| Oct 9, 2019 at 15:48 | comment | added | SeriousBri | @Medix2 certainly seems a tricky issue, a few different answers every time a question like this gets asked. Every different spell seems to be interpreted based on its specific wording. I am not sure I like that, but I think it is the only sensible option, and I (personally) am quick to ignore RAW when it doesn't match how I see the dnd world. RAW you might be right in the general case, but with each spell having at least slightly different wording I am not sure how often that general case applies. It's probably just a DM fiat thing. | |
| Oct 9, 2019 at 15:26 | comment | added | Exempt-Medic | I'm uncertain whether the following questions support or do not support your idea: "Is a creature immune to a spell's damage type immune to the spell's other effects?" and "Does a creature that is immune to all outcomes (conditions, damage, etc.) of an effect still make a saving throw?" | |
| Oct 8, 2019 at 11:30 | comment | added | SeriousBri | @Medix2 I parse that the same, usually there is a single 'thing', in this case the fear, with one or more effects. If the 'thing' doesn't land, then neither can any of the effects. Your example you likely be worded as 'the target takes 2d6 damage and is frightened' to show that the damage lands regardless. | |
| Oct 8, 2019 at 11:20 | comment | added | Exempt-Medic | Or rather, if something said "the target is frightened and also takes 2d6 damage" I can't parse that so that immunity to frighten makes you immune to damage | |
| Oct 8, 2019 at 10:20 | comment | added | SeriousBri | @illustro that would be the duration, if the immunity to fear didn't alter the duration to zero first. At least the way I read it, but I see both ways. | |
| Oct 8, 2019 at 10:15 | comment | added | illustro | Does the "same duration" not just refer to the "until the end of the mummy's next turn"? | |
