If the objects have blindsight then does that mean advantage on attack?Scene 1: Evening at the Museum

I think the objects make the attacks, you just tell them to attack and who.
Aug 28, 2024 10:24 pm
OOC:
I think that is correct. Blind sight means you can effectively see to a certain range even if blind.What I don't know is about commanding them. If you say "attack BK2" but you can't see BK2, will they know who you are talking about?
Aug 28, 2024 10:32 pm
OOC:
I would think their knowledge of an enemy would be equivalent to the caster. Since the caster can’t see I would say they need to be very specific if a certain enemy is targeted but in lieu of that general orders can be given. For instance keep attacking the same enemy until it dies and the kill the next closest one.Last edited August 28, 2024 10:32 pm

Keep in mind the objects from the spell have an intelligence of 3 so I take that to mean they can only obey very simple commands, like "attack that guy" or "guard this spot" and not "Attack the guy that matches this description"

Travail had enough of getting slashed. With an arcane word, a force shield deflected the bone knight's greatsword strike but now arcane darkness descended over him.
"Come, sire!" he shouted, followed by another string of arcane words. Travail couldn't see the doorway but he knew it was there, and he visualized the staircase in the north-west corner of the first level as their destination.
Once there, Travail formed a claw with one hand to warp magic and manifest a ghostly, skeletal hand which clawed at the skeletal brute he saw!
Action: Dimension Door with the king ending up at C6 and Travail at C7.
No Action: Metamagic Quicken Spell.
Bonus Action: Chill Touch at SB3.
On a hit, the target takes 3d8 necrotic damage, and it can't regain hit points until the start of my next turn. Until then, the hand clings to the target. If the target is undead, it also has disadvantage on attack rolls against me until the end of my next turn.

OOC:
It's a nit pick, and your turn still goes off as you said, but technically you would need to use quicken spell on dimension door, not chill touch. 2024 makes this less complicated, but long story short if you bonus action a cantrip your action must be a cantrip too if also a spell, but switching the order means your action was a cantrip.OOC:
They all miss, but as expected the one forced to attack it's ally not only hits but crits. You all are being protected by some kind of force, not sure what.@CherokeeWind,@MaJunior,@Basil you are all up. Reminder: Crow must keep using his action on crown of madness or else the spell ends.

I missed the part about the king. I'll fix that. As for Bells, perception checks take an action. If you don't hear something that gives a person's location away, you have to make assumptions. This should be a moot point as he is up in the other upper section with Travail now, which you can see
