    I used [Somebody's] Irresistable Dance as inspiration to kick off a boss fight. This boss was an ascended minion of an Eldrich Horror, who thanks to the magic of dice rolls, somehow managed to miraculously and easily evade monk blows and run away to return later. The players named him "Magic Mike, the Necrodancer"
    So, when I brought him back, I had him hide until the party solved a dungeon riddle and unlocked the path forward. (They knew he was there, because he occasionally taunted them from the shadows but couldn't find him.)
    Suddenly everything went dark, he congratulated and thanked them for opening the way forward, before introducing his final performance. He took out a pair of dark crystals, crushed them in his hands, and channeled the energy into two gigantic statues on each side of him. As they started to move, the floor lit up with bright flashing colors, and an irresistable beat compelled all who heard it to dance along. (To the song from Undertale: Death by Glamour).
    It was so much fun. I flavored all of the bosses' abilities as dance, from a Bonus Action Moonwalk disengage, to the Giant Statues Breakdancing for massive damage all around them. And also Crit successes allowed characters to steal the spotlight from the boss, which boosted their abilities, but made them easier to hit (and the boss generally focused on taking them down.)
    One of the ways I nerfed the effect a little was, at the *start* of a creatures turn, I allowed them to make a Performance or Acrobatics check, and if they succeeded, they could move and take actions like normal that turn while dancing. But to actually fully break free of the effect and stop making saves, they had to WIS save at the end of their turn.

      Used to be even more powerful back in 3.5, but pretty much all spells got neutered. People only think spellcasters are overpowered now days because they insist on having only one big fight between long rests instead of properly challenging the party with a decent number of encounters.

      @@clockup5878 If there were enough encounters for a spellcaster to burn through their spell slots, then the martials are also definitely dead or nearly dead as well. The most Important resource is health, and if martials are frontlining, then they’re losing health much faster. Not to mention martials like monks and battlemaster that have resources burnt as well. For martials to truly last longer than casters, they would have to constantly be healed, but if the healers were playing effectively, they would’ve used those slots for killing enemies.
      The only time martials have the advantage after multiple encounters are at very low levels when casters only have a handful of spell slots, but if your dm starts at level 3 then you’re almost past that point already.

    • @MasterHyperionMC
      @MasterHyperionMC Рік тому +6

      Except Martials regain their stuff on a short rest, as well as having higher hit dice to top up their health with. Ki points, action surges, superiority dice, etc. all regen on a short rest.
      A ‘normal’ adventuring day typically allows for multiple encounters interspersed with short rests. Under that model, spellcasters are forced to ration their spell slots while martials are able to be a lot less mean with their own abilities.
      Sure, high-level spellcasters are still frequently more capable of devastating power than high-level martials. But a part of the difference is how many people end up not really using short rests much.
      On another note, turns out Warlocks, even hexblades, are actually kinda trash if your DM basically never gives you the time to short rest. Ask me how I know.

    When I was new to fantasy roleplaying but familiar with fantasy and folklore, I made a magic item that was basically this, but inverted: The Pants of Dance.
    While worn, the wearer cannot stop dancing. At all, for any reason. Cannot be restrained or grappled in any way, and has advantages on reflex-based saving throws due to the dancing magical pants aiding in movement. Overall mobility is not hindered, but does become more stylish.
    However, as you _cannot_ stop dancing while wearing the pants, it comes at a cost: Fatigue. The pants impart no special stamina, so while worn you _will_ become exhausted more quickly than if you were moving around and fighting normally. You can, in fact, dance yourself to death of exertion by wearing the pants for too long. So, when not needed, you must dance your way out of the pants to conserve your energy and _that_ is a challenge in itself.

      In my experience many DMs will allow spellcrafting if you have a decent spellcasting level, put time and gold into it, and dont make it too powerful. It depends on the lore of magic in the game, but as long as you don't give yourself a serious mechanical advantage, slightly tweaking existing spells doesnt seem necessarily off the table. You might be able to remove the compulsion aspect and make it something the target is inspired to do but not compelled, in exchange for making it multi-target. Allowing a person to dance along with the choreography you magically impose into them, but they can stop dancing at any time. Could be used for some interesting storytelling but very little abuse, so some DMs might go for it

Aside from the copyrighted names, they can't really enforce it. And they have so many things that aren't copyrightable. Goblins and kobolds? From European folk lore. Dragons? From all over the place!

  • @TheFangeye
    @TheFangeye Рік тому +3

    I love this spell, it is just so hilarious. Though I have to say I feel like almost no one talks about Entangle which is just so good. It causes the Restrained condition which does the no movement, advantage, and disadvantage of the Irresistible Dance. Sure, the enemy does get an immediate save unlike the Irresistable Dance. But if the enemy fails they can spend their action to make a Strength check, not a Strength save, against your spell save DC. Also it is an AoE, it creates difficult terrain in the AoE, and it's a first level spell! The fact that Strength saves are the least common save among monsters is just icing on the cake. I guess the fact that Entangle is limited to Druids (and Rangers if you allow the expanded spell list) is why it isn't discussed as much.

    • @ColonelHazard
      @ColonelHazard Рік тому

      Eh, as someone who has played a druid for over a year on a weekly basis, Entangle is a fine and sometimes quite useful spell. The fact that you get it at such a low level is its big selling point for area control. However, even if they don't have strength save proficiency, lots of monsters are big and beefy with STR scores over 20 (so +5 or better modifiers) and if they roll even half decently, will often beat your spell save DC (at least at lower levels).
      The thing that makes Irresistible Dance so good is the complete lack of any save for the initial casting, which guarantees the effect on the target at least until their next turn. That is *invaluable* against anything that has legendary resistance, which would just ignore Entangle.

    Bard of Creation’s animated object has an ability called “Irrepressible Dance.” Basically, all your friends that start their turn within 10 feet of it (apparently including itself!) get an extra 10 feet of walking speed for that turn. Any enemies that start within 10 feet have their movement *decreased* by 10 feet. It’s not the craziest thing in the world, given the small radius, but it’s hilarious roleplay-wise. All your friends are cha-cha sliding to move just a little further, while the enemies have to stop earlier to breakdance or whatever.
    Incidentally, this strategy let me completely shut down some Gibbering Mouthers, who only have 10 feet of movement to begin with.

    I think you can always break the dancing before breaking out of the tentacles, but it's still just increasing the power of the tentacles even at that and targeting two separate saves at the same time while essentially always working since you would be forced to make 2 dex saves at disadvantage before you could even think about making saves against the dancing.

      One homebrew rule you could add is instead of the Wisdom save to dispel the effect, you could instead roll a Perform check to conga at your foe. To still give the spell some effect you could rule movement while dancing counts a difficult terrain. The Perform check also would probably take your action similar to attempting to make the Wisdom Save, the check acting like a situational replacement for the Dash Action. You can also only choose to either Wisdom save OR Perform check, not both on the same turn.
