| Nov 2, 2018 at 17:08 | comment | added | Bacon Bits | If you want to be super technical, the spell does read: "The darkness spreads around corners." It could be argued that the darkness will wrap around into your sinus passages and out your nose. Now you've got to plug your nose to do it. Not that holding your breath during strenuous activity is remotely challenging in 5e. | |

| Nov 2, 2018 at 17:07 | comment | added | Bryan Casler | @mech, That's a good point, there could definitely be a conversation about what is and an isn't opaque. I would say that if you can't see through it, it's not opaque. And as a practical test, could anyone from the outside tell how dark it is in another persons mouth? And if they can't differentiate then it's opaque to their visual perception. A way around also might be to craft something opaque that can be held in the mouth. Or just keep some ink on hand to swish around? | |
| Nov 2, 2018 at 17:05 | comment | added | Ling | Maybe this should be a separate question, but does the mouth count as an object? | |
| Nov 2, 2018 at 17:01 | comment | added | Hey I Can Chan | By extension, then, putting a rock on which darkness has been cast into one's mouth means that the magical darkness continues emanating from the rock through its (presumably) human container, making it at least difficult for foes to access the source of the darkness. Correct? | |
