I just realized that when the lil' necromancer goes to give the guy a muffin, glyph of warding deactivates if you take the object more than 10 feet from where you cast the spell, so he essentially 'unpoisoned' the muffin by bringing it to him to help lure him back.

Really, the moral could also be "if it was easy to kill *someone who can hire* a high level necromancer..." Since the spell can be cast on anyone who donates some flesh to the spell. This is really should be the favorite spell of royalty, and the best reason to hire a level 15 wizard.

When a wizard transfers his soul into a youthful new body, sets up a pastry stand at the next town you'll visit, expends the time and the reagents needed to enchant every single one of the pastries with a Glyph of Warding, and waits patiently for you to arrive so they can detonate the equivalent of 500 tons of TNT in your face, you know you've gotten their attention.

If he were smart, it'd be a slow-acting poison. That way he could eat it, have the hero eat it, and then explode both of them. He was gonna kill his young body anyway, why not mix poison in with the explosion just to throw him off even more?

[@rikowolfin4984]

@@Shifterwizard Multiple reasons, it's possible that a Paladin knew some spell to remove poison from the food, or could detect it some how which would give up the plan that the Necromancer was going to try and assassinate him. Much easier to lure the man with trust that nothing bad would happen to him into a trap that would almost assuredly kill him out right and if it didn't there was still no way for him to get information out of the now dead child clone body. Even still he had a back up plan, if all else fails, he now has an undead army as his personal body guards that the hero would have a hard time killing since they are people who were close to him. Poison is quick and easy, the problem with that is literally every adventurer is worried about poison in their food, they aren't however worried about explosions coming out of sweet vendor stands.

I remember... we were in a long running campaign. We were a party of six. A human rouge, an elf monk, a half orc barbarian, an aasimar cleric, a half elf warlock, and a changeling wizard. We were around level 15 16 area, and we no longer feared death. It was a mild inconvenience, a day trip to fix it. Then, our cleric got roasted alive by an ancient red dragon. No one took it seriously at first, we killed the dragon and began talking about ressurection when the dungeon master told us, "Okay, who casts the spell?" The table went dead silent as we all realized what'd happened. Essentially every npc healer was hunted down by an group of evil inquistors earlier in the campaign, and there was nobody who could cast the spell. Of course, our wizard wasn't going to let his fiance go quietly, and he got out an object he had made earlier when he found an old book in a Necromancers tower. He used magic jar. The dungeon master was about to say it doesn't work like that, then the wizard pointed out that we'd seen a lich harvesting the souls of the recently dead in the exact same way, so why couldn't he? The wizard explained his plan, the dungeon master thought about it. It was rule of cool at its finest, but we'd been playing these characters for so long it felt wrong to just kill them off. Besides, his plan made some sense. So the wizard harvested her soul and trapped her in a jar. In game, the party erupted into an argument, the monk and barbarian were furious, but the warlock and rouge sided with the wizard. Outvoted, the sat back as they recovered her body, and brought her back to their hideout. The group split up for a few months in game time as her new body grew. Then, one day, the cleric opened her eyes and broke free from her tank. Her battle scars and tattoos were gone, her body entirely untouched. Well, except for one thing. Her god wouldn't speak to her and she had emerged as a fallen, rather than a scourged. But she was alive.

Keep in mind that it's not just a Necromancer wizard that can pull off this trick -- it's pretty much any high-level wizard. It's also worth mentioning that -- rules as written -- there is no limit to the number of times that a wizard can use the Clone spell; it's constrained only by time and resources (it requires 120 days and 3000 gold). As such, a powerful wizard can extend their life indefinitely using clones that are grown to develop at a youthful age. Great series of videos! I really love the work.

[@cyborgcatrj6794]

Always an easy setup for a campaign. Either the players or the villains are trying to track down and destroy the horcrux- I mean clones of a powerful wizard. The second gets more mileage because there are a ton of opportunities for double crosses and investigative quests, as the players need to figure out which site the villains will target next.

[@MetalGlitch]

Would it be possible to use the Wish spell to cast clone without spending the material components? If I understand Wish correctly, you could make a clone of yourself or your companions daily with ease once you got your 9th level spell slot.

[@Josh-99]

@@MetalGlitch That's correct. The basic functionality of Wish is to replicate any spell of 8th level or lower. Of course, once you are to the point of being an Arcane caster with access to 9th level magic you are cheating at the game anyway.

If your original body dies and you pop into a clone, you are now that clone and you would then want to create a duplicate from said clone. Meaning you'd take the flesh from the clone then, meaning you only need to take a little bit from your current body and you can easily create a couple clones (especially if you have a cleric willing to heal you. Regeneration is even BETTER, cause you can make a LOT of clones from an entire bloody arm.) Ideally you'd create a demiplane, store 2 clones in there along with some basic equipment you'd need like an extra spellbook and some clothes, then if you get killed you pop into one of the clones.

