Sunday Demon Game
Sep. 13th, 2004 09:57 amWe had a somewhat shortened session of Tom's game Sunday. Tom had some interesting combat setups that were basically wasted, because (a) we didn't want to kill anyone, since they were all possessed humans, and (b) our succubus had Charm Person, Suggestion, and Clairvoyance at will. Oh, and (c) we had lots of people who could dimension door.
( game summary )
Erik and I argued about the rules a lot this session. He insisted you can't see the 'invisible sensor' created by Clairvoyance, even if you have a See Invisible up. ("See invisible says you see invisible things as if they were visible. You think that if the spell said that it created a 'visible sensor', you wouldn't be able to see it?"), and also that druids in the forgotten realms got their powers from gods ("It says in the book that druids *worship* gods, but *everyone* in the Realms worships gods. It doesn't say anything about the source of their power changing."). It's frustrating arguing these things with him because he'll insist that I'm 'adding rules' when I take things as written instead of adding the rules he wants ("It doesn't SAY that you could see the sensor if you had a see invisible up, so you're adding that!" "It doesn't SAY that a druid who was transformed into a demon would lose his powers, so you're adding that!"). And he has his brother there, who always takes his side no matter what.
Gah.
