I have a situation in my game which I was curious how others would rule on this. I have a player character that was hit with a Prismatic Spray (violet) and sent to another plane. I had not yet rolled or chosen which plane of existence he was on when it returned to his turn. At which point he announced that he was going to cast the spell, “Banishment” on himself. There by sending himself back to his home plane of existence.
My first instinct was to say no way, but he made a few good arguments.
1. I wasn’t sure he could target himself with this spell or with dismissal? The spell reads Target - One or more extraplanar creatures – which he stated that he was now currently one – being on a different plane.
2. If he could target himself would it “banish” him from the current plane he was on to his home plane?
3. Or would it default to Dismissal and have a 20% chance of ending up on a different plane? (which then we rolled a 13%) He then argued that “Banishment” spell was a more powerful version of Dismissal and didn’t have the 20% mischance listed and therefore shouldn’t be accounted for.
Any one else have thoughts on this situation?
