Unholy

Hrmm, strange, its not working.
You're not an evil cleric. Well, you're not a cleric, I'm fairly certain about that. Around here, who knows about the "evil."

Why the surprise?
Rich has an...infrequent update schedule.

So, for us not-DnD players, what are the effects of Holy Word?

So, for us not-DnD players, what are the effects of Holy Word?

Deafness, Blindness, Paralysis, Death
Sub effect: banish extraplanar creature.

Each effect is based on caster level differences.

Assuming the arch rival guild is mostly about the same level as the other guys they'll probably all go deaf, and maybe one or two will go blind.

But only for 1d4/2d4 rounds.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

You're forgetting that someone in this scene is an extraplanar creature.

The other one is behind that trap wall, though, so... not as effective as possible, I guess.

It's a 40 foot range, and doesn't matter if the creature hears it or not, but he probably won't due to plot device.

The kobold will probably be paralyzed or die, but the big thing is that they're losing their trap spotter and will have to sacrifice more mummies - That is, if they can be commanded without the summoner.

Why command when you can just shove them?

Actually I was wondering how a sonic spell would work if you applied the Silent Spell feat to it.

Silent Spell just means you don't have to apply the words required to cast the spell unless it is specifically ingrained upon the spell description such as the spell "Command" which while you could cast it silently, you would still have to vocalise a command. The interpretations of how it works are varied as with much with the system.

Well, it looks liek it would probably destroy the mummies too. Have to say, I'm a little confused by the CL-10 effect, "Killed, Paralyzed, Blinded, Deafened" with no saving throw? Doesn't being dead kind of forgo being paralyzed, etc? Or would those effects only manifest if the target had some immunity to death-effects?

Not an expert on DnD, but yeah, I'd expect some stuff might be immune/resist the death part but can still be affected by the other stuff.

They'd be flat out destroyed if they were cl-10... as for the rest, probably DM-fiat. They're probably immune, but since the kill condition is special cased, the rest probably could be, too, without really bending anything too much. Depends on what the person mediating the rules say, and which implementation would make that person the happiest :P

E: Someone's interpretation of it. I could see going with that reading.

Clerics are ridiculously convoluted.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.
