    30:41 Revivify won't bring back lost bits, it just jump starts you. You'd need a Resurrection, True Resurrection, or Reincarnate spell. But I'd say that, since the body can stay biologically alive for a short while after being cut off from the brain, you should be able to fix the brain-loss with a Regenerate spell, but I'd shorten that hour into a matter of rounds, 1d4 at most..

    I find it very interesting,
    It’s more like an organic computer, very capable with sophisticated systems, but lacks a self consciousness.
    This really is a neat idea.

    Matt Coleville did the same pairing in the MCDM campaign " the Chain" when they took the Somnium Tenebrous. The Mind Witness was the navigation system.

    I want to buy some merchandise from y'all and I was wondering if you've thought about putting the Superquest Saga logo on the left chest and then the colored Dungeon Cast on the back? I'd love to buy that on a hoodie if you ever create one.

    26:50 Elementals, Storm Giant Quintessants can turn into a shape that doesn't include one, also liches. That's three off the top of my head. STEP. UP. YOUR. GAME. Dungeoncast.

      Genies and Genasi would probably have brains probably most if the evil prince's too if not all.
      Liches usually still have a brain tho they don't technically need it to live or anything

    • @lawaern3474
      @lawaern3474 3 года назад +1

      @@onyxgrnr666 Sorry, by elementals I meant the standard variety. And no, Liches don't have brains, ever seen one depicted? They are almost always skellyboyz. Even when they aren't, their body has usually been around for ages, the brain is definitely gone.
      Also Genasi aren't elementals, they are part elemental. And the princes of elemental evil are big blobs of their element, why would they have brains?

    On the idea of what all the mind flayer creatures are modelled off. I think these things are just a gene-modifier staple. All these things (and more) can be found in games like Xcom, for instance. If you can reshape creatures to fit your design, and have a need to capture prey, you're going to make a hunting dog.

    The spells Resurrection and True Resurrection would work to bring the person back as they replace missing body parts. But not Revivify as it does not.

  • @martinpat94

    I wonder if the reason why Beholders become weaker when they transform into a Witness because the Squidwards are afraid of a situation like what happens when they try to transform a Dragon.
