To all those saying that viscous mockery doesn’t work that way, let me counter with this: D&D is a Tabletop Role-Playing Game (TRPG), as such there are instances in which the games rules may be vetoed by the dm for the sake of a more interesting RP experience. I personally would absolutely let a spell entirely based on *mocking someone* hit regardless of the opponent’s saving throw if the player casting it came up with a brutal enough insult. Therefore: I see no issues here
@santosic5 ай бұрын
