[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8854913, member: 18"] This is exactly the kind of stuff I'm concerned about. The real answer is typically that the DM didn't think of it at the time (extraplanar beings tend to have large spell lists themselves), or they thought the spell blocked it or whatever, and the appearance of trying to argue that another DM was "doing it wrong" whilst claiming to be asking for good-faith real-world examples is, well, not a good look. At all. EDIT - And this isn't directed at you personally, but encounters with extraplanar creatures inspire more Monday Morning Quarterbacking from other DMs than literally any other part of D&D. You can explain all sorts of ways you screwed up as a DM, and get helpful advice, but god forbid you even positively describe combat with an extraplanar creature, because I guarantee multiple DMs will barge in to yell about how you didn't remember X spell or Y ability, or failed to use them in some elaborate and bizarre way. Even Matt Mercer gets hit with this I note. So doesn't matter if you're the Shaq of DMing. [/QUOTE]
