. The majority of creatures in a game world are humanoid. Just cause the MM has a large variety of non-humanoid creatures, does not mean you will encounter a large number of them. How many Otyugh is your character ever going to see? Treants? Xorn...

So do it yourself? I still don't understand why people make threads like this. It is like saying "I dare you to go change the oil in my car in less than twenty minutes" just so you can get someone else to do the work for you. If you want to know so bad, then do it. If you don't believe other...

And this is why it is a poor example for discussing CR/XP. An intellect devourer isn't just going to be standing there waiting for the party to show up, then leap up at one of them to attack. Duh, of course it would get squished. The reason for its CR is not due to its AC/HP/Atk, it is due to...

I have no idea how the PCs survived the encounter in the OP. Short of having surprise, perfect tactics, and incredibly lucky rolls it should have been a wipe.
