[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8686371, member: 6987520"] No issues there. :) But, like with other ruling discussions, I would prefer to move it to another thread so we can keep the focus for this thread on that actual fight. I'll respond this time in another spoiler, just to keep it "contained" as much as possible, but will keep any further responses for another thread if people want to continue discussing it. [spoiler] So can other spells and features, but unless the feature describes how it works, like the Banshee's Wail, nothing dictates that any such words need to be spoken in any level of great volume. What about the [I]power word[/I] spells? All they say is speak or utter, nothing even indicates the target needs to [I]hear[/I] the word spoken for the spell to take effect! So, how loudly does Vecna have to say it? As loudly or quietly as he wants, as long as it is spoken clearly IMO. Are you though? Pyre was working on the trap, Ezabard was focused at that moment on the symbol, Vyrlim was casting a spell. In fact, only Selossen was actively watching IIRC at the time Vyrlim's spell was interrupted and wouldn't have been able to see Vecna at that time from that position anyway. For Ezabard's spell, you were all engaged in general melee, which I doubt anyone would generally consider a quite affair, and would be focused on the danger at hand, more so than trying to hear Vecna utter a word some distance away. [/spoiler] FWIW, if you were DMing this and running it as you see it should work, I wouldn't have any issues, either. [/QUOTE]
