New Game of Death: Battle Royale of the GAWDS

[Victim]

That looks pretty good. I think it's a bit odd that Jarrod's Blade Barrier wasn't aimed to hit everyone - why leave the hole in the middle when you can hit 2 additional targets?

It looks like Icitrik, Fingolfin, Therron, Ancryx, and myself haven't sent in a boon yet.

how would you place a circle like the barrier to do that?

 

[Victim]

I'd use a solid disk or circle instead of a donut. Maybe I'm missreading the spell, but it doesn't seem to me why a "Spinning disk of blades, up to 30-ft. radius" needs to have a hole in the middle.

 

[Number47]

I have to agree. I was wondering why Fingolfen and Icitrik didn't have saving throws. My suggestion, if things like this are unsure, is to ask the consensus on ENWorld, in the Rules forum.

It's a solid disk, not a ring or donut. The only way to put a hole in the middle are some prestige classes that allow you to put safe spots in. Or have an antimagic field in the middle of it.

I am house ruling it as a hollow circle because I always played it that way.

It's a bit too late now anyway. It also helps to prevent the Blade Barrier + entrapping spell like Force Cage combo that chops people up.

*sound of a bunch of clerics furiously scribbling notes on their Blade Barrier spells*

 

[Number47]

As we get to the bottom of the round, I find myself getting very excited, curious to find out what is going to happen next. I hope everyone else is getting as much of a thrill out of this GoD as I am.

<Young Cleric> But sir, doesn't a hole in the barrier make it a poor barrier?

<Teacher> SILENCE! Or my eye will bleed upon thee!
