Warlock's Curse, Fey Pact and a Bag o'Rats...

[Mort]

Possibly when teamed with a mind controlling demon ally.

Demon one:"You're my friend, right? You're on my team!"
Hapless PC:"Sure, buddy!"
Pit Fiend:"You go boom now, kay?"

EDIT: Except, didn't it refer specifically to *summoned* allies? Probably to prevent just this kind of thing.

the target must be an allied devil of lower level than the pit fiend.
So if the pit fiend can polymorph you into a devil then charm you, then use irresistible command - well then you're just hosed.

It referred to 'devil' allies, as far as I recall. Nothing about summons. So PCs are probably safe from shenanigans of this kind, at least.

Of course, this is hardly an improvement from a vermisilitude point of view...

Lord of Hell: Are you loyal to me?
Pit Fiend: No
Lord of Hell: Traitor! DiedieDIE!

Lord of Hell: Are you loyal to me?
Pit Fiend: Yes!
Lord of Hell: Hah, you can't fool me - you're planning to worm your way into my confidence and make me explode! DiedieDIE!

In a game I played, Fey Step was blocked by an intervening wall. It may not have been correctly blocked, I can't vouch for that, but it implies line of effect is required at a minimum.

Can't speak for line of sight.

Key word.

Key word.

the whole point of the comment was that it's kind of a useless tactic.

Heh, wonder if tieflings count? That could really, really suck.

I love how it's popular now to use "gamist" as a derogatory remark when describing a game. Oh, the postmodernism of it all...

I don't know it still seems a little modernist.

It's when we get to the point that that the Gamists have decided to 'take back' the term and make Gamist Pride t-shirts that well have really hit the postmodernist wall at full speed.

Can we skip to the post-post-modernist part where people start saying "gamist? What the hell are you even talking about? Can we talk about something that makes sense instead?"

Gamist Pride?

Gaymist Pride?

Gay Mistpride?

Gay Mistpride, roving reporter and planar-hopping astral detective.

Just making sure.
