Dragon planar binding using suggestion and Nystuls Magic aura as an example. I’ll push back and say it is for the player that expects that to be acceptable to set out their expectation of that in session zero and not for the DM to foresee every possible rules exploit and shut it down. Won’t work… some rules exploits won’t be known until someone writes a forum post about it. It is an unreasonable burden on the DM.I run session zero. I make it clear that if there is uncertainty about a rules validity - I am likely to rule on the least disruptive/powerful interpretation.You are right though about the need to make these things clear early and not spring this stuff mid game. I heard a good De Niro quote the other day that feels appropriate. “Where there is doubt, there’s no doubt.”</blockquote>
