The usual.

It's been very quite the last few days. Everyone doing ok for this game?

I'm doing great. Wondering how everyone else was and excited to play.

Same. I'm here ready to roll.

Seconded.

Sorry, It's the end of the school year year and it is busy busy busy.

No worries!

School goes first.
Just hoping that I will finally actually get to play on this site. After millions of rejections this game is my best hope.

I'm sorry you have been getting rejected

Same.
Games can fill up pretty fast. Unfortunately, not everyone has the free time to check back constantly.

We will, I promise.

Ok, I should ask for guidance from on high.

Prestidigitation. One of its effects is that you can "instantaneously light or snuff out a candle, a torch, or a small campfire."

I'm used to the houserule that it's a "fire the size of" on of those, and not those three things specifically. (Always struck me as odd you can light a candle but not a lamp, and if you move that same campfire into a fireplace you can't light it or put it out.) But I wanted GM approval before I start doing things that don't technically follow the rules.

So for me, I think the intensity of the fire is greater than that of small campfire, but I like the idea, so you can use prestidigitation to make a ranged attack on the fire. It is unusual for this to be an attack roll, but I like the idea of the fact that this fire is basically actively trying to spread, whereas a campfire isn't.

I mean, a campfire would absolutely spread if it had material nearby. That's the whole reason we have Smokey the Bear! 🤣

Good ol' Smokey haha

No I agree, but this fire is actively spreading.

Me: waking up this morning and instantly regretting that I didn't take the cantrip "Control Flames" even though I am playing the "fire starter"

Wicked fire starter?

Could I use the damage of an Ice knife spell, specifically the 2d6 cold damage over the area to extinguish the fire? Target the "center" attack AC 12, then snuff it with the burst damage?

Yes.

How does the dm handle PC talking during combat?Only on our initiative or can we talk during others?

If it's brief, it is fine whenever.

Just checking the coding of the site.


Edit, cool that works. Added basic "at level" Spells as weapons for speed of posting. Will still have to manually input updated spells.

Suppose this is a good time to check... by RAW, an attack of opportunity is a melee attack. Are we sticking with that, or houseruling to allow spellcasting?

Sticking with that because it kind of devalues warcaster feat.

Oh my god WHY?!?! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

You think it'll make it worse? I couldn't decide.

Absolutely.
The two things fire needs are air and fuel. Wind increases oxygen (and also pushes the fire to spread).

Real that's very true. I was thinking more like a larger version of blowing out a candle. Good thing that action never happened.

You can really only blow out a fire when it's small. When you're lighting a campfire, for example, it's easy to blow too hard and put it out.

But remember, blowing is also what causes it to catch and spread.

Once a fire reaches a certain size (and it's not really that big) you can't blow them out with anything short of extreme winds. And even then, if the fire is big enough it will only spread. Water becomes essential... a driving rain will put the fire out, but it's primarily due to the water.

Thanks

Our GM has been missing for a month. Sadly, I think it's safe to say this game has ended.
