I imagine Autumnal Damage would be similar to winter arriving in Bone, but with falling leaves.
Oh wow I haven’t thought about bone in… Over 10 years at least
Man, I need to read Bone.
Can someone explain?
Another word for the season of Autumn is Fall.
Thus, the DM is about to make a pun about Fall damage. The player of the bard notices the incoming pun, takes defensive action via casting a counter-pun spell, and thus prevents a table full of groaning and moaning, and possibly even laughter.
Laughter from a pun like this is a rare thing, a charisma check of 19 with disadvantage.
More like charisma save, DC 0
We’re D&D players, we all have a -1 at most
They entered into fall, so the bard prevented fall damage by using feather fall.
Technically they also prevented mental damage to the players from the pun
Fall damage
Because no one else is doing it, I’m going to take the hit. Feather Fall in D&D 5e prevents falling damage, not fall damage. Sorry to ruin the pun, but someone had to.
You did not successfully ruin the pun, as it has been made clear it does not live or die by the Ing.
However, you did ruin the mood. I banish you to a lower tier.
Hey, at least 16 people enjoyed my contribution, and I think I got some down votes so more than that. I think I did fine. Also, banishment only lasts for 1 minute, so I’m back.
Are you sure you’re native to this plane, rather than Mechanus?
Pride’s moans of ecstasy already ruined the mood.
The English language still backs it up. If you fall, you are falling. Simply because there is an ing missing from the text of a thing not said in the joke doesn’t mean that the joke doesn’t work. On top of that there’s the whole part of how the DM is God in a game, not the DMG or the rule book.
You didn’t ruin anything. Just weirdly pedantic for no reason
Weirdly pedantic is fun sometimes, and I’d say especially so with D&D 5e rules that often are very poorly worded.
Damage taken from being the Fall season would be called “Fall damage” in English though. It is not a verb that you did, it is a noun that is. You are not falling. It is fall. Falling is only from a present tense verb of fall.
Sorry to be more pedantic.
Since we have all decided to be pedantic, ‘falling’ is not the past tense of ‘fall’.
Its like a participle or gerund or some shit that means it is happening now. edit either I misread or original message was edited. Regardless others have thoroughly beaten me at being pedantic.
It should tell you if it’s edited with an asterisk and it should say when the edit happened. I didn’t edit the message though. It always said it was present tense.
Leaves fall, everyone dies
Sadly there are many such cases.
and brother, i hurt people
DM: Instead of leaves, the forest is covered in what appears to be goose down.
Fizban? Was he here?
Are we about to roll initiative against grass??
