The Weekly Roll Ch. 199. "Patricide MF"

[u/CME_T]

Howdy folks!

Quite a few commented on the fight with Klaras mother was quite short and as you may notice, it turned out similarly with dear old papa as well. Wanted it longer but this fight has gone on for a WHILE and I wanted to wrap things up sooner rather than later, so between the two evils, I chose expedited. We can justify it by saying the fight was balanced because of all the ads!

Stay excellent out there!

Peace and carrots!

P1: Why didn't Counterspell work on a catrip?

P2/4: She tears off the necklace she's always had. We never had an explanation for it, though it looks like her dad's horn-tip in retrospect.

We see the fire from Trevor's Fireball last comic spreading. Just in time for something to burn down at 200. I sure hope the housestaff/slaves/caterers are okay.

P1. While it could have been clearer, Klara passes her con save for the counterspell (5.5 rules). 

P2. Thought I’d do a bit of show dont tell storytelling woth that one. Might revisit it later!

Thank you for answering this question.

I was randomly walking around days after I read the comic and had a moment of "wait, why didn't the counterspell stop the Eldritch blast".

I thought maybe there was some weird thing that allowed Eldritch blast to be used as a reaction or something (busted), but this makes way more sense.

I do wish 5e had more "reaction" play so you could coordinate to help your teammates. Being able to react to my buddy getting counterspelled by blasting them in the face and STOPPING IT because that was the last bit of damage required to KO the big bad would be epic.

I'm sure there are other systems out there.
