Message: <blockquote data-quote="JiffyPopTart" data-source="post: 8707648" data-attributes="member: 4881">Additional facts for the scenario.1.  In addition to killing me, the spell also did 52 damage to the party barbarian and mage and blinded both of them.  The barbarian for 1 round and the mage for 3.2. The party split up to do guerrilla tactics against the bad guys from different areas to avoid being grouped up.  The spell just happened to have a giant area that caught me at the edge.3. I was a wildfire druid who used wildshape to summon a fire elemental companion, not wildshape myself.  This companion also died to the spell.  It can fly and shoot which it was doing.4. In addition to being blinded, the other party members were busy saving themselves from dying after the spell went off.5. I chose to not cast other spells because I was trying to avoid detection of my own character for safety.  This was my ultimate point.  Not only was I not doing something to contribute to dying, I was trading offense for defense during the battle.Finally, less of a fact and more of a play style....one thing I always do is keep my character status to myself unless my character has the opportunity to let others know how they are.  After the spell, when my turn came up I just announced "I do nothing."   Since this was mostly the same thing the blinded wizard and barbarian were doing the other player may or may not have suspected my character was actually dying instead of waiting out blindness.  I don't think it would have made a difference even if they had because it only took 3 rounds to actually die a d as stated 2 of the 3 remaining characters were also incapacitated by the spell and the last was across the map engaging the BBEG.</blockquote>