@@OliverurFace here is glyph of warding, thank goodness copy paste is a thing. Glyph Of Warding 3 abjuration Casting Time: 1 hour Range: Touch Components: V S M (Incense and powdered diamond worth at least 200 gp, which the spell consumes) Duration: Until dispelled or triggered Classes: Bard, Cleric, Wizard When you cast this spell, you inscribe a glyph that harms other creatures, either upon a surface (such as a table or a section of floor or wall) or within an object that can be closed (such as a book, a scroll, or a treasure chest) to conceal the glyph. If you choose a surface, the glyph can cover an area of the surface no larger than 10 feet in diameter. If you choose an object, that object must remain in its place; if the object is moved more than 10 feet from where you cast this spell, the glyph is broken, and the spell ends without being triggered. The glyph is nearly invisible and requires a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC to be found. You decide what triggers the glyph when you cast the spell. For glyphs inscribed on a surface, the most typical triggers include touching or standing on the glyph, removing another object covering the glyph, approaching within a certain distance of the glyph, or manipulating the object on which the glyph is inscribed. For glyphs inscribed within an object, the most common triggers include opening that object, approaching within a certain distance of the object, or seeing or reading the glyph. Once a glyph is triggered, this spell ends. You can further refine the trigger so the spell activates only under certain circumstances or according to physical characteristics (such as height or weight), creature kind (for example, the ward could be set to affect aberrations or drow), or alignment. You can also set conditions for creatures that don’t trigger the glyph, such as those who say a certain password. When you inscribe the glyph, choose explosive runes or a spell glyph. Explosive Runes. When triggered, the glyph erupts with magical energy in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on the glyph. The sphere spreads around corners. Each creature in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 5d8 acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage on a failed saving throw (your choice when you create the glyph), or half as much damage on a successful one. Spell Glyph. You can store a prepared spell of 3rd level or lower in the glyph by casting it as part of creating the glyph. The spell must target a single creature or an area. The spell being stored has no immediate effect when cast in this way. When the glyph is triggered, the stored spell is cast. If the spell has a target, it targets the creature that triggered the glyph. If the spell affects an area, the area is centered on that creature. If the spell summons hostile creatures or creates harmful objects or traps, they appear as close as possible to the intruder and attack it. If the spell requires concentration, it lasts until the end of its full duration. At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage of an explosive runes glyph increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 3rd. If you create a spell glyph, you can store any spell of up to the same level as the slot you use for the glyph of warding.

“Biscuits cupcakes *clones* and candies!”

[@LucanVaris]

To ensure the Clone remains undisturbed, use Demiplane and a container of some form of invisible ink. Place the clone in the pocket dimension that Demiplane creates, close your eyes, and scribble and/or splash the ink on a wall. That way, even if someone mind-reads you in an attempt to find the pocket dimension that holds your clone, they won't be able to know "all" the details of the room, because even you yourself will be clueless. Since they lack intimate knowledge of the room, they can't find/enter it. (Word to the wise: Might need to have a Plane Shift spell or similar on hand as well, in order to get back to your original world.)

[@squattingheads]

Demiplanes are tiny. Planeshifting there will most likely get you close to the room anyway

[@Mothwater]

.

[@LucanVaris]

For those that are wondering about the invisible ink, there's a very good reason why it not only has to be invisible, but you also have to keep yourself from seeing the ink as you apply it randomly to your Demiplane. You see, there are various different ways to read a Spellcaster's mind and/or scry for any of the Spellcaster's planes. If any of those ways succeed, someone can gain the knowledge necessary to access your plane, due to having the memories you possessed of that plane. Note: magic in general also tends to be very finicky with patterns (hence why spellcasting often involves complex finger-waggling, intricate spell circles, and precisely-carved runes). By having the pattern of the invisible ink splatter be both randomized and unknown, this means that, even if the mind reader in question could gain photographic memory of *your* memory of your Demiplane, your own memory of the intricate patterns of the invisible ink are a little bit... "fuzzy," to say the least. Since the mind reader can't learn what you don't know, and can't study the memory or location to figure out where every last splatter of ink landed, he can't learn the intricate pattern of the ink, and thus lacks the necessary knowledge to get into your domain. Of course, this might lead one to wonder "but how do I get back in?" Well, since you're the spellcaster who created the Demiplane to begin with, you can easily use the spell to open a door back into that specific Demiplane, if you don't feel like making a new one. You yourself don't need to know the patterns. It's just that anyone else reading your mind will have to know. Of course, they can always try to control your mind and try to make you open the Demiplane, but casters tend to resist and/or have alternative ways to counteract that. Plus, mind control effects tend to require a more direct engagement, compared to scrying effects, thus giving you more of a chance to fight back. TL;DR: When it comes to protecting your Demiplane, sometimes ignorance is bliss.

