    About the "Depression" spell, it wasn't a spell of itself, it was a Command spell. The DM stated that it could be anything, as long as it's one word. Usually people say things like Fear or Sleep or something like that, but Jaiden goes straight for destroying all of his hope.

      @@katisbest5159 It's a first level spell (many classes could literally start off with it at Lv1), so there are a lot of restrictions on low level spells like that such as they can't do anything knowingly and intentionally harmful. Also, everything (not just spells, literally everything in the game) is subject to "At the DM's discretion" so the DM can easily say "I'm not going to allow that" and either have the player pick another command or say they wasted their spell slot and their turn.

      There are also only five or so words that you’re actually technically allowed to use in the first place, and they have standardized effects. Charlie, the DM, made Command to be much more powerful than normal by allowing it to be any one word and not just one from the list.

      @@katisbest5159 In 3rd edition D&D, the spell description actually addresses this: "A command of 'Die' causes the subject to fake death".
      Aside from that, in all editions the command is supposed to be a verb, so a noun like "Depression" shouldn't work. But in certain circumstances you could use "Lament" or "Regret" and probably get something similar.

  • @TheSansationalSans
    @TheSansationalSans Год назад +40

    The "Depression" command isn't a spell in and of itself. The command spell allows you to yell out a word and the target is forced to do that action their next turn. So when Jaden yelled "Depression", Mark Tompson was forced to do a 'depression" action that turn. Usually this spell is for things like "flee" or "surrender" or 'leave' or something like that. Really any action that is one word can be used.

      The bad part is that because people homebrew so much stuff into D&D, it didn't even occur to me when watching the video that the mace spray was weird.
      It's not even that hard to put in.
      Mace Spray: DC 15(?) Constitution save (potentially at disadvantage if they're not expecting it) or the target is blinded for 1d4 rounds. Number of uses and availability decided by the DM.

    Acid is more of their Dragonic Ancestry. Depending on what color of the scales, here's as it follows:
    Red & Brass Dragonborns breaths Fire
    Silver & White Dragonborns breaths Cold
    Black and Copper Dragonborns breaths Acid
    and lastly, Green Dragonborns breaths Poison
    The magic that she used was Shatter, Warlock's 2nd level spell since Slime, the DM, made her started out as LVL3.

    A few weeks ago I played dnd for the first time. It was a one shot and we all played as kobolds. We had to preform on stage to get information about a rat we'd been following and I was chosen to go on stage as a pre-show while the others got ready. My character found some drums and started tap dancing drunken sailor on them, I rolled a 17 on performance and the crowd loved my act more then the main act, it was awesome!

      Because Command has restrictions on it, where they won't perform an action that will knowingly directly cause self harm. So like if you try to make them "Jump" off a cliff or tell them to "Seppuku" the survival instinct kicks in and the Command fizzles.
