It didn't require a certain spell to do it though it was ALL illusion spells. You could use a major image to create an elemental, etc. Any spell would cause effects on the victims as if it were real unless they disbelieved it.

Thought I might add a real life example that might be more relatable than soldiers. I'm a 145 lb highschool student of about average strength, though possibly a tiny bit more than average. So 10-12 strength in D&D terms. I use a 50lb backpack for school (I don't have a locker and carry a fair...

I've never played an illusionist myself but from my DM who's older than myself and has played with them he said you could do things like make a pit and people will think they actually fell in taking 'damage' (and if it's enough to kill them they had to make a con save or die from a heart attack...

I was exaggerating some to make a point. Using exact math yes it would be. Fortunately as you create more you can remember and get the feeling of how some things are so that the time span is measured in months as opposed to eons. The point was that it is not some easy snap of the finger thing to...

Where are you getting that from?

I'm not saying to give your players every magic item in the game, I'm saying if you want to make a list with the prices of all the magic items it's exponentially more difficult. Also it would be that diificult because with each new item you have to judge and compare with everything else. If you...

Where are you getting that I 6000 from? Are they all the same item? What sort of prices are for other items comparatively. How rare would this item be in general? Should it be rarer or more common based on the region you're in. What sort of effect could this have on the campaign? Also you...

One solution I recently came up with for this is having the price off by a percent of its price rolled at random. I haven't put it into use yet but I'm planning on it next time I have a meet. It's a little complicated but take 3d10 of one color which you assign as positive and 3d10 negative...

Making one magic item with no context? Sure that's easy but when you add in all the other items in the game it becomes exponentially harder. Two items- twice as hard. Three items four times as hard. Even ignoring all the mundane things in the game there's still maybe 200 magic items. That means...

A while ago while randomly scrolling through spells I saw this and WTFed. Just to see how powerful this spell is I decided to calculate how much damage it would do if there was a creature in every 5' square hit (maybe its used against an advancing army). The AVERAGE damage to if they all failed...

Have you have ever tried to actually create a good balanced in depth system for a game? Especially for one as free and open as D&D it is an incredible amount of work. Let's say you are quite devoted to the task and spend 4 hours a day on it. In a few MONTHS of work you might be able to cover the...

Are you still in touch? 'Cause right now I'm incredibly curious on what that would be.

Not as extreme aw some peoples stories but 7-8 years ago I was playing a 3.0 game in which grits were rolled to confirm and additive not multiplicative (crit means double damage, double crit means triple damage, etc.) I was playing a sorcerer somewhere between 5-7th level. I hit a creature with...

Getting back to the earlier idea of characters that are against the flow of the group I recently started in a campaign in which I (secretly) play a cn rogue with the cover of being a merchant who is with the group to take some of the less standard treasures adventurers might leave behind (I.e...

What about shooting to blind someone/something, while it does not happen often sometimes when my party gets in a fight we people have made aimed shots at the eyes in order to blind them (for example single shot to blind cyclops) how would you rule that? Another example is a friend of mine was...

I agree this is could also work, I've read through comments on how people are already trying to aim their shots but to me the attacks are just trying to hit ANYTHING of the person (body arm leg whatever) and crits are when you happen to be lucky and there's an opening that's particularly vital...

The problem with that is: what if they are ranged and the enemies have no way to hit there's no real penalty. Also what sort of chart are you thinking, a hit chart? or some sort of chart for severity? Atleast in previous additions they had a system in which it'd be a penalty to hit based on...

influx caused lower market price One other thing to keep in mind is that if there is this mine with tons of mithral here, the huge influx of mithral will cause the market price of it to plummet. IMHO I think the market price of mithral within a region around this mine would actually be lower...