[@marclytle644]

Could always just cast a spell of forgettfulness on yoruself that removes the last X number of hours before you placed the clone(s) in the pocket dimension.

[@LucanVaris]

@@marclytle644 About the closest "spell of forgetfulness" spell I could find was Mind Wipe, which deletes the last 10 minutes of your target's memories. The downside is that you have to be very precise about your timing, if you don't wanna forget that you even conjured up the Clone and/or Demiplane to begin with. Plus, if you're being mentally manipulated by someone else, they'll likely notice signs of you having tampered with your own memories, and may try to restore them. Better in that case to simply have never remembered the exact details, than to remember and try to forget. Finally, the kinds of memory-related spells that could apply might use up either reliable spell slots, expensive spell components, necessary spells known, and/or any combination of the above. Why go through all that, when you can just grab a small bottle of invisible ink and a blindfold?

“As long as the soul is willing to return” Now I wonder if it’s possible to create a clone of another creature against their knowledge, and when they die bargain with their soul for access to the cloned body. But even if it isn’t I’ll probably use this idea somewhere :P

[@spamcatcher1034]

[@leyrua]

I used this on one of my players. The idea was that the NPC who pulled this on him knew the player wanted to live at any cost, and was going to try to press him into his service upon his revival. Unfortunately for the NPC, the player managed to stay alive for so long that by the time their clone activated, they were way too high level for that NPC to contend with anymore. It was great.

[@android19willpwn]

It's absolutely possible to create a clone of another creature without their knowledge, so long as you get get the flesh component from them (one cubic inch).

Animate dead does not work like that...

[@JacksonJinn]

Ehh, debatable. "Inert" is a vague descriptor. More to the point, you could just cast Speak With Dead instead. Cheaper (3rd level vs 5th) and gets the point across much easier. There are those who argue Speak With magically, somehow recreates the spirit of the creature to answer questions, but then A) that raises the question of how much value a soul even is in game, and B) you could straight ask "Do you have a Clone."

[@derimperator3847]

Animate Dead is 3rd level, Raise Dead is the 5th one. But I think at least in 5e, none of the three spells here would actually do the job perfectly: Animate Dead requires only bones and has no connection to the creatures identity or soul, Speak with Dead requires a corpse but neither the creatures soul nor it still being dead, and Raise Dead/Resurrection/True Resurrection requires both consent and not being blocked from being restored to life. Interestingly enough, the wording of Revivify should allow raising the creature even if its soul is elsewhere? But Clone specifically prevents restoring the remains to life, so not in this case either. True Res also provokes some weird issues about what makes your body your body when it comes to casting it after destroying the remains; whether that would work is additionaly up to interpretation of a soul being 'free' i think. Anyone has got some other spells in their book?

Another great episode, and great story

[@gentlyvee4062]

Oooook, I'm a super nerd cause I was more interested in the Glyph of Warding than the Clone spell for this. SO I did some math. Counting the number of cakes and pies that Skenk had on display in his stall I counted near 56 Glyphs, probably more cause the best I could do was just count the glowing cakes. With that in mind to cost Skenk at LEAST 11,200 gold for enough diamond powder (since Glyph of Warding does consume spell components on use) It took no less than 56 hours to ward all of the cakes. Now here comes the fun part. Assuming that Skenk REALLY wanted Trevor dead, he probably cast all these Glyphs at 8th level (Guessing that Skenk can only cast up to 8th cause he can use Clone) AND he is using Spell Glyphs instead of the stock Explosive Runes, probably using Fireball. Storing the Fireball spell at 8th lvl because as far as I can read Glyph of Warding only uses the one spell slot it takes to cast that spell and not more if using Spell Glyphs. The max damage a 8th lvl Fireball (13d6) can do is 78 fire damage Adding that up to the 56 Glyphs would amount to a huge 4,368 damage if Trevor failed all 56 Dex saves it took to half that damage, even if Trevor passed all the saves AND had fire resistance from something it would still be 1,092 damage. As for poor Trevor, I'm guessing he is a fighter with a 1d10 + CON for health for each level up. At lvl 16 (since Skenk would have to be 16 or 15 in order to only have 8th level spells) and have a perfect stat roll of 18 for his Con giving him a total of 19 cause he is a human and gets a free point in all stats AND some how got 1 more point for CON at his Character creation. Trevor would have a total of 240 HP. The only way for Trevor to not out right die from this attack, is if he managed to have fire resistance, make all 56 Dex saves, and every single Fireball roll the lowest damage of 13, thus resulting in 182 damage total. Just having fire resistance would insure that he wouldn't just straight up die but be knocked out until he makes all his death saves or someone heals him. Sorry for the wall, I just love putting math to some of the crazy stuff that can happen in D&D cause then it can actually happen for anyone!
