that’s starting to encroach on him having the epithet of silver rather than the silver curse
not if they’re just using fire or lightning magic spells for the effects
fair, but to a curse user such things would be practically useless, not to mention the fact that you would get much more tired than you would normally be if you used magic over your curse
Sometimes you just need to sacrifice efficiency for the cool factor
it’s like putting on shoes with four cm metal soles, compared to sandals.
you’re gonna get very tired
it adds to the damage
it would be like giving a +1 to a nat 20 roll every single time, just use the energy you would expend from magic circles in your curse
wait. that is pointless since a nat 20 is a crit or instant success unless the dm says otherwise.
OHH. that’s the point.
sure, it might do a tiny bit of extra damage, but the nat 20 is already absolute and utter success
yes.
what if you need the ability to burn or electrify in that moment
in that very specific case you might use those.
but in what case would you be where you needed to do that exactly and you can’t just manipulate a spike of your curse to go through whatever obstacle it is before utterly destroying it
what if it’s a metal stronger than silver, you could electrocute through it
what if it’s a filler episode where you need to help a failing restaurant stay in business, use fire
or maybe you just want to create a battlefield hazard out of it
-
you’re not gonna electrocute through it, you’d have to interpret your epithet to give you explosive powers, with silver you could just keep trying to spike through it because if one spike fails try another.
-
for the filler episode you’re not gonna be able to light a fire with fire magic since every single instance of it being used is offensively and it dissipated afterwards
-
liquid metal
i thought we were talking about ao
just make it not intense? it doesn’t have to be used offensively
that’d require manual manipulation to become a hazard, starting a fire is much easier
yeah we were, I’m just telling you that lightning isn’t going to electrocute through something
liquid metal wouldn’t really require much manipulation, and even if it does you can use it as a shield before you melt it to give yourself time
you called?
no sandal, and why do you seem to flip-flop between names?
curse you warmwater and your cleverly crafted shoe punsssss
doesn’t lightning just pass through conductive metal tho or am i misunderstanding something
