    13:27 The negative energy plane does exist in 5E and is very different to the shadowfell. (It’s that brown/black outline on the bottom half/bottom shell of the great wheel cosmology) It’s where creatures such as Night-walkers reside and they’re in Mordikanin Tome of Foes. Maybe it was 4E that didn’t have it and instead focused on the shadowfell?

      This video almost feels like it was a little rushed, it seems like this could have been avoided by even taking a glance at the planes of existence part of the 5e PHB; I love these videos but I would have liked to believe that there was more fact-checking.
      I believe there's yet another error in the video. At 15:38 he pronounced Ioulaum as Loulaum, which stood out to me after the previous issue but this may actually be the correct pronunciation, I'm not sure as I can't find an official pronunciation anywhere and I'm not too knowledgeable about the subject.

    • @MisterDaviso452
      @MisterDaviso452 Před 4 lety +22

      To clarify, Rhexx is not wrong: after the spell plague the planes were rekt and the whole cosmology changed as several planes fell into each other. Positive fused into feywild and negative fused into the shadowfell.
      The cosmology itself is really just mortals trying to understand the planes, not their actual setup, so people often just use the terms they believe/understand, such as negative plane instead of shadowfell. Not wrong, just outdated.

      Actual people though... the closest I can think of would be some old ancient lost magics- the plot stuff that lead to the creation of Mimics and Owlbears. And those aren’t exactly people.

      There's an arcane theory that all the Gods are in fact nothing more than entities who go transcend the (9th level) limitations of The Weave. Either because they're naturally gifted through creation, or in rare cases through acquisition. It's rumored that Azuth, the God of magic practitioners in the Forgotten Realms Pantheon, used to be mortal. However, the idea that mortals can become equals to Gods is considered forbidden knowledge - to most of the uninitiated it's heresy to suggest Gods and mortals are cut from the same cloth and even in the enlightened magical academies the subject is a bit of a taboo because of the dangers and unpredictable side effects associated with attempting to cast 10+-level magic - they normally wouldn't teach apprentice wizards these kind of theories.

      @@tedective4427 It is not that Mystral committed suicide before spell resolution. Most of Mystral's consciousness was in a sleep-like state to control the flow of magic and sustain the Weave. Upon the spell resolution Karsus fused with Mystral (for a limited time, 1 hour if I remember correctly), unfortunately for him and Mystral, he was not able as a mortal to do what actual god of magic did continuously and as he gained all of Mystral's knowledge of the subject at the moment of spell resolving both him and Mystral knew that the result of this situation would destroy magic once and for all (and probably world with it) so they made the same decision in the exact same moment as they were technically one being at the time. They killed themselves to force a creation of new god of magic - Mystra. Of course there was a drawback of magic being "turned off" until Mystra was able to do her job, but still better than the calamita that was about to unfold.
      So I don't believe it was out of pettiness or spite, it was just that both sides agreed that there was no other way. Because, you know, Karsus did not want to become god, he just wanted to hold off phaerimms invading Netheril and he could choose any god to impersonate with "Karsus' avatar" but he chose the one he felt most attached to.

    There is one way in 5e that Clerics can use, to cast their spells as 10th lvl
    If Cleric read Book of Exalted Deeds, any spell they cast counts as one lvl higher
    So if they use 9th lvl spell slot, it counts as 10th lvl

    Is this a possible situation then?
    Let's say my level 5 Wizard somehow found a moutain that was being affected by Proctiv's Move Moutain. The level 5 Wizard uses Dispel Magic and chooses to dispel the Proctiv's Move Moutain. He passes the save to do it, and is in the spell range.
    A 5th level wizard just collapsed a moutain.

      My guess is that your wizard would have to cast the dispel magic ON the orb thingie that keeps the mountain floating, and then you would have to pass a contested check to dispel it (roll + spellcasting ability > atleast 20 to affect it), besides, as a GM I would put extra restrictions (a lvl 3 spell shouldn't be able to tickle the apex of magic of a lvl 10 spell), so I would argue that you will need to cast a lvl 8 antimagic field to make the floating mountain START losing it's floating capabilities (starts floating down after a day or two) or somehow physically break the thing and that would probably blow you up along with a quarter of the mountain.
      Also, let's not forget how wizards love trapping their towers. One can only assume what kind of nasties would the traps that lead to the literal beating floating heart of a mayor magical civilization would entail.
      TL;DR: cute thougth but the mountain was also enchanted to auto-cast counterspell at 9th lvl if you target it because they are lvl 30 wizards man.

      I would imagine that they are artefacts so probably couldnt be dispelled so easily. I mean, it took magic not existing for their floating cities to fall. Otherwise I'm sure some chaotic bastard would have just tried dispelling it at some point. Then again, if you're the DM it's whatever you say it is.

      @@acancaacanca926 Depends on the DM, I personally would rule that the restrictions are so high compared to the spell you're using that a Nat 20 would still fail and as such I wouldn't even have the players roll, I'd just describe as they cast dispell magic and how it has absolutely no effect on the enchantments in place. Than a magical trap would trigger and massive battle would start as elementals are summoned, golems are activated, 9th level combat spells are unleashed, etc.

    • @haku8135
      @haku8135 Před 2 lety

      Yeah, if you look in the PHB in Appendix C: The Planes of Existence - Beyond the Material
      You'll find a snazzy map of the planes and if you look VERY closely because it is genuinely very hard to see, you'll find at the very bottom just above this kinda random brownish line covering the bottom half of the map, the words "Negative Plane" are there, and "Positive Plane" is similarly at the top half of the map.
      That being said, I couldn't find ANY detailed information on either of these planes in literally ANY 5E books that I own, and I own a fair few.
      The Nightwalker has the MOST information, and it basically just says "The Negative Plane is fucked up, nothing living can exist there. Also you can just kinda end up there if you're dicking about in the Shadowfell."
      There's NOTHING written about it in the guides literally detailing every other plane so DMs can run adventures in them. There's NOTHING but a tiny little blurb acknowledging they exist.
      Yeah all that considered, not surprised MrRhexx thought they ditched the plane. They almost have honestly, it's more like a Nightwalker dispenser now. You can't really go there unless you write EVERYTHING about what's IN there.
      I mean, which I would totally DO, but.... that's not the point.

    In retropsect you need to look at the history of the Dungeons and Dragons worlds as a whole. This first began in 2E and ended in 4E, where there was an explanation to why there were new Editions. Officially 2E began as a result of the Time of Troubles (Forgotten Realms), 3E began as a result of Vecna (Ravenloft/Planescape/Greyhawk) when he entered Sigil, 4E was a result of the Sundering (Forgotten Realms), and if you want 5E was the return of Mystra (Forgotten Realms). 1E supposed was a result of the Greyhawk Wars/St. Cuthbert banishing of the Demons (Greyhawk), and D&D was Wrath of the Immortals (Mystara). Each of these events had repercussions that echoes across the multiverse, but the stipulation on magic varies from wold to world and from deity to deity. 10th-16th level spells are possible...
