From a worldbuilding perspective, are there other things that might occupy the downtime concentration of those (hopefully few) artificers, bards, druids and wizards that progress to third-level and beyond and that know/can prepare Skywrite?

While standing on the ice sheet, swimming or from dockside or from inside the floating or somehow flying or precariously perched vessel?

Who knows the DC when the warship is of "indescript material, location, and size" :ROFLMAO:

Getting back to the OP: As per instruction, I'm imagining: DM (after a dice roll): The room in which you find yourself contains a vase. Player: I smash the vase on the floor. Now, from the player's perspective, this is "an object of indescript material, location, and size" but solely because...

You were discussing a case where: so yes, before the players (hopefully) made their plans clear, they were unclear. However: or something like that, even though it hadn't been previously clear that they had intended to smash the vase, when they finally stated it, that was the vase drop moment.

Love this, as long as players are happy. I'd just have fears that, is scores are falling in S,D,C,I,W,Ch order, a player, who say, was or wasn't happy to play a high or low charisma character might not be happy with their lot. I was thinking to let players either swap two of their scores...

In many situations, Skywrite may be the spell that might best help characters get certain things done. In most situations, other spells would be better options to stop adventuresome characters from getting done. Skywrite, if it exists in a world, would certainly have an effect on how that...

Maybe I've over-interpreted but that's what struck me from ideas like: A world built by a GM with his/her energies may not always fit the central drives of the players' energies at every stage in the same way as the energies of one player may not perfectly fit the energies of another.

But, for each GM, you are you. I guess that there may be a spectrum of possibilities (if there is any difference in views) between you presenting your world in your naturally preferred way and you tailoring it in accordance with your players' desires. You also need to have fun and, as long as...

I agree. A lot of the views presented here seem to me to smack of GM metagaming. The idea, of building worlds around the characters, isn't bad but it isn't, even by D&D standards, so realistic. Normally you find yourself in a situation and make the best of it in line with your personal...

Baring tropes of characters being foreseen to (potentially) have great destinies and similar, in a world of able actors, not realistically. On start-up level, my thoughts is to begin at least at 2nd level but that's mainly to allow potentially multiclassing players to start with both that...

I'm mainly a returning to ttrpg player (very occasional but returning GM) and what you seem to be taking on would terrify me. I can't think of a campaign setting that I have seen that has started from a having had a recent history of war context. Most campaigns start in a contexts like...

I think that this is really key and, depending on the avenues of world-building taken, a potential shortage in spell casters could fall drastically short of a potential desire for messaging. Especially in worlds where there may be a shortage of spell casters, I think that there'd be an increased...

You're the first GM I can remember who has used the spell, 🏆, but I think it could be used often by both the bad and the ~good guys. For instance, if a party got out of line, there might be fear of a message being puffed such as: ~"Killers loose: halfling bard, human fighter, half-elf, oppose or...

Thank you, and this is also the duration present in the physical books. It seems that Wikidot did not accurately present its source. I'll edit that prior claim. (y) I also think I was wrong about being able to keep a previous skywritten message active while ritually casting a subsequent...
