Message: <blockquote data-quote="Antarx" data-source="post: 7034968" data-attributes="member: 6699371">Well, I was talking about magical darkness, casted on myself in melee . If I remember correctly, almost all the characters on the party are humans (for the bonus feat, I suppose) so they will have disadvantage on melee attacks even in normal darkness, and the ranged characters will be unable to attack creatures within the darkness sphere. Disadvantage for allies and enemies alike, except for me... mmm... well. It's a interesting backup plan, but I'll probably get better final results buffing my party instead on. As you said, there are better spells out there.Aside all of this, all of this is not (at least, entirely) my dms fault.  I don't share my Dm's decision, but I understand it. The rules are (unnecessarily) unclear about some things. Specific trumps general, but nowhere over the invocations descriptions it says that the repelling blast is a specific scenario in terms of saving throws. Also, as my dm says, a single lvl 2 warlock can dismount from his horse another lvl 20 character without any defensive roll (aside of the roll to hit). Or will the invocation move both the rider and the mount? It will be different if the rider rides a magic carpet? Nobody knows for sure, because because he rules are just condensed in 3 poorly defined lines, leaving "everything else" at the GMs hand. He had the final word about what is supposed to do in those scenarios... and he make his decision. I think that he is wrong, but at least, I can say that he is fair: He changed the rule, and he allowed me to redo my character in consequence. I can accept that.I believe that WotC is trying to avoid pinching their fingers again with RAW and rules lawyers as in past editions, but, really, It will cost they nothing to add a few lines filling those gaps in the "supposed "or "intended" functioning of all those things.</blockquote>
