The more allies the paladin has, the more likely one of them will be restrained. Then they will be faced with the choice of stopping and freeing the ally or continuing to move, leaving them behind and exposed to sight (hopefully while restrained). | |

The fog is spherical, so aiming at the center is easy enough even though you can't see into it (especially in the case of fireball, whose radius is the same as the fog's). | |

| Apr 29, 2023 at 23:57 | comment | added | Ryan C. Thompson | Yes, these are very much indirect counters, ways to negate the benefits of the ability without negating the ability itself. We'll see if other answers can come up with some direct counters. | |
| Apr 29, 2023 at 21:54 | comment | added | Anne Aunyme | None of those are actually negating the effect: they are ways to outplay it. I'd like to make it so I can target them with spells that require line of sight for example. | |
