I'm thinking of taking "Evard's Black Tenticles" as one of the spells my gnomish illusionist gets for going to 8th level. I've got a couple of questions on this spell...
(1) Do the tenticles get AoOs?
(2) Can the tenticles flank (or participate in flanking) an opponent?
(3) As I read it, the tenticles appear on the round the spell is cast (it's a 1 action spell), but cannot act until the caster's next turn. Is that right?
(4) Can multiple tenticles appear in the same 5ft square, or must they all occupy different squares?
Seems like a really cool spell. Just the thing to take out those pesky evil wizard types. Being small, my gnome can even cast it centered on himself without fear of being grappled by the tenticles.
Love to hear from anyone who has novel uses or good stories involving this spell.
