[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9580443, member: 7030563"] With the Purple Dragon UA, Viscous weapon changes, the Sword and Board dual wielder, and the latest Carrion Crawler I am wondering if anyone in game design is actually paying attention. Note undelined below. From MM2025 Carrion Crawler: [B][I]Paralyzing Tentacles.[/I][/B][I] [U]Dexterity Saving Throw:[/U] DC 12, one creature the carrion crawler can see within 10 feet. Failure: The target has the Poisoned condition and [U]repeats the save at the end of each of its turns[/U], ending the effect on itself on a success. After 1 minute, it succeeds automatically. While Poisoned, the [U]target has the Paralyzed condition.[/U][/I] Now from PHB: [I]While you have the Paralyzed condition, you experience the following effects. [B][I]Incapacitated.[/I][/B] You have the Incapacitated condition. [B][I]Speed 0.[/I][/B] Your Speed is 0 and can’t increase. [B][I]Saving Throws Affected.[/I][/B] [U]You automatically fail Strength and Dexterity saving throws.[/U] [B][I]Attacks Affected.[/I][/B] Attack rolls against you have Advantage [B][I]Automatic Critical Hits.[/I][/B] Any attack roll that hits you is a Critical Hit if the attacker is within 5 feet of you.[/I] So if you are paralyzed by a Carrion Crawler you get a save every turn that you automatically fail!
