[QUOTE="Gardens & Goblins, post: 7354162, member: 6846794"] By your reading and understanding, sure. Which is as valid as mine. Bottom line - some folks will be ok with dragons using their breath weapon while under the effect of an Invisibility spell. Some will not. I'd wager that many of those that are not ok with it believe the intent of the spell is that directly damaging or harming someone ends the spell. And understand that the rules are not perfect, requiring a DM to play the role of Keeper of the Rules, as described in the DMG. As such, they will have the spell end. And those that are happy with Invisibility not ending when a dragon uses their breath weapon? Obviously, they'll rule otherwise. Personally, I understand that the rules can't account for every aspect of play and believe that with regards to Invisibility [I](as well as Sanctuary)[/I] and their interaction with a dragon's breath attack are just one of many kinks in the system that the DM, acting within their defined role as Keeper of the Rules, can rectify. Suspecting this might be a case of the RAW & RAI not playing nice, I then applied the process described by JC himself, and came to my conclusions as detailed earlier. I'm not sure what you're getting at here. Did his intent for the spell change? What was he trying to achieve? I believe this is very important. Personally, I think its far more likely that the intent stayed true. It seems more likely than JC thinking, [I]'Hmmm you know what? I really want folks to find things that function as attacks / damaging spells but aren't specifically called out as them so that they can be used to maintain the Invisibility spell. Like a dragon's breath attack! Yes! I shall change the language of the rules accordingly!' [/I]:D [/QUOTE]
