the spell suggestion is pretty broken in
0:01
the 2024 D andd rules in previous
0:04
editions it could be used to give a
0:06
creature a suggestion of up to 25 words
0:09
and it would try to fulfill that
0:11
suggestion to the best of its ability
0:13
but there were some pretty strict
0:14
limitations on what the spell would
0:17
allow the creature to do to prevent it
0:20
from doing things that would break the
0:22
game in the 24 rules the restrictions on
0:27
suggestion have been loosened
0:30
considerably uh just to read the text
0:33
the suggestion must sound achievable and
0:36
not involve anything that would
0:37
obviously deal damage to the Target or
0:40
its allies so as long as whatever you're
0:43
suggesting won't deal damage to the
0:45
Target or its allies your target will
0:47
pursue the suggestion to the best of
0:49
their ability until they either complete
0:51
whatever you suggested they should do or
0:54
the 8h hour duration expires or you know
0:56
you lose concentration whatever but only
1:00
restricting the spell based on damage
1:03
still allows the Caster to do incredible
1:07
amounts of Mischief without dealing hit
1:11
point damage for example you can suggest
1:14
to enemies that they tell you everything
1:16
about their plans suggest that they
1:18
bring you every bit of treasure in their
1:20
Lair uh suggest that a king abdicates
1:24
their Throne suggests that uh some
1:28
random NPC surrender all of their
1:30
worldly belongings to you suggest that
1:33
enemy monsters surrender and climb into
1:36
a cage like the amount of trouble you
1:40
can cause with this spell is so severe
1:45
that it is probably best to just not use
1:48
it in your game now I've had people tell
1:52
me
1:53
online the spell is fine as long as you
1:56
don't use it to be a jerk essentially
1:59
but using the spell as written as
2:04
intended will have disastrous
2:07
consequences for the game like even in
2:09
in the examples in the text of the spell
2:12
stop fighting leave this Library
2:14
peacefully and don't return imagine
2:16
using that to end every combat encounter
2:20
in the entire game
