What if the heaven mimic casts 20th level counter spell
Wingmaster6 t1_itvxbii wrote
The wizard will counterspell their counterspell
henney22 t1_itw53nv wrote
Damm can't argue that logic
Jayccob t1_itwdelf wrote
What if the heaven mimic can cast counterspell at will though? It could then return the favor to the wizard, potential causing the infamous counterspell feedback loop.
Would that count as a victory as long as there is always some person there to cast counterspell? I feel that would create a new religion where people become priests and make pilgrimages to this place to take up the holy duty of casting counterspell at the sky for like a week then rotate out.

Jarvoman t1_itwxvi3 wrote
Well the highest you can cast that is 9th but have the wizard counterspell their counterspell or you use your reaction to cancel their counterspell with your own counterspell if you prepped it.
A_Martian_Potato t1_ity2f1b wrote
Can you do that? That would imply taking a reaction within your own action.
Jarvoman t1_ity4s62 wrote
Yeah it was ruled you can counterspell a counterspell targeting you original spell casting in sage advice.

Ah. I see this is well trodden ground. I've been playing ttrpgs for ages but my current campaign is the first time I've played DnD.
sh4d0wm4n2018 t1_iu1jqp5 wrote
It's been an argument for longer than I've been alive lol
The idea that you can cast two spells (main spell and counter spell) simultaneously without a feat baffles some people.
(Sometimes I feel like this is the main reason you are only allowed one reaction per round of combat.)

Last game I played, our DM had been working us up to this big battle with some ice giant thing. He would 3D print stuff to make it more immersive and paint the models. He'd printed this thing in multiple sections at 5% infill. It was between 1 and 2 feet tall. Painted it, looked pretty badass. One of us banished it before he could even have it attack us. He just sat there for a moment trying to figure out if he wanted to be mad or laugh at the fact that he'd spent weeks printing this thing only for it to get wiped out before even attacking us. To insult to injury he'd left it in his trunk after that and his girlfriend went to toss a backpack or something in there. He just heard a loud crunch. 5% infill is pretty weak. It was a goner.
I still laugh when I think about the situation. The "you've got to be fucking kidding me" look on his face was priceless.
buttbugle t1_itznp4b wrote
Doing that is a tad bit of a jerk way of playing. Yes a player can just banish the creature and end the fight right at the very beginning. Bravo. At least let the person that went through all the trouble of setting up the story get through their opening. They are playing too.

Reddit really baffles me sometimes. Not sure how you can get so heavily downvoted for explaining that something so nonsensical was a joke. It's like one person downvotes just for the fuck of it, and then the rest just fall in line because they want to be a included. There's no other explanation.

Yeah I mean if anything some kind of holy deity should be able to just have some kind of rapture event like in revelation where you don't have to actually kill yourself and are just magically called to divinity
Golden-Owl t1_itvsyhx wrote
Historically a lot of gods in many cultures just… don’t actually care. The Greek ones are particular famous for being callous to all their followers
Sacrifice, killing, worship, etc we’re moreso a means to appease the gods if possible for good harvest or whatever
The concept of a god that loves their followers is an exception to the rule
ccReptilelord t1_itvxeqd wrote
Understandable as gods were often the explanation for destructive forces of nature.
BraveTheWall t1_itzklsk wrote
You should see the Christian God. This guy created an entire plane of existence just to torture people he doesn't like. Greek gods wish they had that mafucka's ruthlessness.
TheSirusKing t1_itzr714 wrote
This is more a later interpretation of hell. Judaism didnt really have the idea, it was just the assumed misery of being dead and hated.

This reminds me exactly of a conversation I had once where a religious friend asked me "what if you COULD literally see God? Then would you believe?" And my answer was something along the lines of "what exactly would I be seeing? A big bearded man in the sky? Even if I had assurances that I wasn't hallucinating, I would assume it's some sort of elaborate trap set by some hostile force or alien species to take advantage of humanities proclivity for faith."
Magnum_Snub t1_itw18ze wrote
Kind of like a lot of churches. Looks great from the outside until you go in and realize that it’s just full of dead people living dead lives. Though the church calls itself the body of Christ, there is no Christ to be found in it or in anyone there.
At least those are the thoughts this brings to mind.
