High Rollers: Aerois #93 | Trial of Power

[@Elros89]

Something I've noticed a lot over this campaign is that Mark asks what Sentry is doing quite often whenever she hasn't done something in a while. That's the sign of a great DM to me. Making sure everyone participates and feels included

[@clonebanana]

Trott how you gonna hit me with the "I just want to see family" in the first 15 minutes. Cant be dropping those sadness bombs so early my dude!

can we all agree that the trott's bit about dnd beyond is what keeps us from skipping the first part

[@dukeolizards5643]

Not trolling. Honestly curious. More familiar with 2nd ed. than 5th. Would Aila's first attack have interrupted the cone of cold spell? Or would it still go off bc its not concentration?

[@mme.veronica735]

Concentration only affects certain duration spells (it's specified in the spell) and only happens if the target is hit after casting the spell. The only exception is specifically holding your action to cast a spell as a reaction, such as an ambush or waiting for an enemy to move out of cover. I'm assuming the cone of cold wasn't a held action so no

[@asherandai1000]

The way turns are divvied up in 5e is way different to 2nd, so it's not possible to interrupt casting that way anymore. Actions are completed in full when declared, then the next action, so there is none of the old casting time in which to interrupt. Generally each character has Movement, Action, Bonus Action, and Reaction. Reaction is the only one that interrupts a turn, but it happens *after* the trigger and before the next action starts. In this case the enemy moved (Movement), Aila attacked (Reaction - Held Attack), then the enemy cast cone of cold (Action - Cast a Spell). Hope that makes sense for you.

[@Masterkavi]

Did it just say Chromatic Orb has a material component of a diamond worth 50gp? I assume it doesn't consume it or else that spell would suck.

[@Miner49er201]

The spell does not consume the diamond, but it at least stops characters from having it at first level; a damage type for any occasion is VERY strong. I also like the idea that the diamond is used as a prism, resulting in a rainbow of damage types.

[@asherandai1000]

I try not to harp on about rules corrections or forgetting stuff but for god's sake Katie the Aura is a bonus action to trigger each turn, it doesn't just happen. You can't add it onto a reaction attack for example. You got it right in the very early episodes, but not for a very long time now. While I'm here I might as well: The brutal critical dice does not double. Its an extra dice on top of the doubled attack dice. Two extra dice next level... which was what you've been using. Ok, I'm done for at least 20 episodes.
