| Nov 4, 2022 at 0:06 | comment | added | Obie 2.0 | Does that really matter when they are both basically negligible in the grand scheme of things? Lots of humans—and perhaps, githyanki—just cannot be bothered to take the mental effort to consistently remember to do these small things. I think you overestimate the importance that a githyanki not out raiding would put on nondetection. | |
| Nov 3, 2022 at 23:52 | comment | added | Thomas Markov | @Obie2.0 It takes less time to cast the spell than it does to brush and floss. And if it doesn’t, please watch this video from the American Dental Association. | |
| Nov 3, 2022 at 23:40 | comment | added | Obie 2.0 | What is "feasible" and what people are willing to send their time doing are two different things entirely. Think about how many people don't brush and floss their teeth twice per day, despite the evident benefits for their health and the very small time investment. I can readily imagine that having to carefully arrange one's sleep schedule to have permanent non-detection, then remember to do three times per day on the dot, while possible, is simply far too much of a bother for many githyanki. | |
| Nov 3, 2022 at 22:51 | comment | added | Thomas Markov | @Obie2.0 Given that it isn’t concentration casting at bedtime and at waking should be entirely feasible. | |
| Nov 3, 2022 at 22:49 | comment | added | Obie 2.0 | My understanding is that Githyanki sleep in D&D 5e, right? If they sleep around eight hours on average (or more), permanent nondetection may be far too much trouble for the average Githyanki to have cast all the time, unless they are in a dangerous circumstance. | |
| Nov 3, 2022 at 20:01 | comment | added | Thomas Markov | @Slagmoth Yes, and I don't need JC tweets to prove that (see my answers here, here, and here). | |
| Nov 3, 2022 at 19:09 | comment | added | Slagmoth | Worth mentioning that Nondetection is not limited to protecting one from just those two spells (scrying or locate creature) as JC has pointed out even those caught in area effects are considered "targets". | |
