Message: <blockquote data-quote="Stalker0" data-source="post: 8668921" data-attributes="member: 5889">I personally would rule that IDS does not work in an anti-magic field....I mean how else are you producing radiant damage....is your sword just always radioactive or something?But considering Sage Advice, I wouldn't be opposed to letting the damage work, but not the rest of the attack. It doesn't suddenly turn all of your damage into radiant afterall, and the immunity to slashing damage would still apply. We have specific effects that make mundane attacks magical (such as Ki empowerment), and since none of that language is used on IDS, I would not give it that extra benefit.So to settle the monk flurry argument, the technically reading of "Making an attack" specifically says:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Choose a target. Pick a target within your attack’s range: a creature, an object, or a <a href="https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Running%20Horror%20Games#h-Location" target="_blank">Location</a>. (emphasis mine)</li> </ol>So attacking a pillar seems to be completely fine. Frankly I've always allowed a player to take an attack action and not make attacks if they really want to (its still using their action afterall), so I think attacking the pillar to get in a flurry is perfectly fine, and seems to be completely within RAW. Hell you could even take it one step further and just allow them to swing at a location that is a patch of empty air or the ground, as locations are also targets.</blockquote>
