makes sense to me. I didn't think me "posting" first was bad for me there.

and I am down again.
May 31, 2024 6:11 pm
so I am down, but not without taking a parting shot to the dragon.

Also, does being unconscious end the frightened condition? so if I do somehow come up...again I wouldn't be frightened?
May 31, 2024 6:16 pm
Maybe you come back more scared after a beat down!

You remain frightened and repeat saving throws at the end of each of your turns. Nothing in the rules states that you automatically fail certain saving throws. If you are unconscious. As such, you would still make the repeat saving throws while unconscious

wouldn't the argument be had, if I am unconscious I do not have line of sight? or does it just mean I will roll a death saving throw, and a "get brave" saving throw my next turn (essentially)

edit: just playing devil's advocate here totally ok with still being frightened, doesn't really change anything at this point

Well, we can debate for fun a bit, but one point about not having line of sight if you are unconscious (presumably because your eyes would be closed) is that then the whole point about "you can't move toward the source of your fear" would be meaningless, as you would just close your eyes as you approach. this is one of those "what matters more, simulation or game rules" things.

just want to say sorry and thanks for fixing by elemental Condition Immunities.

While I totally agree with Frightful Presence interaction with being unconscious, I wonder how being dead and returned back to life by revivify spell interact with that. I want to believe a dead man don't roll wisdom save... :) but do they keep the condition? Well I mean I hope we will not have that situation in the game, but and interesting theoretical question

I would think being dead and then revived would remove all non-permanent conditions. For instance blinded condition because your eyes were burned out..Of course there are arguments to remove that condition as well. For instance you can say that revivify patches you up just enough so your heart starts... the patchin up would obviously mean grievious wounds are no longer an issue... and maybe those eyes are fixed now as well.. Is your DM dark and deadly that likes to leave scars?

I would rule (and maybe a generous dm would as well) that being brought back would also reset certain timers. For instance ability x can only be used once per long rest...

interestingly, I can't find an official resource that describes the "Dead" condition (is it a condition?). It just says...you are dead.

So there could be a lot of DM room for interpretation.

Does being Dead make the character suddenly an object? objects don't have conditions. so the condition no longer applies? Then what happens when it suddenly applies again?

Or is being Dead a condition? and conditions can still apply? You could technically be Dead/Prone/Frightened.

I've always heard that when you die you are a corpse, and a corpse is not alive (unless made a zombie or skeleton) and thus an object. it can get weird if you take that too seriously, though.

As for what would happen if you died and then were brought back, I would say it depends on the method you were brought back but I would say temporary things like the frightened condition would end, though i feel like things such as frightful presence which say you are immune for 24 hours might reset so you could get frightened again, as you are almost a new person. As for long-term scars, It won't matter here as this is a "one-shot" by pbp standards, but I'd say the player would decide if they are ok with a scar on the face or over their chest or if an arm got messed up. After all, regeneration spell exists.

Would that mean if you previously had a "only once in 24hrs" or "once ever" feature it would reset? What about spell slots?

Edit ceremony's coming of age?

Coming of Age. You touch one humanoid who is a young adult. For the next 24 hours, whenever the target makes an ability check, it can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to the ability check. A creature can benefit from this rite only once.

I don't think it would reset unless the source bringing you back says you gain such benefits. By my own logic, though, I guess if you succeed on the save against frightening presence and died and came back you would still be immune

@MaJunior Just a heads up, in a few hours I'll be putting Kadmos on auto pilot unless you post first. Since it is a dragon, and you are mostly melee, I will have you do a firebolt against the dragon and end your turn.
Jun 5, 2024 5:31 pm
honestly...more than I can do to a flying dragon
Jun 5, 2024 7:40 pm
That dragonfear has me pretty much locked down!
Jun 5, 2024 7:50 pm
yeah, dragons are scary.
Jun 5, 2024 7:59 pm
Just a suggestion, it might make it easier for you to confirm hits and misses at a glance if you include AC's. That way when we roll in the dice roller we can include it. Maybe no AC in the first round or so to maintain some mystery but after that perhaps?

Yes they are scary when you start combat against them with one PC down and few more restrained....

I would recommend note in "Current Battle Information" that attacks against Isaiah is at disadvantage until he die because he put the cloak on him a while. I want to believe you missed that when attacking my PC

Dodge gives disadvantage for the full round until my turn right not just a single attack? the 2nd attack would have been at disadvantage as well I think?

edit: oh nevermind I get it now. You took his first roll from Isiah and just did the disadvantage roll.

well I am down then
