This sounds like the peasant rail gun with extra steps.

Woah cool idea!

I had used one as the BBEG in a campaign I ran once. It was strictly for a their tier 4 climax and they had multiple side quests to help get some advantages like overcoming the spell resistance or temporarily stoping the health Regen. However, I also gave the Terrasque a ranged attack, and a few extra abilities so the players couldn’t metagame and fly and kite.

And they had to figure out a way to trap the monster in a canyon.

Even still I dropped every PC to 0 health at least once in that encounter before they won. A real nail bitter.

It was one of the top five boss fights I ever was a part of on either side of the screen.

I have a house rule where a counter spelled counter spell is nullified but causes a roll on the wild magic table for both casters.

Back when we could expect good things from our Octogenarian politicians \s.

But on a serious note, I think the supply train for the orcs was non existent as they were … expected to live off the land…

That’s why I practice rubber Flumph debugging before I lint my spells.

It might work like how my table handles the shield spell but in reverse. For example…

DM rolls attack against Pat’s Tiefling Wizard named Tim.

DM: I am rolling the goblin’s attack. Pat, what’s Tim’s AC?

Pat: 15.

DM rolls a 16. Does not tell anyone.

DM: Okay, the goblin hits you. I know you have at least one possible reaction, what does Tim do?

Pat: Tim casts shield! His AC is now 20.

DM: The attack misses!

DM then describes to the Party how the goblin arrow slings towards Tim, stopping only when it gets stuck in a last second distortion of abjuration magics.

Not fantasy, but in the SciFi book the Draco Tavern is about the only alien bar on earth wherein the owner has to be careful not to feed his guests any poison that would be delicacies on Earth.

Under common is the lingua franca of the Underdark a vast cave system. A trading pidgin of those that live there and any brave surface soul who trades there.

Theves cant is class ability a coded message telling rogues what nasty criminal things are to do. It’s there to make the roleplayers feel like a spy, con artist, or planning a heist.

IDK, I like playing as the lizard species in Skyrim. If I’m a Dragonborn, I might as well look the part.
