[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8853333, member: 57383"] Incidentally, the barrier blocking line of sight may cause difficulties with the Chthon's control of its minions, since. My idea was the chthon would normally just order its beasts to "kill the humans" and if they went out of its eyesight then it'd just wait until the screaming stopped. If it needed to change its orders and the creature's already gone it must use its telepathic Call to get them to return and receive new instructions. However that'd be unworkable if the chthon is surrounded by dense vegetation that blocks its view so I'm know thinking its ability to issue orders should not require line-of-sight. How about modify that to basically match the format of the [I]message[/I] spell. [INDENT]If a controlled beast or plant is within 120 feet of the chthon, it can send telepathic orders the creature follows to the best of its natural ability. These telepathic messages don't have to follow a straight line and can travel freely around corners and through openings, but cannot pass through solid barriers of wood, stone, or metal.[/INDENT] Is that OK by you?
