| Apr 23, 2018 at 19:36 | comment | added | HellSaint | @SirCinnamon I agree with your interpretation, but you should make it clear that it is your interpretation (i.e., it is not clearly stated on RAW nor backed up by designer's comments) and the reasoning behind it, as you made on this comment. | |
| Apr 23, 2018 at 17:23 | comment | added | Sir Cinnamon | @PeterCooperJr. Perhaps the RAW isn't very clear on the specifics but here is my reasoning: It cannot be the caster because there could be a situation where the caster does not know the identity of the attacker and cannot tell if it is their own companion or indeed may not know that the target has been attacked at all. It could possibly be some impartial 3rd party but no such description of one exists, other than the DM in which case they can judge as fit. Following the lead of similar spells, which say that the target must not see you as hostile, I imagine the RAI is that the target decides. | |
| Apr 23, 2018 at 16:40 | comment | added | user37158 | While I certainly see how this answer works and is a reasonable way for a DM to rule, do you have a reason for claiming it depends on what the target believes to be a companion, and not on what the caster believes to be a companion or on what some impartial third-party believes to be a companion? I just don't see an obvious reason for it to be one option over another, though I may just be missing something. | |
