D&D 5E Create or Destroy Water spell ruling

[steeldragons]

What if you then screw in a lock system into the wound, so that it becomes a container?

Nope.

 

[Cannyjiggit]

Loads of reasons why you were right not to allow this. Among them, in addition to those above, you could add that the liquids in a creatures body are not water, they are solutions that contain some water. Blood is not water and the spell specifically states create or destroy water not 'create or destroy water based solutions'.

What if you turn the person's outer body into wood, turn their organs and bones into melting ice, and have him appraised by the container guild as a container?

However, I would rule that if you cut off the head, split the skull open, scooped out the brains, replaced them with water, then cast destroy water, that might kill your victim. But I would allow a CON save.

But at a Disadvantage though, right?

Bonus XP for creativity and sheer tenacity...but no, I would not alter my ruling.

T'ch. Obviously.

No, that would be for a STR or DEX save.

 

[thalmin]

No, that would be for a STR or DEX save.

Actually, I would house-rule that any INT save was also at disadvantage

By the time you got to this point face to face, I'd ban you from the table...

In organized play, I'd ask the coordinator to remove you for disruption.

In other words, no.
